I do wonder if Microsoft will consciously uncouple some of the stupid support studio moves Activision has made lately. Pretty sure VV has done all they can to help with Diablo 4. And then you have all those studios that just came CoD support studios. Which doesn’t seem to be helping get new games out. 

Is Rogue One even an Edwards film? It sounds like Tony Gilroy came in and reshot a lot of it. Good reason for it to feel choppy in edits. Edwards was asked about it recently and gave a very professional answer

Oh I absolutely expected them to exit hyperspace in our galaxy. 

Hmm? He’s getting a big payday but he (most likely) will be gone and on a yacht by the end of the year. So we get what we want. Even if he does too

JohnRiccitiello? The former EA CEO who over a decade ago proposed charging people to reload their weapons in an FPS? Sounds like Unity knew who they were hiring.

I mean, the reason to not go back to cable is that most of this content isn’t available on cable. So obviously it all depends on what you want to watch, but cable wouldn’t help me with over 50% of the shows I watch.

Sea of Stars is what I expected all of Square’s “Project” games to be, but they keep falling short. Not sure why an indie studio who has never made an RPG before can capture the magic and nostalgia better than Square can.

Agree 100%. Plus think of all the money he left on the table by not being able to sell Trump branded masks! $24.99 for one piece of tissue paper, and his supporters would never take it off!

I still maintain he would have won re-election if he took Covid seriously, and didn’t turn masking into some bullshit political issue.

This feels a bit cringe. I’ll reserve final judgement for when it comes out because I really enjoyed the original show, but I’m not sure it’s going to work again.

Ehh, I’d like to counter that by saying I think releasing early in the year was smart. It let the early adopters get their fix, while also having time to replenish and get consoles on shelves for the holidays.

Episode 4 this past week was the worst for this. I actually felt the first 3 were an improvement over last season but man did episode 4 drag down speed the story. And we’re halfway done season 2 already!

Person of Interest has a great scifi mythology buried inside the network-mandated MOTW episodes. Really good show for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

Mary is married to Ewan. So I imagine they were having lunch one day with Dave or Jon and they were like hey Mary, do you want to be a Star Wars show too?

Rod was brought onboard to Blizzard as a fixer to get D4 shipped. And he might know how to talk to shareholders but he kinda sucks with players. I’m curious how long he will hang on until Activision/Microsoft “find” another game to have him help with

I think studios also do this to let new developers get adjusted to the game so they are more familiar with it when making a sequel.

I mean, Apple supports this particular right to repair bill, so

rip Westwood Studios

The issue here is that Embracer apparently assumed they were getting an additional $2 Billion from the Saudi investment group and spent the money before they had it. From our point of view heads should roll at the top of Embracer for a poor business decision like that. But I bet they are making money for the C-suite…
