One meta belief I have, is that I think "on the face pursuing idealistic objective A, but actually being tilted toward selfish objective B" is better than "openly pursuing objective B". Many seem to believe the opposite, typically saying something like "at least the latter is honest". I feel like what this misses, is that maintaining the face of pursuing idealistic objective A, and using A to coordinate a large coalition, is a pretty big speed bump against attempts to pursue B too brazenly. When "the mask comes off", things actually become much worse, and strategies that pursue B at high costs to other values (including A, and also often general human decency) become unlocked. Are there any good arguments against this intuition I have? (Whether generalized, or about specific situations)

The Dark Side Of Gaming portal presents its rating of the most visually impressive games of 2024 for personal computers. The leading position was taken by the action adventure Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from MachineGames. When compiling this top list, experts focused solely on the graphics capabilities of the games, without taking into account their optimization. According to experts, thanks to advanced path tracing effects, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle sets a new standard for next-generation games. It is especially worth noting the realistic lighting and detailed 3D models of the characters. Despite some minor flaws, such as low-resolution textures in some places, the game retains its leading position and is likely to remain one of the most beautiful even in 2025. In second place on the list was Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, created on Unreal Engine 5. She was singled out for her stunning scenery and textures. Completing the top three is the horror Silent Hill 2

It seems that the upcoming Unknown 9: Awakening game from Reflector Entertainment studio and Bandai Namco publishing house, created in collaboration with Sweet Baby Inc., is having serious sales difficulties. Several users spoke about the situation with pre-orders for the game, citing data from retail stores: no pre-orders were made in 25 US stores, including those in densely populated areas. Sources note that this happens extremely rarely. Digital sales are no better: according to SteamDB, the game ranks 388th in the list of the most desired Steam games and 4811th in sales. These results are not surprising: after it became known in March about the collaboration of developers with SIB co-founders David Bedar and Kim Belair, who are listed in the game's credits, the curator of Sweet Baby Inc Detected added a corresponding note on Steam. As a result, players began to express their dissatisfaction en masse, believing that SIB spoils the next game. Different

It's no secret that Baldur's Gate 3 has raised the bar for role-playing games after its full release in 2023. Having received numerous awards and prizes in various publications, the Larian team has high hopes for what will happen next. In a recent interview with IGN, Larian Studios art director Joachim Vlemincks said that "all this success means high hopes for what will happen next." Vlemincks continues, "As always, we are calm and don't let success blind us to how much hard work it took to get to this place." We already know that Larian is not working on a new Baldur's Gate game or DLC for the widely acclaimed game, but this does not mean that the team is going to rest on its laurels. We are still hardworking bees, ready for new adventures. The quality bar has been set by BG3, and we are thinking about how to raise it even higher. Since the release of Baldur's Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2, Larian has been constantly expanding the scope of each of its games, but this
