Essentially, here’s my guess at how Microsoft sees it:

Given that Obsidian was close to dying anyways (according to Chris Avellone, they always seem to be around 3 months away from shutting down), I think they’d take the financial security now rather than later.

Especially because their previous output (Killzone) was pretty garbage.

It’s always hard to say with studios.

And hamsters and gorillas are 0% of Overwatch’s player population yet....

Pretty much.

How can we say that the Democrats are “lurching to the right”, when their base is so wide that it covers the likes of both Bernie and Joe Manchin?

If you mean Libby Watson with her “everyone is a politician so don’t vote for anyone”, then the answer is an unequivocal no.

AKA that crazy aunt on FB.

Simple, don’t share a sex tape and you’ll be good to go! ;)

The problem is that Rockstar isn’t consistent with treating Arthur as a human.

Because the psychopathic traits that shareholders love in companies/CEOs (adherence to one thing [money] at the expense of everything and everyone else, lack of basic morality/empathy, treating people as numbers instead of human beings) are the exact same traits you’ll see espoused by Ayn Rand?

While I agree, it does make me question why Netflix would pick it up.

All we need is Netflix to start entering the financial market and then it’ll be the worst of 3 worlds.

It reminds me of Microsoft back in the 90s with its rank-and-yank policies, where they’d fire the bottom 10% of workers, no matter how well (or poorly) they were doing.

I think the difference is that streaming sites have now made things increasingly opaque.

Hmmm....there are a few:

I think it’s rather simple:

Dave Roberts’ problem is that he goes full-on Dusty Baker with his bullpen in the post-season.

At a minimum, this is why I’ve always argued that college should cover health insurance for all players for the rest of their life, unless they enter the pros, at which point the professional league takes over health insurance.
