Former Halo composer, failed game studio head and current MAGA chud Marty O'Donnell

O'Donnell is the Republican nominee to represent Nevada's 3rd congressional district in the 2026, challenging incumbent Democrat Susie Lee.

Oh no he's back in politics

You'd think a guy who worked on fucking Halo in its heyday would know about co-op games

I'm also fully in this camp. Culture is downstream of the economic base, right now our economic base favors cheap, digital, easily-available entertainments, which unfortunately are very often isolating and exploitative in their own ways.

    Definitely. And because people are almost limited to gaming, gaming companies really put the squeeze on the consumer base and the workers through gambling like mechanics (the absolute worst imho), micro transactions, deleting the second hand market, monopolizing the sales platform (steam). They really will squeeze until the consumer base breaks. And as it stands Xbox and PlayStation next gen consoles are dead on arrival thanks to "AI"
