The "ethical game journalism" days, to
gaters, looked like this. https://i.imgur.com/P37EDfX.jpg
I know that's an ad, not journalism, which is the point. They don't want journalism. They want hype waves and to feel bazinga about what they buy without any downer talk whatsoever.
Battlecruiser 3000AD! By Derek Smart, Ph.D! Wow, that takes me back. The original "in development forever" game way before Daikatana or Duke Nukem.
Blatant false advertising. Nobody has ever wanted Battlecruiser 3000AD.
Uhh...😅 I did...
I thought it would basically be No Man's Sky. Fly around to planets and do stuff. But the designer himself flamed me on USENET so I quit following it and never played.
A lot of them didn't even get that even the early Duke Nukem games were already mocking this shit as immature misogynist garbage. Which is how we got the dumbster fire that was DN Forever.
Randy Pitchford has always been a piece of shit but a big part of it was not getting what made the Duke Nukem franchise funny and instead doing what he thought was funny in DNF, which was some really fucked up sadistic stuff that basically had a rimshot sound after it was presented.
