It’s like a self parody.

A series with 2 entries and 3 remasters

“Maximizing shareholder value” is the biggest turd of corporate speak. As Boeing can attest, it means delivering short-term gains for stockholders (and bonuses for the exec team) at the expense of the company’s long-term health.

Plan B: Fire him anyway because you know the business will file for bankruptcy before the lawsuit would finish.

While common sense would dictate CEOs be treated like any other employee, most companies enter into a contract with their CEO. The golden parachute is often include as a way for the company to part ways early with said CEO. So to dismiss without said compensation would most likely lead to a very lengthy legal battle.

Who could have possibly seen this coming!? Expanding at an unprecedented rate has never gone poorly ever, especially when you don’t even have the funds in hand to do so. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

Its not just video games - but why is it these CEO clearly screw up and make a mess of things yet remain employed? This sounds like string of bad management decisions. C-suite should pay the price. And not with a golden parachute - they should get the same severance any other employee gets. It amazes me with the focus…

That’s actually typically what Japanese companies do for high-demand products. You can’t pre-order, instead you enter a lottery for the chance to buy it. It sounds kinda silly, but it completely remove the “whoever can check-out the fastest” advantage that bots have.

They did similar things before with the launch of the first Steam Deck and it worked pretty well actually. Tying it all to a steam account with a purchase history is pretty significant in terms of blocking bots and chances are high that they’re also monitoring strange behaviors too. I’m pretty sure that they monitor…

Considering that one of the requirements is a purchase 14 days ago, before this method was made public, it’s almost impossible for any new bot to enter the market.

Agreed. I recognize that as a straight man, maybe I am a bit ignorant to certain issues but I do try to educate myself whenever I have the opportunity. I do know that it’s important to have queer (and other) representation, but writing the main character as a straight teenager without the option to pursue a gay…

When Ryuji asked the question, I fully expected my options to be limited exclusively to the women in the room, as that would reflect the original Persona 5’s extremely limited view of romance.

I haven’t played any of the Persona games, but I feel like “the main character isn’t gay” isn’t the same thing as homophobia. Like, I know it’s a role-playing game and he’s the main player character of the game and so ostensibly the role that you are getting to play, but just because you can make a lot of other…

Yeah but at that point it just becomes "can you lie convincingly in a stressful situation" lol. We know people can do that, there have been much bigger lies told in much more stressful situations than having some rumble down under and those lies have been believed. 

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t need to make an excuse to use anal beads.

I’d hate to see somebody make themselves into a Youtuber or chess champion because they don’t think they can just use anal beads because they like them.

I think the test is less “can a computer calculate chess moves and can those moves be communicated to a player wirelessly via an anal toy” and more “if you’re doing that, can you fool someone who actually knows how to play chess well into making them think that you aren’t cheating”.

I’m glad that real science is still being done in this day and age.

I mean, was whether this was possible ever really in question? Remote control vibrating anal beads exist. Advanced chess assistance software exists. Tournaments don’t perform cavity searches.

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

That’s because Starfield is the definition of mediocre, and for the budget and time spent pathetically empty.

Why should it get nods at the VGAs? Indie titles are more engaging. It’s supposed to be recognized why, exactly? A gigantic balloon budget and a celebrity game director?
