“evidently doesn’t know how to write satisfying endings (see also DS9's final season)“

He’s technically not being punished, he’s being treated. Ideally, at some point he’ll be able to manage his condition so that he’s no longer inclined to crime.

I'm in the U.K. This still has the unpleasant whiff of money about it.

What an absurd take. Do you actually expect every company to publicly announce ever single decision or idea they have?

Wow, dude. It is definitely NOT “well-deserving” of a leak.

First, practically, “when they know something” is an ignorant idea of how this works. Games are creative enterprises, and things change all the time. All. The. Time. Game makers rarely “know” anything.

Second, no, players do not deserve to see the ins and outs…

lmao because A. gamers are SUCH rational, level-headed people when things don’t go to schedule or plan as it was announced, and B. you clearly have zero understanding of what shareholder value and stock prices are.

So in the regards of any future plans, titles, and such being leaked, I say “you reap what you sow.”

“It combined a console, streaming device, and Blu-Ray player into the original all-in-one media player. But like Marty McFly rocking out to “Johnny B Goode” in Back to the Future, people weren’t quite ready for that. Yet.”

One of those “pretend not to know what the author is referring to when they use common industry parlance that refers to a specific business model, so that I can act superior and impart useless information that is irrelevant to the topic at hand” statements...lmao

We didn’t used to refer to any online game as a “live service” though. There’s a difference between a multiplayer game where they have to keep the servers running and maybe occasional balance updates and fixes, and one that has regular new content, microtransactions, battle passes, etc. It’s still technically a “live…

But it wasn’t available on any streaming services so we’d have to rent it, even though Roku and other websites said otherwise.

Drop a million dollars in my lap and I might be able to retire a few years early. Drop a billion dollars in my lap, and I can live like a king for 500 years. There is absolutely no use for a billion dollars except for taking food out of the mouths of millions of people. It’s not enough for them to be rich - others…

Good. One less live service money pit to watch die a slow death. I’m glad that they could acknowledge that this was going to hurt their bread and butter single player games and made the right call.

Good. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Mind your own goddamn business. I’m sick of everyone hopped up on outrage trying to be the One Lone Ranger or whatever that shit is called. Mind your own goddamn business, and leave your guns at home in a locked cabinet.

There are some people that society is better off, without. Toss her in jail. Let her rot.

“Skills”? Meet more CEOs. For every intellegent hard working Ceo there are 50 absolute dipshit sociopathic fucking losers who are only in their position because our current business environment rewards shitty behavior even when it negatively effects the business. 

This. The thing was clearly designed by an artist then handed to engineering to cram the bits into it. I feel like their design brief also was that it was going to be the centerpiece of your living room and needed to be some kind of statement piece sitting upright in all its massive glory, rather than just another box…

Seriously, who at Sony thought “Giant Robot Vagina” was the aesthetic to aim for.

100% agree. The only reason I am still rocking my PS4 Pro is this very reason. I refuse to rearrange my entertainment center to accomodate Sony’s poor design choices.
