As Nitpicker_Yellow said, I think the problem is less with remakes than the fact that certain companies (*coughSqueenixcough*) will tease, talk about--and sometimes deny rumors they’ve leaked themselves—of said remakes for years on end, whilst feeding their fanbase a steady trickle of tertiary merchandise (Advent…

That is exactly what I’m saying, yes. It seems to happen inconsistently, though. I haven’t noticed any rhyme or reason to it. But I rotate fairly well, and when I’m in my own net I’m paying close attention to what’s happening on the far side of the court, and sometimes the car models and nametags just disappear and…

... if pcars1 is any indication it’s no where near the level of other sims. In a bad way. It’s a shit sim by a sketchy developer who doesn’t seem to know how to interact with people.

Slightly Mad Studios has a lot of burnt goodwill from Project Cars 1, not holding out a lot of hope for the sequel.

Did they ever even finish fixing Project CARS 1? I was waiting for that game with bated breath and bought on day 1, but it was so horribly broken. I mean to the point where it would start you on a race facing backwards on the grid. Or you’d be on lap 40 of an enduro and then suddenly slam into an invisible wall and…

It was disappointing to see Katie Nolan used only for a ridiculous Lady Gaga recap. God forbid they replace one of those mumbling, filled-with-warm-farts, retired football players who have literally never said anything of substance.

They gave up the win to stupidity. Those penalties were so ridiculously blatant, including essentially tackling the Patriot’s linemen. Also, talk about terrible clock management and calling passes instead of running down the clock and kicking a field goal to put the Falcons up by 2 scores. Atlanta gave the win to…

As a Falcons fan, this will now bug me to my grave. Julio’s catch should have gone down as an incredible, game-sealing grab. We run it 3 times from there, kick the field goal, and all get to laugh about how close the Pats got

I know, fuck that article, should have had at leat a “highly disturbing” tag.

I read something like this below on a different forum, so excuse the paraphrasing.

I really dislike cockroaches, and the shared cockroach article from Gizmodo is really disturbing. :(

But yeah, lots of expectations for the Switch. I hope it would succeed the 3DS and inherit the titles such as Pokemon and Fire Emblem.

Having talked to something like 100 current/former GS employees over the past two days, I don’t think this is a vocal minority. I think it’s a sampling of a systemic problem affecting stores across North America.

As yet another Assistant Manager at Gamestop, all of the stories and this entire thing is 100% true and anyone saying anything different is either delusional or brainwashed. In my district my DM told all the managers to effectively lie to customers. He told us to tack on game protection without letting the customer…

I’m glad they’re being exposed! I was actually terminated last week over this COL score crap..

Recent former employee here with no intention to return. I could tell you amazing stories starting from a GA level to manager. Sources can be fact checked and I have a literal paper trail of some of their crappy practices.

My friend’s a manager at Gamestop and she has an interesting theory:

Several close friends of mine (and myself) have worked for the company in the past. A few of us as recently as this week. We would be more than happy to answer any questions you have. Anonymity isn’t really an issue as we do not have any aspirations to return.

I can promise that I am and will be continuing to follow this closely!

Totally agree, and I’d go even further. The corporate metrics are the ones driving that misbehavior, which wouldn’t be happening without this scheme to begin with. The whole scheme sounds like something some idiot straight out of B-school dreamed up - “we’ll measure performance based on their metrics, just like we…

I love how Bartel in that memo takes zero responsibility for the corporate practices contributing to the “disappointing” behaviors you described.
