Jesus Christ you need to mention the article is full of SPOILERS! Please do, or put a black bar over the spoiler sections, so someone else doesn’t read what I did.

That’s....not how electric motors work, the front motor can’t send its power to the rear. Drift mode will just be disabling the front motor, leaving you with a 270kW/~360hp RWD car

No one who drives a Fiero kit car needs condoms.

Brain eating amoeba.

Testing the waters? Yeah, came back positive for cholera. Absolute ND.

Am I the only one who saw “OxyContin” and was like TFW?

I think Jalopnik may have hired that cow on all the Chic-Fil-A ads to do their editing.

“Ugh, golden handcuffs” feels like such a weird take to me. “This company that just bought my company is offering me completely free money as an incentive to stay with no strings attached whatsoever other than being practically guaranteed steady employment and I am still absolutely free to leave if I so wish and…

Other than the underpaid narrative writers, there hasn’t been any other news, though. Their Glassdoor reviews sound solid. By the “public spat with Halo’s composer”, you mean the alt right bigot who kept breaching contracts? Yeah, that also doesn’t sound like a Bungie problem as much as a single shithead being a diva.

The same people questioning “Why is Sony buying BUNGIE?” are the same people who keep calling the nearly 5-year-old game that’s consistently on Steam’s top 10 players and revenue lists a “dead game”.

Oh, I see what you’re saying.

No kidding. It’s not a bonus for work well done (like an end of year bonus), it’s for work they WILL do. I don’t ask for my yearly salary up front, and I shouldn’t expect a bonus to incentivize me to stay up front either. It’s generous that they get a portion of it up front at least.

The thing with golden handcuffs is that if you are really that good, another company will buy you out. But if you’re just average, then it’s best to stay put. Basically, the really good talent will still have opportunities to leave while you’re overpaid for average employees (who were going to stay regardless if there…

Man, people get upset even when money is specifically for developers?

The “gotcha” is that they can’t take a pile of money for doing nothing? Cry me a f’ing river.

Golden handcuffs?  AYSM?  

Give me even 1% of that and I’ll arrive with a smile on my face, and I don’t even work there.

Good! Too many developer acquisitions end up with the parent company buying the IP and names but lose the talent that made them what they were in the first place. This is the way it SHOULD be. You want the entire process with as many of the people involved as possible, not just the end result. I guess you could argue…

Same. When I was kid we’d wander into in-progress builds, and adults would do it, too. I don’t think it occurred to anyone that this was a crime.  People would wander in out of curiosity, and see how the build was going

Yeah, we did this as teens all the time. It was the 90s and we were basically the human equivalent of free-range chickens. There were three different developments being built around ours, and we would walk through the in-progress houses regularly. I think that about every time Ahmaud Arbery’s case was back in the…
