Just a little follow up on that last post but just in general I think one of the reasons I've really stopped caring for railing on the Playtime devs... Is just because it feels like so much of it is just speculative nonsense trying to make every single thing they do secretly evil or lazy or bad. Why isn't it enough to discuss the Actual bad things they did [the fact they used to run a shady content farm before doing game work, the fact they tried to sell lore to their fans via NFTs, etc] it's hard for me to engage with content that rightfully critiques that bc oftentimes they then spiral into speculative 'so now we have to tell you why this moment where an employee blinks in the game is code for the devs secretly stole all their code from Bendy and kill babies as a hobby'.

Which makes me turn off my brain and not want to take any other points they make seriously, bc like I said if you lie to me to try and convince me of your point, I'm not gonna take anything else you say seriously bc I won't know if it's true or just something you made up anymore.

It honestly feels like everyone just keeps making shit up bc Poppy Playtime used to be the internet punching bag but now that the NFTs thing isn't the hottest topic to discuss about it anymore we all just need a reason to make fun of it and the people who like it. Which just kinda feels like unfair cringe culture, because if our real problem is the devs being greedy and shady why isn't the same effort put into roasting similar devs like the Bendy team? We can't suddenly say 'well actually being a bit greedy isn't That bad' when it's a team we like instead of one we all decided is 'cringe n bad'.

#ramblez #I hope all this makes sense Im not saying u cant dislike the devs of any of these games #just that the double standards on display really drive me nuts #sure playtime co tried to sell nfts but kindly beast laid off almost all of its employees and tried to sell its fans at full price a game #made by two people in three weeks last minute #if being greedy and lazy is really as bad as the internet says it is why arent the bendy devs the internets punching bag too #you cant have that sort of obvious double standard and then still expect me to think you take that topic seriously #bc when you only bring it up in relation to devs you clearly have a bias against and dont bring it up against devs ur bias towards #its clear that the greediness isnt actually the problem you care abt at least thats how it reads to me #anyways both of these devs suck but I dont think that means everyone at playtime co is secretly evil and in on it #a lot of effort is clearly on display in the writing animation coding etc and we shouldnt pretend its all awful just bc the ceos suck #same way I only level a lot of my problems with bendy towards mike n mood and not every single person who works on the games #bc clearly someone at JDS and playtime co cares a lot about what theyre making and thats really nice to see #its just that the ceos keep fucking up the product esp when it comes to Bendy-
