Wow, just wow... does this mean we’ll have to open a new chapter of Darwin Awards for game studios now?

This is great news. Now we might actually see new Deus Ex, Thief, Sleeping Dogs and Legacy of Kain games. Hell, we might even see a new Anachronox. I assume that THQ Nordic will handle publishing duties for these IPs and studios and they’ve proven to be far less risk averse than other publishers. Now, I doubt all of…

It would be like a Christian worshipping Satan.

This is why Microsoft is buying Activision Blizzard. They looked at their numbering system and was like “those are our peeps.”

Madden 25 enters the chat...

Yes, a defamation, not criminal case.

The problem is everybody is so scared of their sequel numbers getting too high. An easy solution is to move away from numbers altogether:

It’s very confusing until you remember that Activision is now part of Microsoft, the company that named the Third XBox the XBox One.

This. When you start re-using subtitles and just replace the numbers with roman numerals, you’ve probably run out of ideas anyway. Might as well skip the pretense and just slap the year on there.

This is the third release of a game called Modern Warfare 2. How the f*rk are they greenlighting this shit?

Depending of how you see it you could add Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare.

Maybe they should just start attaching the year to them ala Madden or Fifa

And yet it’s telling that YOUR post goes out of it’s way to excuse Heard’s abuse while further demonizing Depp’s.  If neither party is right in this case why are you still choosing sides?  You’re no better than they are. 

Don't have an opinion on a domestic abuser? Someone who struck her husband, used psychological abuse then concocted a lie filled op ed with the ACLU? Couldn't be because she's a woman could it? And this goes against your worldview?

Im not following this at all, I am certainly not a Depp fan, the last thing I watched of his was 21 jump street. But the explanation that it was a joke about her being a witch. Pretty much sticks here. Im sorry but if that line from a text is your whole damning evidence you confirmation bias is showing. Like really…

I feel that. I’ve restarted a bunch of times and have never gotten to endgame. I burn out, and while there feels like ever more things to do, the actual things you’re doing don’t go deep enough to keep me, personally, going.

Ah yes, the opposite of “waste not”. Why keep a perfectly good thing and just freshen it up when you can chuck it in a fucking landfill for no reason?

Hiemoth, do you hate trans people? You’ve reiterated yourself a lot here arguing that the drop-off can’t possibly be about her transphobia. Little bit suspect.

I don’t think anybody needs to see Kim Jong-un shirtless!
