    I am not terribly bullish on the state of video games in another ten or fifteen years. Seems like enshitification is turning that entire industry into a cesspool.

    We’ll have parents confused as to why their kids keep screaming and shoving away the Torment Nexus box, when they were so fond of playing Don’t Invent The Torment Nexus at that age.

        No, that’s ‘do you wanna invent the torment nexus? It’s optimal to invent the torment nexus. You don’t have to, of course. Some of your people will be upset and have psychotic breaks if you do. But it’s right there on the tech tree, and you have all the resources youd need, aside from meat-and oh look, you’re being raided because the neighbiring tribe heard you were researching torment nexuses, raided by meaty meaty baseline humans…’ Not ‘do not invent the torment nexus’.
