boy journalists hate the word ‘metroidvania’ since they didn’t get to choose it for the plebs.

It is just me, or does anyone else notice no one is ever really happy with being a Jedi?

Seriously. Unless it’s a FROMSoft game, I’ve gone full-blown patient gamer. You usually only have to wait a few months for a game to be at $50 or lower.

Sounds fun enough, but $70 at launch fun? Nah, this looks like a decent deep-sale coop game. 

Funko Pop!(s) as an investment?

But Mods do not play well with: Microtransactions, Seasonal content, battle passes, and Multiplayer. ALL things that devs are probably mandated to include.

“Call of Duty Stealing Ideas”

It’s based in the real world. Why wouldn’t they use real locations?

The greedy and lazy developers won’t finish a product, they only know how to scam people with selling broken products

Yes, of course. People will still care about EGS for as long as EGS keeps buying exclusives.

But Gamers told me that professional critics were all bought and would praise any “woke” game.

Because they don’t want to have the talent they are keeping to jump ship prematurely. Also so they can control the message if they are a publicly traded company. It’s all about control for them.

A friend was laid off last week 2 hours after an all hands assuring everyone they weren’t “laying everyone off”. I would guess it’s a way to keep people from destroying work or causing havoc before they can revoke access.

Gotta make sure you wring every last ounce of labor out of your workers before kicking them to the curb.

“Two weeks ago, during an all-hands in front of roughly 3,000 full-time Unity employees, Riccitiello assured staffers the company was not in any financial trouble, and that Unity wouldn’t be laying anyone off, according to sources who attended.”

What does corporate boot taste like?

Better headline:

“Booty Talks Out Ass”

Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, said he was “confident” that the studio was not crunching, and that it was “unfair” to attribute crunch culture to only Bethesda.

“Just trust us, fam.” - every shitty publisher or abusive person ever when promising they’ve totally changed.

I mean everyone ignores shit, like the slave labor chips in device you used to make that comment. Or buying anything from Amazon.

If you stop purchasing things from shitty people you might as well go live in the wild somewhere because you won’t be purchasing much.

30 years ago, Pizza Hut wasn’t a quick service restaurant.
