Pandemic Hockey locker room??

That won’t happen - as much as I hate what they did and wish all kinds of bad things on them - the crime here is littering and at best it’d be like a $500 fine and maybe 50 hours community service. 

And about want vs. need. We struggle all the time with this on the 14 y/o. I get that you want it - do you need it? is there an alternative that maybe isn’t as fancy or trendy but still does the key thing that makes you want it.

This was my thought too - yeah the car payment sucks - but its manageable in her situation - I skipped to a few clips but it looks like the spending on fast food, monopoly go, door dash, and amazon are huge. The spot I saw she was dropping like $18 a day on Monopoly Go. Cut out all that crap and she wouldn’t have an…

They have done tv spots during NFL games - which is the only place I have seen their ads. But if you aren’t a regular mobile gamer you are likely falling outside their targeting parameters on digital. Also over the course of a year - $500m doesn’t go as far as you think it does to be constantly in market. that money…

Its been a while but there are already “fun coins” in the PC and PS version. The xbox is getting a different version likely to give MS a cut of the pie. That isn’t really a change. All these games have premium currency. Although its weird to have a different one on different platforms I’ll give you that.

No it is the same because anyone playing online on their xbox already has game pass. Needing to get game pass to play on xbox is going to apply to a very small subset of people. 

I don’t think this is all that big of a deal. For the Coins - the PS and PC version also have a premium currency - its just a different one on Xbox - probably so they get their cut of the sweet sweet MTX money.

People forget Fortnite stared as a PvE game -

They sound terrible because they are dry and emotionless. there is no subtle changes in tone or pitch that often carry a lot of meaning.

Every decision they made with PSVR2 was bad - price, no PC compatibility, no back compatibility, really no new software since launch and only a couple exclusives. The worst has to be alienating that niche audience by not letting them play their PSVR1 games on the new hardware. Those people were the primary market.

A blown tire sounds much more like either a routine maintenance issue on the airlines side or something like debris on the runway that would an airport issue. Old tires need replaced. 

$35 for that stuff is criminal. I believe I’ll pass on that. Nothing they are adding is worth that cost. They sure make it hard to like Persona sometimes. 

I think a key though is that all the successful games you list other than Destiny 2 are free to play. I’ve dabbled with Genshin and played the heck out of Star Rail on the PS5 - and even though the content is live service, the games are very SP. I haven’t really spent money beyond a couple of season passes when I had…

When everything not single player become a live service game? You can have MP without live services.

So double down on the thing we just said was a failure and move away from the thing that was a financial success?? Well it’s WB/Discovery so i guess that tracks on making dumb decisions.

Its the MMO thing all over again. Everyone was trying to get inon that sub money WoW had - and no one could really do it. Everyone one of them spent a ton of money and fizzled. It took how many years and a massive reboot before FFXIV came along?? That is a lot of studio time and money dumped in the trash heap.

Line must go up!!! They can make a lot of money per quarter but if it is flat then the execs and shareholder think that is failure. So they slate more games than they can really support (and more than the audience can consume). This leads to the over hiring/mass layoff cycle as the too many games in the pipeline make…

This was my thought reading this. It is pretty universally considered a great game. Not sure why that is in the headline. It was one of the game that led me to get a PS4. Its all around one of my favorites. Forbidden West didn’t really pull me in the same - I don’t know the map got too big, it wasn’t new anymore, or…

True - but you would also then not ever pull into that drive through again
