Scorched fucking earth. We’re done here. I’m full. They did more in 25 minutes than anybody else did with 4x the time on stage.

Here’s to hoping it stays that way (as in not laid off), thanks Jason.

Yeah, I’ve actually changed the headline from ‘Downsized’ to ‘Scaled Down’ to make it clear that people were moved, not laid off.

Hoping no one lost their jobs! :<

To everyone complaining that it’s a media outlet’s fault for pushing out quick but incomplete reviews for those sweet sweet clicks: yeah but some of the responsibility also lies with the consumer. Some of us are so hell bent on finding out right away whether a game is worth the buy or not that we create massive…

Let me take the opportunity to undercut this idea though; we only know he ‘loved’ her because that’s what he told Quill. He also explained to Quill that the reason he sent the Ravagers for him was that he couldn’t bear to set foot on the planet.

Except this is not the first time the Ravagers have brought a kid to Ego.

So, at the risk of straight up projecting, I’m gonna make a point here; Spoilers, obviously.

Ego didn’t love ‘his River Lily’. He didn’t give a shit about her. He basically told Quill a lie.

No, only if there was a risk of consumer confusion and an entire class of games being called “Preys”. Like how lots of people call all tissues Kleenex. You actually think this game launching would cause people to call a bunch of games “Preys”? Of course not. Generic doesn’t apply here.

Except it does.

This is why trademarks over common words are stupid :|

They made an entire scenario centred around the British colonisation of Australia and basically left out all the people already living there at the time (they get mentioned in the odd random event but no actual villages, or representation of any kind on the map)

I know it’s a delicate topic given we tried (and…

That’s not really a good analogy. A good analogy would be Japanese cinema recasting a character as ethnic Japanese (is there a separate word to distinguish that from Japanese citizenship?) when the character was originally an underrepresented minority in Japan (maybe Koreans*?).  

Also, having a franchise with a female protagonist driving it is such a rare opportunity.

I love it when movie folks pursue racist projects and then disingenuously try to cover their asses by feigning ignorance for being offensive. Almost as much as i love racism/racist apologists who parrot mealy mouthed excuses about people in Japan being hunky dory about Hollywood white washing (i.e. a problem that does…
