Passion or Apathy…

Passion may not scale as quick you’d like or need but sacrificing passion in an attempt to scale Apathy…  

Also doesn’t work.

Synonyms w/ Live Service Games

Passion shows praise & expresses discontent when the game the love breaks things they love after patch updates.    It’s a push & pull but that’s passion and passion equals retention.

Unlike a fully realized and finalized game, Live Service lives and d*es on player retention.

The Live Service Game deathblow is the shareholder roadmap.  Most of the players know the game devs love the game but shareholders & execs control the ship.     This ship seems to travel down the same path.   Pivot to Free to play,  dumb down game to not scare possible new player experience,  making long term player experience miserable.  Slow bleed of passionate dedicated player base,  New players come but don’t stay, Apathetic & unemotionally connected….         Game Studio let’s go of 30% of staff. 

Passionate players remember how their investment of time was tossed away and voices felt unheard.   Never trusts or touches future games by the studio they know makes amazing games cus they know as soon as it begins to pop off,  they won’t be happy with active player base and attempt to scale, repeating the same failed play book.

If we didn’t care, we wouldn’t care so much. Passion might not scale but building for apathy is well….   Raid Shadow Legends… 

Choose Your Adventure.

You are now witnessing one of the most active creators & collectors reach the end of their passion, dedication & consistency.        It was a really simple concept.      I loved it.       But what I love, think, feel or do doesn’t move the needle.       I loved being able to follow specific people & never miss what the post.  I loved the false reality that this tech made sense for high effort, deep intentioned documentation.   

My heart breaks watching the platforms I love, hard pivot to mimic the platforms we tried to escape.  It breaks my heart instead of seeing the peoples original uploads of people I chose to follow,  I’m bombarded by only seeing what’s actively being engaged with….        It breaks my heart I trusted my legacy to places that acted like they cared about my work & story when I remained active during times where there was low activity & then as soon as I passionately gave honest feedback about changes about the platforms I actively & consistently use as a creator and collector.    That support was cut, & now I’m stuck watching the space I thought was on track to bring the magic back to the internet, force feed me low effort, disposable posts in a race to create Instagram 2.0.            I’m heart broken I minted my own work, just so I could leave a comment on it for a better chance for the people who follow me to see it. 

I’m heartbroken no one leaves the feeds to explore previous works, I’m heart broken seeing protocols drop a subpar image that trends with 50k mints when there aren’t 50k people collecting.  

I’m heart broken that being open and honest about what I’m not happy with, will have a greater impact on your perceptions of me over the fact that beyond my passionate words,  I’ve shown up consistently collecting and creating with love and intention to the point I’m ranked in the top 50 

My wittle heart and spirit can’t keep giving and giving  and showing up in places that loudly signal, I don’t belong.      Godspeed w/ mass adoption.       When you trade passion for apathy you end up as the live service game that lost its loyal player base in the quest for new players with no emotional investment or attachment.      

Sincerely, A Token Chat sweat.    Yearning to return to couch co-op & never boot up another live service “game” again. 

🫂 If you can’t grasp why someone is so emotionally invested in the topics that have just been expressed. 

It will all make sense soon. 

When no new context is documented,  the existing documenting context will connect the dots.
