Seems no matter what developer/publisher you choose you get to find skeletons in the closet somewhere.

In my 35 years of being a gamer yes i started at 7, i have learned to code games myself, learn the art of soldering, became a engineer, physicist, artist and writer with sound engineering skills too....

I speak 27 programming languages and can pretty much read any code to a hardware level.

and you know how many people gave me a chance ? no one..
i hate video game developers... their all evil on some level.

problem is when a video game does something unexpected i have the brains to freeze the whole system and dump the memory to dig around.

and often you find things that you wish you never saw.
1. developers not encrypting network traffic.
2. update systems that are knocked out by hackers.
3. processes that dominate your system resources harder than a crypto miner
4. invasive data collection tactics.. everything from your most visited websites to your music collection is shared.
some games capture system audio, some go as far as taking a nice bunch if screenshots.
5. some games actual break your operating system's security entirely without the OS developer ever knowing for up to 10 years. looking at you microsoft.
6. gatcha garbage that is clearly exploitive.
7. responsibility, developers write system crippling pieces of code and play stupid, they troll player thru their own systems in game,
8. they feed their ego's lies with punishing their players.
9. they steal ideas, art, audio, you name it.. if you wrote in down on your own pc their going to dig in it using their "anti cheat protection"
10. greedy, hateful pastime.

11. the death of lan and push for more online pay means i have not played a game with bellow 200ping for 20 years now.... i hate it... we have no servers anymore... every time i step online into a game i'm already at a disadvantage... developers really dont care if this is the case, just another free bot for the server.

i am pretty much at anakin skywalker turning dark side at this point.

thats great, please go make a blog.
the gog forums are not ideal to vent on buddy.
so go make a blog you probably get actual useful reception not trolling either.
this place is not a good place

Just smile and wave, smile and wave...

its getting harder to do that.

cool story bro moment..
i have seen some crazy stuff online, i have just cracked and reached ptsd levels of sad.

sadly Xenoic you are becoming the "cool story bro" moment.

I’m curious, what are these 27 programming languages you can pretty much read to a hardware level?

Mordekaisee es numer uno huehuehuehuehue

so i started learning to code on a apple 2e starting with basic when i was about 7
at 8 i wanted more power from my code learned asm from reading the hardware manual.
from here i slowly learned more languages.
at the age of 14 i met a guy that was a teacher he introduced me to micro controllers, so back then you needed to know the chips you use inside and out as ASM was the only way to program them, Arduino, raspberry pi.. these seemed like fevered dreams back then.

just by reading floods of code and playing with idea's i picked up many languages
QBasic 4.5, C, C++, C#, java, js, webgl, rust, gml, html5 and bellow, wasm, webgl, python and then tons of old or obscure languages for fantasy consoles, programable handhelds, ect ect.

it's so fun to code stuff and i honestly love crafting games.
but i never release anything because life has taken me for one hell of a ride.

i have been sitting with a shattered right shoulder for 8 years T.T
every day i consume a ton of pain killers.
i hate it.. i feel sick.
and my country has a hospital that decided.. we need test subjects.. so they wrecked the last 7 years of my life.
wrong meds, wrong operations, untrained staff, unsanitary... EVERYTHING.

i love people, i care for humanity, i am a nice guy that's always rolled with making the right decision.
we all make mistakes, but i feel cursed. i lost everything when my doctor decided "no this is not a stroke.. this is epilepsy" and then your lawyer goes from fem fatale to mental patient over 3 months.
meaning she ended up in a asylum and other lawyers were convinced my story was a lie.
yet now i have paper work to show.. there is no epilepsy here..
and sadly my employer suggested i lied by not telling them i have epilepsy... you have any idea how hard it was to find a stable job? now try finding a job and getting it with 1 arm in a sling for the rest of your life....

i need a miracle.... i have done nothing in life but give and try spread love, but i feel thin Gandalf.. like too little butter on too much bread. Well at least ur honest a rare trait.

and since i spent a ton of time studying, i pretty much could earn a phd in several subjects if i could afford to apply myself.

i had dreams, much like elon i wanted to goto space maybe even mars.
i look back on my life, wrong place, wrong time, wrong universe.

:(

I prefer to be honest even if that doesn't endear me to the person.
its nothing personal either.

I bet they couldn't even hardcode a simple OS that keeps the transversal shimmy springs in a retro encabulator magnetically aligned with the gyroscopic straylanes of an external volt clamp module. They'd probably fail at the first step of setting up the algorithmic stream calls in the void kernel, which is really programming 101...

question do you think a turn based online multiplayer cyberpunk fps rpg will sell?
i'm trying my best to finish it up.

i also have a port for android and linux.
it also runs on a microcontroller.. idk why i did that.. but i did.

You really really game video games? Or do you really really video video games? Or do you perhaps really really game game games?

truly your comedy knows no bounds.
sadly it got off beat 22% in.
no offence meant

it might, but I play a imsim written by a drunkard set in a post nuclear mexico so you might be able to find success with a niche.
I really really really GAME VIDEO GAMES GAME but thats me.
