    I think this particularly true in gaming. When I think of '70s arcade culture, when I was 12-13, that's completely gone now.

    And what's replaced it is this ultra-capitalism where games workers are routinely expected to overwork to levels that affect their mental and physical health.

    The money in the biz has made crunch time and un-finished releases commonplace.

    We're a long way from this: youtu.be/FHS-Mg0n1BU?si=KW2MkN

  3. has a balance issue. The easy mode cyberspace is too difficult. I enjoyed the game thirty years ago, and probably played in hard mode. But now my fingers are stiff and I'm just too slow. I'll put the game aside and wait a patch. There should also be a possibility to change difficulty after starting the game.
