Leaking that information has a direct, negative effect on the people already crunching to make entertainment for a public that has more content than they could ever consume, you can wait.

Hahahahahahaha...oh, you’re being serious. “Well-thought-out rules?” They make shit up as they go along, including Lucas. There is a visual language, sure, but if you think following your suggestions will magically lead to shows that the fanbase embraces as a whole, you don’t know Star Wars fans.

I love that she has come at fame from the angle of “I’m going to eventually be demonized like every other woman in Hollywood who reaches a certain level of fame, so I’m just going to speak my mind.” I heartily recommend her episodes of the Don’t Ask Tig and Hilarious World of Depression podcasts for further insight.

How is Earthworm Jim “forgotten?” The game has gotten regular rereleases on multiple platforms over the years...it was even on iOS at one point. FFS, the sequel was added to the Nintendo Switch SNES app in March!

Hollywood has a burgeoning cottage industry to replace problematic leads in films (see: Kevin Spacey, Shia LaBouf, Chris D’Elia, etc). The film is fine

I would imagine Rosario is replacing Tiffany, then? 

Not disagreeing, but have you looked at the Tolkien fans lately?

You also forgot the Benioff/Weiss trilogy, and an honorable mention for shit-canning Trevorrow shortly after Book of Henry tanked.

It couldn’t have released at a worse time. I know the last thing my wife and I wanted to watch was the same incompetence, greed and self-interest we were seeing in the early COVID response played for laughs, just as the reality of the pandemic was taking shape. Now I’m just dead inside, so perhaps it will illicit an…

The world would be a better place if it wasn’t. Let people enjoy things.

Ernie Gygax and Justin LaNasa are bigoted scumbags and their company reflects their values.

Star Trek’s answer to Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. I’m onboard.

Bingo. Anecdotally, that’s exactly why my wife and I are waiting. I’m personally content to see if they can stick the landing on the first season before I open my heart to GoT again.

Games are not cars. Creative development is hard. Software development is hard. The foundation of automobile design and manufacturing is a known quantity, they are not (literally) reinventing the wheel each time.

No, but these article do. While they are specifically about Marvel, the running themes apply to pretty much every Disney project:

The word must be a badge for their failures at game development. ;)

The Switch version has nearly all of the same issues as the other consoles - lots of fragile script triggers, mechanics not working as designed (eg max 6 followers in a sermon) and it’s clear there are memory leaks that just get worse the longer you play. The big difference is that the Switch version is currently…

I’m glad you brought it up - I hear similar stories from friends in many parts of film and television production. The insatiable appetite for “content” to keep subscribers is driving a lot of the current pressure, it seems. In games, we called it the “content furnace” - players will always burn through any new…

Linda, you’re fighting the good fight but just wanted to provide a small correction. We outsource CG work all the time in games. While large studios often have internal departments, mid-size and smaller studios generally can’t afford to keep a cinematics team on staff, so we use studios who specialize in it.

What is it about creatives raising awareness of toxic work environments that so upsets people like you? Because they’re “getting paid the big bucks” (the folks in the trenches are generally not), or perhaps because they’re not performing physical labor, it somehow makes their complaints illegitimate? Or maybe it’s the…
