That's really a terrible way to make that assessment. I'm registered as a Republican in my state so I can vote in their primary, but that doesn't reflect who I actually support.

These assassination attempts are just a fact of life, we just need to get used to it since it's obviously outside our control.
Respawn has made 2 incredibly good SW games, and EA doesn't have exclusivity anymore. Seems like a silly complaint at this point.
One of the 3 founders committed suicide before the trial completed, one was convicted, and the 3rd still has over 30 charges that haven't been ruled on yet. None of them are 'roaming free'.
Yeah, I guess they should have just locked all of it behind a paywall so entitled people don't get worked up over not getting everything for free.
Well that is my argument, we hit diminishing returns this generation, and further upgrades are a waste of money.
If you have anything relevant to add, it's certainly welcome, but ignoring context to try to make my point sound worse is just wasting both our time.
I'm confused why you seem like you're arguing with me but still fundamentally making the same point. Those improvements don't inherently make games more fun, but they create opportunities for variety and new elements to the medium. It was previous tech improvements that made Halo and F.E.A.R. possible, that's exactly what I'm talking about.
But processing power isn't really a relevant limitation to game design anymore. I genuinely don't see any future console generations being particularly enticing for me, outside an upgrade to my steam deck, especially when most of what I play is 5-20 years old anyway.
I have to assume you're too young to remember previous generations.
Increased power makes a difference up to a point, but we're now so far into diminishing returns you can hardly tell the difference between a ps4 game and the ps5 'enhanced' if you don't have a 4k TV.
Increased computing power used to open up entirely new concepts in gaming. 3D environments, then larger and larger worlds, dynamic physics engines, more complex NPC Ai and more power to run larger numbers of enemies at a time.
Now, it hardly matters. There's more than enough power to do pretty much anything you want. Unlimited worlds, thousands of NPCs, photorealistic graphics, and absolutely nothing new. It can always be 'bigger and better' but at what point does that stop mattering? For me, it was last console generation.
I made no comment about the quality of Chinese goods, just their ubiquity.
Nah, better lighting doesn't do a damn thing to make a game more fun. The only notable difference that even matters is better load times.
That's not really helpful when the vast majority still manufacture in China, and at best 'assemble' somewhere else.
That's moderately useful for statistics purposes, but that's all. It does not mean every individual person who registers as Republican believes in Republican values and votes for Republicans. Nor is it a complete list, plenty of states don't require registration for primaries so there are lots of people who don't bother declaring either way.
