Agree with all your points.

Maybe, like everywhere else, the COVID pandemic has people starved for a feel-good movie and drove up sales.

Something tells me that his staff was all male.

I guess which game is better is completely subjective, because in my opinion, gameplay notwidstanding, they are different in storytelling in a large degree.

Remember: they are buying Zenimax, not only Bethesda.

Sony, and Nintendo, have a large first-party and second-party ecosystem, so I doubt that this particular decision will factor in their long term plan.

My original comment which you quoted was about consoles specifically, under the assumption that there is more than enough games available to choose from. Game availability is simply not a factor right now. Having a few games delayed changes nothing about my point, because which games one should buy is completely…

I’m the king of person who tends to lag for more than a year before buying games. In that year of waiting, usually prices are far lower, bad games got exposed quickly, buggy game got fixed, and availiability is (usually no longer a problem).

A lot of my post is based on my personal opinion, and yours is as valid as mine.

First, I appreciate your reply despite my tongue-lashing. And I regret being so harsh in hindsight.

So, both do not have an advantage over the other as far as next-gen (current gen now?) exclusives.

Here lies the point.

No, no! Please come back in!

Same here, for Eve Online.

I think Appel might have kicked an hornet’s nest with this kind of information demand.

It’s quite an important word in the legal system. Cherish the knowledge, but pray that you won’t be concerned by one (on either side) ever.

At last a modicum of real knowledge appears on Kotaku’s comment section!

Throw in some ridiculous save file size such as this one (different game, same mindset):

I watched to see if his monitor would fall or touch the rotating weight....

I’d say the Honk Kong flag being removed is more important than the Rising Sun imagery, since it’s been the target of much discussion since nearly 70 years (25 or so just for Street Fighter) and H.K. is NOW being destroyed. It should get more focus.
