The man is 83 years old, whoever is still signing him up for new gigs is doing an elder abuse. Let him retire.

If he’s doing it to himself, that’s even worse

Pretty much this. Developer/publisher cutting costs + new IP + costly engine rework + game that’s not even in production yet = chopping block. People just automatically blame this on the MS/Activision merger when realistically, Activision/Blizzard was likely going to do this anyway. Activision and Blizzard have…

Microsoft doesn’t count contract workers when it comes to layoffs. These people are just quietly let go.

These are all blue badges.

Nobody’s under the illusion this package is mandatory, so pointing out that you don’t have to buy it is a straw man. The problem is that it exists at all, that CIG are even selling digital items at this price point in the first place.

What’s the N word?

Turning every piece of content into a culture war site independent of its quality is the worst tendency of this post-Ghostbusters era in media. If it looks bad, don't watch it. Consuming stuff doesn't make you a good person.

I realize this may make me sound like a bad person but... I have no desire to watch this. I did not think she was compelling or interesting in Hawkeye. I was either out of comics by the time she was introduced or she was so obscure I did not know about her (I got out in the late 90s) so I have no connection to her…

Now, probably a year or so later, Arthur and Hera (Amber Heard) have a child

You’re going to cherry pick across 4 years and leave out Top Gun Maverick, Everything, Everywhere All At Once, Avatar 2, Turning Red, etc. from the 2020s? And try to convince me in the same breath that Never Say Never Again is some certified classic?

This is such a petulant, uniformed take that only an entitled child would think is “rational.” Like, why do you NEED to know what a developer is going to make for the next ten years? Not even a guaranteed timeline, at that.

Get cooked in the replies to you. Reap what you sow, I guess.

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

I really liked the first State of Decay game. Kind of janky, but I liked the open-ended nature of it. 

Real estate in Florida a good investment in 2023, considering what we have seen with global warming and what we know about their geography? Now I’ve heard everything.

“LICK THE BOOT! LICK THE BOOT!”

Yeah I accidentally clicked on it trying to open the comments. Every day I wonder if this will be the day I stop visiting this site, but it’s hard to kick a 15 year habit. 

Between no commenting on Deadspin or The Root, the “suspension” of Jezebel, and all the broken shit of Kinja, who knows how long things go before getting the big plug pulled.

Your window of opportunity for that may be measured in minutes, rather than days or weeks I’m afraid. (RIP Jezebel)

I feel like it is about to be out of date. Hopefully I can think up another stupid screen name before Jalopnik gets the axe too.
