Very simple.
They canned a planned PS5 version from a studio that they acquired.
Sony doesn’t buy a studio and then take shit from Microsoft, they acquire a studio and plan new games for their own platform.

Well, partially because Sony isn’t buying up major publishers and then making their games platform-exclusive, at least not yet.

“This deal was not done to take games away from another playerbase like that,” Spencer said. “Nowhere in the documentation that we put together was: ‘How do we keep other players from playing these games?’ We want more people to be able to play games, not fewer people to be able to go play games.”

I had honestly forgotten about the domestic abuse allegations, I thought most of his being “canceled” was on the basis of the number of inappropriate texts with an underage fan (which then prompted other similar texts and DMs to be released).

Seriously. Focusing on one while ignoring the other feels like “Just don’t look over here.”

Doesn’t negate all the weird behavior at the offices as documented by his coworkers.

While obviously we don’t know the exact specifics of what actually happened here, it was pretty telling that everyone who knew or worked with him was immediately ready to accept it as fact because of all of their experiences dealing with him and his history of behavior everywhere he went. The number of stories that…

Quick correction to this part of the article: “He had reportedly been arrested for these charges and pleaded guilty to two counts in October of that same year.” He pleaded NOT guilty to the two counts. The current version makes things very confusing.

I mean, there’s still all that horrific shit of him sliding into underage girls DMs and telling them they’re hot jailbait.

“No one wants to work give birth anymore!”

Given how fucking desperate rich old Japanese men are about the plunging birth rate of slaves for them to profit off of, I can definitely see the confusion.

My girlfriend and I wanted to play this, but we’re on the fence about getting Japanese citizens pregnant. We have a lot on our plate already.

Maybe Japanese women are tired of giving up their careers and life outside the Japanese home...or maybe it is just too expensive to have children now. But no, those are not the real reasons, it is because they haven’t played the right video game.

“something something Nintendo resale values”

Does the prequel include a wage high enough to support another human life?

I will give credit to its creator for being honest and open about being horny, as opposed to Metal Gear guy and his “she breathes through her skin” bullshit.

I found that NieR Automata was great in spite of its random cheeseball elements of 2B’s design. Had the story or concepts been lesser, it would have definitely been an obvious excuse for some designer to indulge in their French maid fetish. 

Pointing to FF7 as the start of that even in video games is odd. 

Lmao I feel like blaming FF7 for the sexualization of skirts is a bit of a massive reach considering as the miniskirt was sexualized decades before FF7 was even conceived of.

Honestly when it comes to Resident Evil and skirts the only thing I want to know is why Jill was wearing a mini skirt and halter top in the original RE3. It’s not like she was going out on a date when the outbreak occurred; she had spent days preparing to escape Raccoon City and zombies had already started showing up…
