Really need those clicks, huh Eurogamer?
They're really making an article about mods breaking when the game is updated, an event that nearly always happens when any game is updated. Incredible.
Sure, but things like this are implied.
Imagine if the weather reporter started explaining how it'll begin raining next week, causing puddles, wet clothes and slippery surfaces.
Yeah, we know, that tends to happen when it rains.
Controversy drives engagement
Exhibit A: All of Lemmy. Seriously, this entire place, especially this community it just controversy and outrage. It's so boring.
You don’t have to use this site
Thanks, I'm considering not. People here are very unwelcoming and elitist. Even more so than reddit, which is impressive.
I'm honestly getting the same feeling. Some posts, the comments will be fairly normal. Posts like this one, though, are when the entitled shits start popping out their heads and and going "ackshually" about how mods work, and how the company is doing this on purpose just to spite them playing with mods.
Like, no dip shit, the company isn't doing this on purpose just to spite you. They've already had this planned and have been working on it for some time, they're not just gonna stop their work if the modders are okay with it.
Ok 💅
I read the headline and thought "well yea, no shit. Thats what happens". It must be a slow news day (you can only report the "new" release date for gta so many times).
I mean it's working. Have you read some of the entitled bullshit people are posting in the comments?
