    This is online discourse in general with Americans. Nuance is impossible, it’s all “you’re either with us or against us”, for example when discussing China. Doesn’t even have to be something political, just any charged argument at a point in time.

    Must be a coincidence that Lemmy was much more relaxed and welcoming when there were fewer Americans here in the beginning, you could even read news about European countries, now all we get is American politics spam.

      Yeah, it does. Everything is political. I guarantee, you’ve never had an apolitical argument taken over by Americans, because there’s no such thing as an apolitical argument

          CDPR made the combat easier so the game would appeal to a wider audience and make more money. The Witcher games are getting worse because of capitalism. If money weren’t involved, the devs could focus on making a work with artistic value, including in the gameplay, rather than chasing mass appeal.

              Well that’s just the advancement of human collective knowledge and skill over time due to the ability of society to pass on knowledge and make decisions about the future. That’s pretty much the definition of politics. Group decision making.
