I think we are a long, long ways off before we could even get to the 'could' phase of the discussion, let alone asking if we should.

It depends on the game. Like if it's an online only game, then of course that makes sense. But a single player game, or even a game with a single player mode requiring always online is and will always be dumb.

Diablo 4 not being designed for offline solo play as well (like D2 and I think even D3 was) is annoying though.

It'll normalize a bit and you'll start seeing more diverse content. Some will quit reddit cold turkey, some will do what i do and hop back and forth, some will just go back and deal. I like it here though so im sticking around at least

I'd add Halo 4 to that list. I think people just lost interest in the series over time in favor of new ones that have popped up.

I didn't really like the story in 4, 5 or infinite all that much. I honestly don't like most of the multiplayer maps in the newer games either. I don't think the new games are terrible but ever since Bungie left they don't have the same charm to them. Like Halo 2 seeing the scarab for the first time, or the different locales on Halo you'd travel to in order to unravel the mystery of the ring. In infinite you go into a bunch of nondescript towers as Cortana speaks gibberish and the brute guy keeps monologuing at you repeatedly. It was just obnoxious.

No I don't think it will. I would be shocked if Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, etc etc ever truly went away. If people remain dedicated to improving and promoting the fediverse it could carve out it's own space in the social media landscape. And once that happens you never know what the future holds. But I'd be surprised if it took over everything in the space

Yeah that's what I read thanks for expounding, it's definitely not good as somebody who also uses stackoverflow pretty commonly

Yeah they definitely need to do something to make that federation a bit more pleasant haha

All there was to really do after you beat the game was to do the limited time raids, breeding if you want to max stats (which if you aren't doing competitive is not really worth the effort), or play competitive. And none of those actually took place in the open world they built. Felt like a bit of a waste

I think it might serve it's own niche. I heard the microblog tab makes it a bit nicer to see content from mastodon users that someone is following. so it could develop to be like a hybrid lemmy/mastodon type of tool. But I haven't read too much into what kbin is aiming to be

Well i know mods at stackoverflow were wanting to mutiny because the owners wanted to start incorporating AI responses to questions posted there or something like that
