OP is a common video game term and this is a video game website.

You do realise that argument holds about as much water as just saying “well Singapore is doing amazing, so authoritarian capitalism must be good” right?

Walter Cronkite was on his fifth glass of scotch during every nightly broadcast.

Licht is really out to ruin CNN like Elon is ruining Twitter, but in slow motion. He could balance this out by bringing back Kathy Griffin for NYE though.

Nah this is course correction after how horrible Andromeda was. This game essentially being ME4 is more than necessary 

Shepherd “died” at the end of ME1's cannon ending

So in other words, Kotaku is half real reporting, half clickbait enrage articles now. I might be generous on the reporting skew

In reality they did because people migrate; by choice or otherwise. They seem to be implying that this place is (possibly deliberately) cut off from the outside world. Thus, no migration. You can’t develop a diverse population if there’s no way for other people to move into it.

Yeah, but context doesn’t make rage bait articles!!

That actually makes much more sense when it's in context.

I am not gonna get caught up in this until the game releases but that quote was limited and the full quote makes a bit more sense

No. They’re afraid of getting the POC characters “wrong” according to Kotaku, Polygon or Vice and end up being raked across the coals by all game journalist for it. 

Agreed. I don’t think it’s the only reason, but the conflict in the writer’s room probably made it easier for him to walk away.

I’m not all-in on this explanation, but it could certainly be part of the issue combined with Cavill getting more popular (and therefore probably harder to pay for and schedule around for an intensive series like this). Plus I can imagine even if he deeply loves the material and the character, being locked down to a…

I’m too astonished that Netflix would let a genre show make it to a fourth season to even have an opinion on recasting the lead.

I mean... they can at least try to see if it will work.

I’d rather them delay the season to work around Cavill’s schedule instead of recasting. Especially since I imagine Season 4 will largely be an adaptation of Baptism of Fire, which could be reworked to put the focus on Ciri and The Rats, and reduce the Geralt side of the story to smaller bits culminating in the Battle…

They should have ended the show at season 3 then...

A glass of apple cider laid him out for a month and he’d sooner die than delete his worst tweet. Of course he’s groomed himself as an intellectual authority about getting your shit together through traditional masculine norms! Of course.
