Gee, I thought our standards of living had raised since the hunter gatherer days. I thought we had an idea of human rights. But it seems that advocates of capital like yourself are more willing to let the disabled die than most hunter gatherer tribespeople would be. All our wealth, and you people are more miserly with it than those who have nearly nothing.

The wild and capitalism both suck. Let's have communism instead.

You didn't read the article, did you? We already live in a post scarcity society. All of our scarcity, at least the kinds that are meaningful to the working class, is manufactured. We throw away perfectly good food in the dumpsters behind grocery stores because nobody paid for it, while people on the streets starve. Properties sit empty as an investment for corporations while people die out in the elements.

You're infantilising disabled people.

You should. We're not cave people, it's the 21st century. We can provide for everyone easily.

Bruh, the release of Halo 2 was a phenomenon. That series was shitting gold two decades ago. A few years later, Microsoft was selling 360s at a loss to make their money back on Halo and other games.

The restructuring of the engine meant that there was no playable build of Halo 2 for nearly a year, and assets and environments produced by art and design teams could not be prototyped, bottlenecking development.[16] Griesemer recalled that development was "moving backwards", and after E3 the team realized that much of what the team had worked on for the past two years would have to be scrapped.

So, Halo 2 actually spent 3 years in development, it's just that only 10 months of that was useful work. They could afford another year of development.

Yeah lol of course solar is gonna make your house colder. The Sun's rays are made of photons with a certain amount of energy. That energy can either turn into heat, or it can turn into electricity. Solar panels turn 20% of the energy into electricity instead of heat.

Do you have arguments to make against the people who hate Infinite's story? I'm undecided, I've heard their opinions and I'd like to hear an opposing one

Philosophy isn't science. Science is philosophy. Philosophy can be science, reason, mysticism, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember

If Halo Infinite had come out in a games production culture like what existed in 2005, then we would today be getting hyped up about the next chapter in the Master Chief's story. Instead, Halo Infinite is a 6 year project with a bad name that somewhere deserved another year or two in the oven before release.

I'm not a fan of the massive amounts of crunch that appeared in Halo 2 and I'm not a fan of its story being truncated and the mess that made of Halo 3. But damn, at least we had something! Throw another year or two into the development of Halo 2, let the workers go home to their families once in a while, and you'd have had something amazing. Halo Infinite got another two years of development and came out passable.

I want the other two chapters of the Reclaimer saga we were promised. I want three games fighting the Didact, and an exploration of the ethical themes of the UEG following in the footsteps of the fascist-ass forerunners and what that means about humanity. And it should not have taken until 2021 to get that.
