I think they’d take less time to develop if SE was better at setting goals and planning projects from the beginning. XV especially seemed like it never knew what it was trying to be.  Instead it felt like a bunch of disparate pieces that didn’t really ever gel into a cohesive whole, and were eventually just pushed out…

My counterpolicy: I don’t buy their games until they are super cheap.

Minecraft has a lot more content now than it did back then.  No additional content has been added to these DLCs to justify the price hike.

You’re right.  I should have said “absolutely.”

Yes, please send us more blue voters.

There are plenty of games with randomized loot.  “Lootbox” refers to randomized loot you pay for.

The trailer wasn’t newsworthy. The memes were. See also: Morbius, another case where the newsworthiness of the surrounding memes was not an indicator of quality.

Wow, I had no idea Strangers of Paradise had even released already.
