They appear to have included the edited to all heck version of Persona.  Uhh... maybe they’re hoping people will buy the PSP version afterwards?

I’m going to take a wild guess and say, no, but that it helps profit margins.

They even managed to screw up their external beta test, telling far more people than they had intended that they’d been accepted to test and then later revoking it.  It’s turtles all the way down, it seems.

I mean, if we take the priests response as appropriate to the age, the adequate response would have been to kill the family, then the priests, then to have the protagonists end themselves. Phoibe would probably need to have gone as well.  The disease is described (and later events show this to be the case) as highly…

I’d argue that when we play games like these, we aren’t so much making a choice as deciding which world state we’d prefer. This is largely because of the artificially limited information and choices the game makes available to us.
In this case, I’d probably have want to have known a great deal more about the situation…

It was honestly pretty great.  I was genuinely surprised.  There is some dark technical wizardry, and probably a huge amount of hardware, at work there.

I’d been playing through the game thanks to the Google Stream beta, and I put it down after 15 hours for exactly this reason. When I started I did, everything: quests, locations, etc. As the game progressed, it became clear how little of it had any consequence. The game’s systems are designed to give an illusion of…

You are correct. Hence why I might give them another shot now that the subs will return.
With that said Funimation’s customer support was AWFUL, to the point of outright lying to you when they bothered to respond at all; so I’m sure it’s not all going to be sweetness and light.

I had won a year of Funimation shortly before this merger happened and was initially pleased with their service. During my year, Funimation started increasingly dropping subs from their shows, dramatically reducing its utility to me.  Perhaps I’ll give them another shot now that the merger has been broken.

“They’ll get the hint if enough people agree.” Implies that consumers then have a rational impetus to attempt to convince other consumers of their position, as that would amplify their message and its impact. So consumers grousing about the actions of companies (producers) is simply consumers being consumers.

But if a corporation exists solely to “always make more money” (a clearly unsustainable philosophy), countering with anything short of “to always get more than a fair amount of value” (also a clearly unsustainable philosophy) would lead to an unstable and unsustainable equilibrium in which corporations would charge…

“It’s hard for me to resent a giant, publicly traded corporation for wanting to make more money.”
But shouldn’t you? If we’re reducing this to simple economics shouldn’t we, as consumers, want as much as possible for as little as possible and begrudge them every penny?  It seems fair that if we are going to excuse…

I’ve played a few of the Overwatch free weekends, and recently picked up the game via Humble bundle.  That said... what you describe just doesn’t sound like much fun.  Perhaps I’ll just steer clear of competitive mode.

I’ve loved Dilbert, but Scott Adams has been engaged in semi-professional levels of intellectual dishonesty for a couple of years now. At times it’s seemed like he does it just to see if he can get away with it.
For the most part the comic escapes this, but I’d avoid his blog or twitter.

“It [Deadpool] clearly has been and will be Marvel branded. But we think there might be an opportunity for a Marvel-R brand for something like Deadpool,” said Iger. “As long as we let the audiences know what’s coming, we think we can manage that fine.”

Doesn’t mean that they’ll let DP keep his R, but…

Where does Chrono Cross fall in this spectrum?

I kind of want Ridlette (Peachidley) to just be Samus. With a crown.
That’s right Ridley didn’t kill her family... Ridley is her family.

Presumably the benefits specified in the state and federal WARN acts that the article mentioned.
Telltale will likely argue that they are covered by one of the exceptions (presumably faltering company or unforseeable business circumstances). My original comment presupposed that the revenue coming in from the sale of…

“How could we possibly pay you those benefits, it’s not like we have any recent launches currently selling which might generate some income...”

So given that the popularity seems not to be limited to a single character, this would seem to be the Kantai Collection phenomenon (for lack of a better term)? That is to say, that trend of turning just about anything into cute girls? Historical figures, battleships, city destroying monsters, cockroaches, etc.
Nintendo…
