Nah, I didn’t mean that as an insult (sorry, Isaiah Colbert & cohort). I’d kill to be 26 again - just to go back a decade or so.

I believe, a few weeks ago, that one of the SE execs said that we should’ve had no reason to expect a release of FF16 for PC (at least not anytime close to PS5's version).

Yikes, you're a young one. Lol

26 is a worthwhile milestone?

Ah, so it was ultimately speculation and not an actual report.

It’s like they keep trying to erase history of said walled garden “ecosystem” tactics... Remember the Beta Max?

Yeah, I think they knew they were going to get disappointing preorders (not that ANY production schedule should hinge itself on such a thing). It could very well be that they’re going to “pull a PS5," deliberately this time at least, and scale down supply to help drive up demand (previews for VR2 have been quite…

Dead Space’s sound mixing is incredible! (OG and remake)

It is not a non-sequitur or a left-field tangential discussion, but a supposition that we don’t even need to factor in EAT, automatically, into MS’s decision-making here. We shouldn’t; the tech world made big plays relatively quickly in the pandemic, and as of this month are using their various data (a lot of…

I understood it fine. In bookkeeping you always know expenses beforehand, and can make preliminary budgeting decisions without knowing the yield efficacy of revenue sources. THAT WAS THE MAJOR IMPLICATION IN MY FIRST POST.

They're not delaying the console version so that PC can be fixed. They're delaying both because both need to be fixed (the former before-the-fact or before launch, the latter after-the-fact).

You’re ostensibly not saying anything contrary to what I said, and therefore not making sense if I try to suss out what you’re trying to correct. Regardless, if I assume I haven’t misunderstood you, it’s still easy to assume the inverse (you misunderstood me) - therefore, save your sass for someone who deserves it,…

They had an incredible amount of expenses too; as a rule of thumb, one doesn’t know their take-home EAT until well after the dust settles. One knows - and sometimes must pay - expenses right away.

Seems to me they’re “rightfully “ capitalising on their still “popular” product, which is still generating revenue at optimal profit margins — the real reason they never lowered the price (this also lets them bandy about a brand name that experiences the Nintendo Effect, in the future).

By the way, what are your staff doing to defend the company reputation, given the recent negative trend on Twitter? We can’t be coming to bat for you, forever, and there are certain things y’all could sah that theoretically nip criticisms towards you in the bud, but nobody’s saying it. We don’t have the clout for our…

Gilded age.

Literally, since they merged with Enix and restructured around the year 2000.

Ok, guess I won’t buy either thing, PS5 or FF16, AT ALL. Emulator and “ROM” 10+ years later, whenever my backlog probably clears up and I’m old, anyway. (I’ll be perilously close to 50 in a decade, lmao).

How is this the same situation?

Don't people already have enough to play?
