Not objectively. Not from the perspective of all affected consumers, such as rural folks with poor internet availability, physical collectors, poorer folks who buy used to save money, etc.

That’s an interesting non sequitur about Spielberg, but back on topic: giving fans “what they want” usually ends up something like this:

Things do change.  The fallacy is assuming they change for the better.  

The difference is services like Gamepass are available now to fill the value gap that was previously occupied by used games. If you can get tons of high-quality games for a few bucks a month, not being able to trade in games stops seeming like such a big deal.

Not bad.  How’s the view from all the way up your own ass?

I haven’t carried 220 pounds up the side of a mountain either, but I’ve seen that, and I’ve seen Death Stranding, and I know which one looks more boring.

I asked for games worth buying, not a dismissive answer.

The unlikely event of the rat hitting just the right button is why there was only one timeline where Thanos could be defeated.  Dr. Strange foresaw the rat, obviously.  

God forbid the film makers should actually give the audience what it wants..

After watching as much of that YouTube reaction video as I could stomach (10 seconds), I am so very glad I live in a country where people SHUT THE FUCK UP while watching a film.

A few dozen, at least.

Probably the “i” too.  

It’s all a scam to keep their profile up for the eventual “tell-all” book that won’t actually tell anyone much of anything.  

Average Star Wars fan here.  Billy Dee is, and has always been, the best.  

You were about 2 minutes too late.  

To be fair, both were very impactful.  

Worse. Like DARE, it likely had the exact opposite effect (not to mention several other deleterious effects).

Oh, Christ.

I’m not getting the “Jussie won” angle.  Johnson lost, but he lost a completely different fight.  

It’s the same issue that we have with modern movie trailers. The people making trailers and commercials aren’t the people making the movies and games themselves, so all they care about is “what imagery will compel people to part with their money?” with no regard to how revealing that imagery might negatively impact…
