I agree, but nothing tells us that they weren’t real, as well. That’s what bothered me.

First, obviously, it has to do with how such a toxic culture was formed inside Blizzard in the first place... which should be pretty obvious given the current state of affairs inside the company, some of it’s top executives, and how they are reacting to it. It’s not something that happened overnight, it’s something…

All I can say is: rewatch 2 and 3. MAYBE the freeway sequence in 2 is better than comparable scenes in 4, but nostalgia is a hell of a drug, my friend.

He doesn’t even work for them, and hasn’t for years.

Let’s not forget that they are simultaneously arguing that the person should be able to say whatever they want without being exposed... but also that this website SHOULD NOT be able to say what they want in kind.

Finally, some thoughtful analysis on the movie.

Here’s hoping for a new Animatrix about post Revolutions events

I really appreciate your insight and love the article. I also appreciate there are people who enjoyed this film, I’m unfortunately not one of them and consider this to easily be the weakest entry in the franchise

Yeah, why can’t they just stick to left wing politics?

Have fun!

Insomniac was actually significantly diversifying their platform choices up until the Sony acquisition. They released several games for Windows and Mobile and had the Xbox-exclusive Sunset Overdrive. Spider-Man was obviously always going to be a Sony exclusive since Sony owns those rights, but if they hadn’t been…

I checked my main computer earlier and the PC Health Check said it (which I built back in late 2019) wouldn’t run Win 11. However, I took some advice I saw from a commenter on another site and went into my BIOS, then enabled Security Device Support.

Okay, sure. And so far that “case by case basis” has been evaluated 100% in favor of exclusivity where there wasn’t a prior agreement in place, as far as I can tell. Granted, it’s n=1, so maybe it means nothing! I’m just saying, there is no indication whatsoever that they intend to go either way with future ES or FO…

This. Years later I would still pay full price to play the latest God of War on my PC but no dice...Can’t say I feel bad about this.

Man, it sucks that this will be exclusive, I’m sure that a lot of Sony and Nintendo owners would have been interested in playing this. Still, it’s weird to see some people complain about Microsoft specifically doing this now when by all accounts they’ve been behind in the exclusive department for years now.

Was thinking about the ME remaster last night, as I’m almost done with 1. I kinda respect the fact that, while they smoothed some of the rough edges, they didn’t remake the game and left it’s existing flaws in place. It’s a good reminder of how far console RPGs have come since then. As far as I can tell, I still can’t…

I’ve been playing it bc it literally was on my backlog as well. Bought it in June of last year and never played it til one day I promised I’d never buy anything else til I finish what I already have. This game is hilariously dumb. It’s a great time waster and completely fun. I think that’s why folks didn’t like it: we…

I dunno. One of the more destructive features of modern capitalism is companies’ focus on the short-term at the expense of the long-term. Epic at least claims to be playing a long game here, and I’m inclined to believe them.

“Late-stage capitalism” is someone’s way of identifying themselves as someone who can no more define “capitalism” than the right-wingers they constantly rail against can correctly define “socialism”.
