Thank you for writing this out so clearly.
People’s attention span has been decreasing since the introduction of social media, smart phones, and ease of access of information.
Imo the government should hold entertainers and public figures accountable for spreading misinformation. But this is hard to enforce and the root cause is people’s attention span.
I hope they could re release a PC version as well. Current GTA IV PC version is laughable on modern hardware. The optimization mod works ok most of the time. But sometime it stutters like crazy and I need a hard PC reboot to fix it.
You can try refurb NUC or mini PC on Amazon with N100 that you can find easily between $150-$200 range.
Right, F1 has been rather forgettable. Honestly, their non rally titles are all mediocre at best.
This is a sad day for racing fans. Codemaster’s games were the perfect balance between simulation and arcade. I wish MS/Turn 10/Playground could somehow acquire them.
I hope this is only for WRC licensed game and we still will get Dirt/Dirt Rally game.
It is a chicken and egg problem.
The real root cause as you said is very likely down to individual’s media literacy and critical thinking skills. But the solution to educate everyone from ground up would be very costly and less efficient.
From an efficiency perspective, the government have to figure out ways to stop misinformation from spreading in short term. And hopefully, next few generation will have better critical thinking and analytic skills to online information.
I don’t know how they would draw the line between misinformation and first amendment. But hopefully, a competent government will see this as a problem and find solutions to it.
