Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Don't buy AAA games at release, and instead try out popular indie titles. They're usually a quarter of the price and some of them have become my favourite games of all time. Indie games have small teams of passionate devs who have total creative control.
AAA games will typically release a "game of the year" edition a year or so after release with twice the amount of content the original game had for half the price.
Don't buy AAA games
SAY NO MORE! I'm on it, chief!
Nowadays buying games at release is doing yourself a disservice. You pay way more for way less than someone 6+ months later who gets it on sale with fixes already done

Great! But do they have memes?
If you wait they do

Talks about MVPs and how execs are disincentivising over-delivery and stuff.
Not to be that guy but the Far Cry games seem pretty damn complete and bug free on release.
Because they are releasing the same game multiple times with just a splash of paint.
I hate to defend Ubisoft, but this isn't fair at all.
That "splash of paint" is the world design of entirely unique locations, a full story, a cast of characters, and new arsenals of weapons.
As an amateur dev I have a bit of insight into this. I can, and have, made an entire FPS system in less than a day. A player that can move, weapons to shoot, and enemies that can target, follow and shoot at the player with the same weapon system. That part is not where the work is.
It took two weeks to build on that foundation to barely make one small level. And I didn't even manage to fit in any story.
The point is, those mechanics that to you are "the game" take infinitely less time to make than everything "the game" takes place in.
Yeah but far cry primal still has the literal copy pasted map from far cry 4.
Game is a lot of fun though.
Tru, map re-use does sound lazy
