Publicly-traded corporations don’t care about anything but big profits now. Future viability doesn’t matter, “a quality product” doesn’t matter, the customers don’t matter. And it’s inherent to their ownership structure.

The problem is that publicly-traded corporations are inherently controlled by the people who pour the most money into them. When “public participation” involves paying for a say, and the more you pay, the more say you get, then it’s as public as a British public school. Sure, technically anyone can participate. But…

Many comments here: “Big companies can’t do this because shareholders and executives.”

Keanu Reeves has no objections to you sexualizing an AI Keanu Reeves, either.

Well, it’s not like MAGA followers have any real intelligence to begin with. (Well, ok, some of them are smart... those ones know exactly what harm they’re doing and like it.)

Wow. Fucking troll acting like a person can only be mad at one manipulative, harmful thing at a time. Dismissed. Fuck off.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees that Nomura directing games is a bad thing. It’s not a bad thing to stick to what you’re good at. That’s why Shigeru Miyamoto demoted himself from producer to director and that was the right thing in every way. Nomura needs to do the same and go back to being “just” a character…

Sony’s probably putting up a bunch of money for this. Which would explain why it’s been announced (for now) just for the PS5 and not PC, even though Remake INTERgrade is on Epic Game Store. (Pretty sure they did the same for Remake, which would be why it was PS4-only for so long before the PC version.)

My money’s on Renew or Renewal.

Sure, Acti apologists. I’ll just take my soma pill and fuck right off. Oh, wait, this isn’t Aldous Huxley’s dystopia, no matter how much you’re trying to get us there.

Better than Devolver? Fuck no. Sony or Nintendo? Not really. Better than ABK, EA, or Ubi? Absolutely.

I think you missed Batista’s joke. Though if you’re a young’un, I don’t really blame you for having never seen Home Alone 2.

Try Dragon Ball FighterZ. Pretty much everyone has the same inputs for all of their special and super moves, and everyone has dial-a-combos.

Not Bitcoin, its miners have long since migrated to specialized processors. Etherium and other coins still run on GPU mining.

Also Sigma Klim in Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward.

That still doesn’t excuse the fact that the 3080 Ti ($1199) launched at so much more than the original 3080 ($699).

Ok, this joke would work fine if this was an American or European developer. But Japan? Not so much. Especially not for a company that had to completely replace a voice actor, including his character’s in-game appearance, after the game had already been released, because he got arrested for cocaine possession.

“Lately”? You mean since 1996?

I’ve never quite understood this on a literal level. I mean, yeah, it’s equivalent to “get a life” and I understand the comparison to that perfectly fine. But... I’ve never really cared for the feel of grass. Prickly and otherwise blah.
