Bingo. What’s the gap between revenue previously and revenue now.

Of course, they might have staffed differently to accommodate a scope that would meet projections but nevertheless, if you say “I made $1 last year, my projections are $10 next year” and you don’t make that, that doesn’t mean you didn’t still have some…

Missing projections by 45% is not the same as revenue being down 45%.

Aside from all the devs they've been laying off

You think he wouldn’t control inflation if he could? No president can control it, that is why inflation is up across the world. I don’t understand why that is so hard to see.

A lot of company executives have been on record saying they’re using the cover of inflation to price hike things, and they know the average viewer/listener have goldfish memories and don’t understand or have critical thinking skills. So whenever a company blames “inflation” for their awfully convenient price gouging,…

So, I mean, if Biden is powerless, WTF do you want me (or pretty much anyone else) to do?

no one gives a shit about GDP and economics markers. Thing are getting more expensive and their wages are the same.

I’m not defending the price hike, but I think a lot of people seem to have forgotten that Vbucks were more expensive at launch, then in 2020 Epic lowered them by 20%.

Line always has to go up.

Weird how inflation is the stated reason from Epic for these price increases, but the absolute braindead mismanagement of the company isn’t mentioned at all.

It’s almost like... corporations.... lie?

Well, that's one way to teach children economics. 

I really liked the Entity as a concept, and it was fun seeing a thousand bureaucrats backing up the government’s knowledge with typewriters. But then the Entity doesn’t actually do much in the movie. It’s mostly just Tom Cruise doing stunts while looking for a key. Whatever they were saving for the next movie probably…

(Not pausing for effect, image just got kinjaed)

I was pretty disappointed by the first part. I don’t think the writers justified splitting the story into two parts nor did they do a good job establishing the new villain.

It’s a shit way to abuse developers, customers, and business partners, but I completely understand the perverse pride that comes from working through sucky conditions. It’s an ugly baby, but it’s theirs.

Considering the game was done as a non-union job and everybody used pseudonyms, I’m not shocked to hear it also paid terribly. I hope the later games paid better but I also would not be shocked if they didn’t either.

Is this “we finally figured out a good take on mounts for our game” or “we really need to attract some more players so let’s give them what they want?”

Occam’s Razor is that Mediatonic’s finance people were let go (as is usually the case, back office shared resources are the biggest cost savings in an acquisition) and didn’t transfer everything they were doing.

After Mediatonic was acquired by Epic, its remaster was removed from iOS, Android, and PlayStation stores, leaving Steam as the last place to buy the game.

“She also said she had previously reached out to Epic but it had never responded.”
