Kotick is a true titan of the industry. He’s been in charge for 30 years, enjoys a reputation as a fantastically successful (financially if not morally) leader of the largest third party publisher, is fabulously wealthy, and most vitally in the current circumstance, has friends in every corner of the market, making…

I just wonder what the point is without Samantha, she was the only worthwhile character in the whole damn show.

I don’t see it as much different than physical games going out of print. In both cases, they’re no longer on store shelves. It’s just that they never reported games going out of print in the decades past like they do digital delistings today. Instead, you’d just notice it wasn’t on shelves anymore, and you missed your…

It’s Bioware

The first one to be given the 4K treatment is Deceived, which was first shown off in June 2009, long before the game’s actual release, and at the time had a lot of people saying “holy shit this looks amazing”.

Well, filming in California will certainly save on the budget...

Yeah, not sure why anyone’s read one boilerplate line as “they’ll fix what’s broken.” He only seemed to mean “we’ll keep adding more games.”

Roma did not skip theaters, and in fact, could not have been nominated for Best Picture if it had. I know you noted this in the first slide, but it bears repeating. Limited releases still count, I think. It doesn’t have to hit 3,000 screens to have a theatrical release — some of our best movies only ever hit a few…

It’s going to be really annoying when he inevitably runs for president

I don’t disagree with your criticisms, but gamers are clearly willing to pay more than $1.67 a month to access online play, even excluding all the other features you’d get from Playstation Plus and Xbox Live. Nintendo definitely underpriced it. That isn’t to say it’d be an appropriate price for the value, just that…

I think it’s possible, but my guess is that they initially underpriced Switch Online, and now they’re overcompensating with the expansion.

Nintendo will maybe drop the price of the expansion pack

My only very mild, mostly irrelevant concern with the removal of the Confederate flag from the dimwit’s shirt is that it’s fun to mock people (or in this case, characters) who fetishize it. I’m sure Rockstar’s only thought is “the flag is generally offensive, just get rid of it regardless of the context,” which is…

I’ve also never seen Twilight. But what I have seen of both Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison is quality performances. My friends (who at this point are mostly in their 30s) always push back when I praise either one of them... and frankly, I’m not sure most of them have seen Twilight, either. It’s funny (and…

I feel like you just made my point — Seinfeld and Sopranos are considered classics. The endings did not “ruin” them: they’re both beloved to this day.

I replayed all three of these games a couple years ago, and I tell ya, the biggest difference between GTA3 and Vice City are the goddamn controls for aiming. Anyone going back to GTA3 today would wonder how the hell we dealt with those godawful controls. Fixing them will be worth the price of entry. 

I think people forget that the majority of ME3's missions are the major story arcs of the series being wrapped up. ME3 the game is the wrap up for the series.

ME3 always got an unfair rap, I think. The game is good up until the last 10 minutes! Tying up story threads like the Krogan’s genophage or the Quarians retaking their home was satisfying as hell. Bioware just failed to nail down the Reapers’ logic in particular... though the Leviathan DLC seems to flesh it out quite…

Bruce Campbell should’ve played Sully

A close read of the show reveals that above all, Carrie was an asshole, using her single status as cover for more unsavory parts of her personality.
