Today's Load-bearing Tomato addresses the age old question: "why don't the devs just [SOCIAL MEDIA OPINION]" It turns out, "a lot of reasons", but if you never have to test your ideas, you never have to discover why they're not any good. loadbearingtomato.com/p/why-chasin...

Starting off with dunking on Tassi is a good start

Tassi needs way more scorn for his invention "game released 2 weeks ago lost 80% of players" blogger clickbait 'articles'. Not any actual noteworthy information given, just give me clicks clicks clicks and farm comments with shitflinging outrage.

He pretty much started the "Steam player numbers are down therefore game dying" trend which sucks so bad

It was something brewing in smaller forums and comment sections before for years but he took it to the headlines and giving that whole thinking credibility by forming articles about it.

I simply say "he writes articles for Forbes, and I make games for a living."

It's the lack of introspection that bugs me. He's gotta know that he's a joke, so his schtick is either intentional ragebaiting for clicks, which is horrible for communities, or he's just that biased and dim

He believes that because he writes about games, he knows better than the developers. He has perspective, you see. We're too busy making games to UNDERSTAND. We're BIASED.
