Howlongtobeat pegs the first two of those games at 6.5 and 9.5 hours for just the main story.  That is a long sitting.

Getting games for free is different than saving money, so no I didn’t make the list. Anyway, you’re being both rude and unreasonable, so you have a good day now.

6 hours is ridiculously long for a demo. There are a lot of great games that are about 10 hours long. There are a lot of great games that are 6 hours or less long. Developers shouldn’t be punished for making a great, short game. 2 hours is long enough to get a sense of whether the game will work on your system and if…

I think the idea is to make these annoying but not gamebreaking. And ideally something you don’t notice quickly. The people who crack the game think it’s all good and send it out into the world, then it annoys a bunch of people and may/may not be fixed by the people cracking later.  If it disables saves, it won’t get…

People very often think they’ll do something and will do something else when put in that situation.  Polls on what people would do in a hypothetical are wildly off from what they actually do when that hypothetical becomes reality.

Both Epic and Steam let you play a game for 2 hours and get a refund.  That is more than adequate as a demo.

Yes all the lists formatted in series/movies would be my preference.  There’s rarely a movie I care about, but a season or series is what I’m looking for.  I don’t care about original vs purchased show, but movies vs series is crucial.

The Sona and Matt stuff is the best part of every episode.

$50/day is a far cry from what it would actually cost. Taxes, fees, and gratuities almost double the cost of a cruise at cheap rates. I went through Royal Caribbean’s cheapest options and the base cruise rate was 52% of the total. $86/day was the cheapest option I found, which would be over $31k. And that would be if…

Blockbuster still had about 1,250 stores in May 2012 and 5,000 in May 2007, so they were still “a thing” back when you first started seeing games there. I’m not sure when my library first started carrying games, but they still have games from DS and Wii published in 2006/2007.

Sony announces the included PS+ games the Wednesday before the first Tuesday of the month.  June 1st will be the announcement for June’s games.

No.

If you don't make enough to buy lobster salad, you don't pay enough in taxes to worry about what people are buying with their benefits.  I'm sorry the few dollars you pay per year aren't going to only depressing food options.

They do have to pay for it.  They license it from another division of Disney and pay themselves.  There might not be actual cash changing hands, but from an accounting side they are paying for it.  They have to do it this way for various reasons, including contracts with the producers/actors on this other media. …

I haven’t seen any confirmation on who it is, just speculation.  But considering it’s specifically listed as his adopted son, Damian is the least likely Robin to be the star.

Before the proliferation of WFH, I couldn't exactly stay home ~3 months per year.  Having allergies sucks and you have to make judgement calls.

So many LH articles lately are using stock photos or no relevant photos. This is a perfect article to show results in a picture. The “what animal is digging in my yard” could have used some photos. There are tons more like this. Are we saving fractions of a cent on bandwidth for profits?

I’ve been to a lot of stadiums and Oakland is the only one where anyone yelled at me for wearing the opposing team’s gear. It wasn’t just one person but several people there from separate groups at separate times. They weren’t even a division rival. Other stadiums have had a few people make comments or jokes but the…

You’re looking at Market Capitalization, they’re talking about Net Assets.  MS is worth a lot more on the stock market, but their balance sheets are much closer.
