And the dialogue is miles worse than FF7 Remake. Advent Children is aging not quite so gracefully these days.

Is this likely to see the light of day?  What sort of stance does Atlus tend to take in terms of stuff like this?  Are they aggressive like Nintendo, or are they generally hands-off so long as no money is involved?

Yes, this 17%/2% is a false equivalency between parametric response and purposive sample.

“we found that games with LGBTQ characters or storylines account for less than 2% of all games”

I believe it is wise to coax billionaires who are losing it, to waste their money on every foolish venture they can be convinced to. I am willing to pretend to be a right wing idiot to keep encouraging him with these dumbshit moves.

This is one of the easiest ways to make them lose their incredibly wasteful collection…

If you play games, you’re a gamer. I’m a gamer. Most of us here are gamers. If you want to draw a line, draw a line between toxic arseholes and normal people, and stop letting those toxic arseholes hijack basic language. If you give them that much control, you’re going to be constantly retreating from normal things…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t live-service games also tend to fail? I feel like there’s a literal handful of games out there making all the money in the world, and then hundreds and hundreds of expensive failures, with nothing in between

Anyone remember when it was revealed that Kojima was behind P.T., Konami’s response was to lock him up in a room with armed guards every day he came to work?

The SwIItch
