Could EA screw up the Star Wars license any more than they already have? For such a massive company with such a huge property at their disposal, they are just shooting themselves in the foot again and again.
Wow, Disney’s deal with EA sure seems to be paying out nicely for them.
It’s not the act of canceling Titan that’s perceived as a failure by some at Activision and Blizzard; it’s the fact that they spent several years and tens of millions of dollars on it. Until then, the Blizzard Way of taking as much time as necessary was seen as an essential part of the company’s culture, and even when…
So... first they (Activision) cancel the Diablo 3 expansion. Then they say: “Hey you got no games or projects comming out this year, now you have to cut costs!”, they drove Blizzard into that situation.
What “toxic player problem”, OW is no more toxic that any other online game, actually IMO it’s one of the least toxic online games I’ve played (PC).
Here’s the thing though - even before Activision, Blizzard was actually not great on the topic of money. This article, combined with many others highlights that - D3 and SC2 spent more time in development pre-ATVI than they did post. Those games are good, but are they 10 year, 12 year games? Indie and mid-range…
That’s one of the major problems with c-suite/management level hiring philosophies of big corporations. The people getting paid the big bucks to run companies often have zero sense of ownership of the products they are selling. The whole “oh but they have stock option” argument is bullshit, because a lot of c-suite…
I enjoyed this:
My advice?
Deceptive products? They were fun games that lots of people liked. Every franchise which lasts long enough to spawn lots things created in different mediums by people other than the original creator is going to run into canonicity problems, and in every case the people who freak out about canon are being ridiculous.…
So everything you just said about the prequels equally applies to TLJ (and really all Star Wars films). They almost universally have a combination of bad/boring plots, bad dialogue, bad pacing, bad acting, more special effects than substance, and bad jokes wrapped in cinematography and sound that is good.
TLJ has a…
Oh, but it was. In every conceivable way it was. It destroyed caracters and broke the story. Prequels merely had bad dialogue.
God this post reeks of corporate bootlicking.
Id take midi chlorians over Holdos bullshit anyday.
His idea couldn’t be worse than Last Jedi. At the very least, it could be accepted as Lucas’s story and his vision, so no one else has to like it. Last Jedi comes off as bad fanfiction.
Lucas’ (extremely truncated) idea might sound lame, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the inherent quality of the Disney movies.
He said he crossed a line of etiquette and he admitted to being obnoxious, not to sexually harassing someone. There is a difference between being obnoxious or inappropriate and sexual harassment.
She can't retract her accusations or she would be held criminally liable for filing a false claim. If she had a solid case against Stardock or the CEO money would not have been an object. She could easily have found a top-flight lawyer who would have worked for a percentage of the mountain of money she would have…
It's crazy how many people are attacking someone who was not proven guilty of a crime. Then accusing him of coercing and forcing an apology when there is no proof of that. Then accusing him of being a jerk for releasing the apology letter that appears to clear him of the instance after he had to walk around for 3…
