The problem isn’t just buying a company, the company has to either be willing or you have to have a hostile takeover via shareholder majority. Even then, most Japanese companies wouldn’t likely sell to an American company like that.
Microsoft also tried to buy Sega once before and failed

 Considering Microsoft tried this in the past and it failed, it’s not likely anything that’s going to work today. This isn’t a case of “microsoft wanting to buy” and more just one guy talking about dreams

Yeah, dude was relatively young and likely as stubborn as they come. I’ve got a friend who claims to be a sovereign citizen and believes there’s nothing that no one can do about it. I know, but am not friends with a couple other people who make that claim as well and you cannot have a good conversation with them…

There’s literally no good reason to hide the door opening mechanism, regardless of whatever brand of car did it first or still does it. That should be regulated away

Has nobody noticed that’s nearly every single genre game? When was the last time you played an FPS with a fresh take on the genre?
I know what you’re about to say, but when did the game succeed and not become a commercial flop

The question to that would depend on what came along for the ride. I’m sure a good chunk of what made the last Saints Row a mediocre experience was that it was released too early. Otherwise it wasn’t a bad game, just incredibly mediocre. But that’s neither here nor there if the company comes with the IP it developed…

Do they ever actually attempt to sell these companies off? It seems like even if they sold it for less than ideal pricing, it would be worth it, considering the fact that you don’t get a dime if for closing it outright

I’m sure they could, but a big portion of their GDP goes directly to the federal government and then to the southern states that run deficits every year

It’s actually more complicated than just OPEC. For instance, the US itself is producing more oil than it ever has and more than OPEC, currently.
There’s a whole host of factors that go into the price, one of them is the current war Russia is waging on Ukraine. Another is getting enough workers for the refineries and…

It sure budged around here. It went from $3.69 a gallon up to $3.99 a gallon (or for me, since my car takes premium, $4.29 up to $4.59)

Same, I didn’t even know there was a second and third video. But yeah, I agree. The first one feels perfect, polished, and well executed. The girl is perfect from facial expressions to wardrobe. The second and third videos feel too... rough. Bad acting, obvious lip syncing 

They probably don’t need to make 30 different spin off games.
I like expanding the franchise beyond the mainline games, but there’s a point where they’re just kind of whatever

It would have been great if they actually showed some gameplay

Watching that live was wild. X wasn’t really taking the debate seriously as he literally never tried to make a point in good faith. It was aggravating to watch as his main retort boiled down “yeah but” and “no u” 

A meme song dropped that caught everyone by surprise and is low-key becoming the song of the summer, overtaking everything

It was a song made by a comedian parodying 1999/2000 eurodance songs with very high production values. Specifically lampooning how ridiculous the vocals often are.
The initial song/ video went…

I swear Gizmodo editors/ writers really love to talk about stuff, but never link a god damn thing to clue you in it’s a constant in these articles

Another pointless feature for an increasingly pointless website

Nah, this kind of thing isn’t copyrightable. Sony would be in the wrong to claim as much unless they were actually copying the name. Otherwise, you’d have a whole lot of racing games getting Copyright claimed out of existence. 

I honestly loved Sega GT when it came out. I was coming hot off the heels of GT 2 and needed something new. I had gotten a Dreamcast shortly after launch and Sega GT filled that itch. I wasn’t looking for the GT2, I was just looking for similar fun and man, this game really packed in the fun.
At the time, I didn’t…

Considering I’ve seen plenty of people online saying something about how the vaccine was targeted to kill republicans specifically, I’m sure this will blow up the conspiracy crowd
