Not in nearly the same way, no. When Microsoft buys a game studio people complain about exclusivity, they don’t complain about Microsoft’s complicity in the American Police State the way they do with... literally any Chinese company.

Give us a new Armored Core!

hmmm I get a white supremacist vibe from your post.  Go away.

Fuck Jim Spanfeller, Fuck Paul Maidment, fuck their friends, fuck their family, fuck em for closing the comments, fuck em for being fucking greedy cunt assholes who drove my favorite website into the ground, fuck me, fuck you, fuck everything really.

Hot take:

Oh, JFC. In almost EVERY single one of these scenarios, it would be perfectly socially and professionally acceptable to say “Like I haven’t heard that 15 times today!” and flip the banter.

I dislike Infinite, because I found it to be terrible, and a bad game. There is no objective viewpoint of quality. I mean, yeah, it didn’t have, say, a lot of glitches, but that doesn’t make it good, it merely makes it not literally unplayable. I am as reliable an indicator of the games quality as anyone else.…

I don’t know what to tell you? I found it to be awful, just like I found RDR2 to be pretty bad. I’m not even sure of the argument here - a lot of critics liked it, so therefore I can’t have found it terrible? Yeah, like I said: don’t know what to tell you. It sucked. People have differing opinions on games, even…

Yeah, turns out there are a lot of FPS games - who knew? Infinite remains terrible. 

Fair. One of the worst FPS I’ve ever played. 

Which would be okay..if it was a game that followed a two year gap after the last borderlands game. The fact that seven years after BL2, BL3 is just more BL, in a world where the game community has moved on—yeah I can get people knocking the game for being more of the same.

Yeah its so boring which is why I remember exactly how she looked, what she said, what she was wearing, how she tasted, how she felt... but I was terribly bored the entire time. It’s definitely not the only time I almost had sex.

Also I went to Harvard and she was totally impressed with that. I didn’t bring it up, she…

Love to write shitty Penthouse Forum letters about my sex life that also mention superfluously that I went to Harvard.

Really, you just need to look at his background to see where this stuff comes from:

***Pro Tip****

This may sound crazy, but if you loved everything about the older game and its playstyle... you can still play the older game with its playstyle. It will always be there. For something new, I can see why they’d want to modernize some aspects because that battle system is 20+ years old and they get to bring back…

This is pretty much the best option imo. There’s no way it would appeal to a wide audience if it was an old turn based combat style. This is a compromise that blends action-rpg with turn-based RPG and it looks absolutely amazing to me.
