I have a strong suspicion those actions are “release Diablo IV and hope you all shut up about this”.

I, too, love apologies with no promise of action or reparation attached.

C’mon, he wasn’t THAT much of an Akira rip-off...

This time... the monsters... are REAL.

When a spineless jellyfish like Marco Rubio joins with democrats and stands up to you and calls out your bad decision, you KNOW you’ve screwed up.

Thus the return of Chubbychu.

It takes an army to make a game, but just one person to screw it all up.
