“Or she can become Patisserie Peach to partake in a desert-making minigame to keep a pastry shop open after someone steals all their sweets.”

If I were going to reboot E3, I’d make it an Indie showcase. The idea would be to make a place for small indie studios that don’t have a publisher for their game to show off what their game could do if they were given the resources to finish it.

The answer is no. In fact the WGA has publicly stated that this is what they expect to happen eventually.

The thing I like about them is their stuff is mostly just full playthroughs of the game so you can get a good idea of whether you'd like the game or not based on play rather than a review.

I was in the same position you are. I died countlessly without even getting the Elden Beast to half health. I finally bounced off and quit the game for three months.

Well Quantumania was only 125 minutes, so they're getting there.

Quick question: This is a Horizon game, so what genre defining game is going to come out the same week this game comes out?

I believe he was 16 when he was caught cheating and he is 19 now.

Yeah but Elden Ring outsold it in less than a month. Not only that, but it did so on what appears to be about half the budget.

That's just the compensatory damages, they still haven't determined punitive damages. Plus this is just two of the parents, the vast majority of them are in a separate trial.

The article actually notes that the parents were aware and approved of all the purchases, they only sued when they got sticker shock after seeing how much had been spent over 3 years.

Could it be bullshit? In a word: Yes.

That's because sometimes there aren't two sides to a story. In this case NFT's are a scam and printing stories that suggests they aren't is doing a disservice to the people reading the story. 

Quick note about the banking system. Yes it uses more energy than Ethereum or Bitcoin, but that's because it's the banking system for 7 BILLION PEOPLE. Right now Visa does more transactions in 1 second than Ethereum and Bitcoin does in an entire day. But sure, let's pretend they're somehow the same.

That’s already come out.

You forget though that the game industry then was a tiny fraction of what it is today. That's why games cost so much, they sold so much less than they do today.

Yes but the thing most people forget is that gaming is exponentially bigger today than it was then too. Putting it simply, if the cost of making a game tripled, but you were also selling three times as many copies, then you don't need to raise prices because the extra sales offsets the additional costs of production.

I said I wouldn’t respond and yet, here I am, doing just that.

This is going to be my last reply, since neither of us seems to be able to convince the other, I just don’t see much point in continuing past this. This isn’t meant as an insult, I’m simply accepting that we have very wildly divergent viewpoints on this and we’re just not able to bridge that gap. However I do have a…

A few things. The first is that they are limited because of the agreement they made to be allowed to test in the first place. In other words, it’s not that they CAN’T operate in these conditions, it’s that they’re not ALLOWED to.
