It doesn’t matter if it’s actually very safe to do, it’s the fact that many women have been and are attacked that way so women will always have that fear in the back of their mind. Trying to deny this is going against basic human psychology and behaviour.

You only need to look at the current “man or bear” discussion to see how wrong you are.

They already host their own, XBL and PSN. They don’t want any hassle outside of that. I doubt anyone shared anything to Twitter from consoles anyway.

Why can’t they just leave it as it is? The lord of the rings movies were good but we don’t need more. The hobbit series was pretty terrible. I don’t think anyone is clamoring for more. Prequels are garbage that no one wants, and there’s nothing post trilogy anyone would care about.

Women don’t generally like riding bikes home after dark through dimly lit streets and parks etc. Pretty universal thing.

Is it illegal if the creator is saying they’re ok with you getting it for free?

Why doesn’t he just put the game up for free as an option then?

So many reasons. Not everyone lives close enough to the city. Not everyone wants to ride a bike. Not everyone has showers available at their work. Not everyone would feel safe riding a bike, especially women. Then there’s the big one - the weather.

The people actually making the game disagree with you, but whatever. It’s clear you’ve got no idea.

You said, and I quote:

No, the tech works content too. A lot.

The people at arrowhead that would implement DLSS do not make content for the game.

Cool! Irrelevant, but cool I guess!

At arrowhead especially, since they literally tell us on their website, the people doing DLSS would not be doing content or art or music or anything other than engine features.

Might want to check my updated post mate lol. They literally specify that they do not, in fact, do other things. I’m not the one guessing, you are. Do you work for Arrowhead?

Dlss is a hardware graphics layer and is not implemented more than calling an api.

As is almost everything in game development. DLSS is an ENGINE feature. It has to be implemented by the engine team. The people making art for the game aren’t implementing DLSS or ray tracing lol.

Again - DLSS is a low level engine feature. It should be implemented before there is even any content. Sure in a little indie studio the person doing the content is probably doing the engine stuff too, while they’re probably doing the music too, but for a game like Helldivers by a studio with about 100 people, the people doing the engine are not making content.

In fact, lets look at what Arrowhead themselves say about their team that made Helldivers 2, hey?

https://jobs.arrowheadgamestudios.com/departments/programming-tech

Engine Team We work on the core technology of our game - the engine. We’re currently using the Autodesk Stingray engine, which is written in C++. Our main focus is the engine runtime - performance, streaming and core systems. We care a lot about correctness and gathering data to make sound decisions.

See how they’re not making content?

Then there’s the “Game Code Team”. They collaborate with the content creators - Artists, Animators, etc.

Game Code Team We work on the gameplay systems and features. We collaborate with Artists, Animators and all forms of Designers to create the best possible game experiences. We work with C++ and fast iteration times is a key success factor for us.

Then there’s the Tools team: again, not making content

Tools Team We’re responsible for the tools pipeline, such as the game editor. The various content creator teams are our primary customers and improving their workflows is our main concern. We maintain and develop various tools and software, and we work with modern C# .NET and WPF.

See how they mention “content creator teams”? See how they work on the tools for those teams to use?

You still want to carry this on? You think you know better than the people that make the game themselves?

I am, but good try.

In general no, they don’t. Engine programmers aren’t designing levels or characters or missions.

Also as I said, DLSS support should be in the engine before there is even any content.

I’m definitely not. DLSS support is a low level engine feature. The engine developers working on this are not working on content.

DLSS support should be in the engine before there is even any content - it should be there before there’s even a playable build.

I am a software developer, yes.

The people working on DLSS support are not the people working on “more content”. Not having DLSS is unforgivable at this stage.

I want to buy this game, but I’m not going to until it gets DLSS support. If the game is dead by that time then so be it, I’ll keep my money.

Does it count as tracking though? What private or personal data is it? I’d also say that it’s at the very least grey area since all they’re doing is trying to prevent people from using their service in unintended ways, ie without ads.

Their obvious solution to this is make you consent to it or you can’t use YouTube.

It has nothing to do with anyone becoming “conservative”. Another advisory board would change nothing when the ones we already have are ignored and aren’t working.

60% of the country voted for gay marriage, a far more “liberal”/“progressive” thing than the voice, so saying we’re getting more “conservative” makes no sense. The fact is that the actual progressive people recognize that this was all grandstand virtue signalling, and we want more than that. “It’s better than nothing” is not a valid reason to change our constitution. How about actually doing something meaningful as a starting point instead?
