It’s engineered to benefit the vehicle manufacturer most, not the final consumer. Like you implied, many of the goals of the manufacturer directly are bad for the consumer.

Nothing about this comment makes sense.

It’s genuinely impressive that Jimmy Kimmel is still relevant after hosting The Man Show in the 90s with Adam Corolla. I don’t voice this thought often enough.

Bolding NOT mine, it’s that way on the Cameo site:

Kimmel is one notch above Santos on the scum bag ladder.

I don’t get why Kimmel gives someone like Santos any kind of platform. Let him fuck around for his famous 15 minutes and then be forgotten, instead highlighting him on shows and at worst even give more money to him.

People like him should be forgotten and not given the spotlight they so much want. And we know that he…

So does he have a case? Can a cameo be used in a commercial broadcast without permission from person appearing in tbe cameo? Not like I expect the AV Club to do any heavy lifting on this or any other topic, but maybe someone read a better article somewhere else and knows the answer.

I am not a lawyer but I play one on the Internet and it seems like Santos might have a case if the videos were licensed for non-commercial use only. (I never used Cameo but apparently they have distinct personal and business services.) That Kimmel joked about being sued could be considered an indication that he knew…

Indirectly, to keep the movie rights for Spider-Man.

I don’t know, seems like Dakota Johnson seems like the perfect choice for projects like these. Case in point: 50 Shades Trilogy. All you need a photogenic recognizable name who will soldier through an awful script and only seem vaguely embarrassed to be there. She’s your go-to when you’re trying to spin hot garbage…

I mean they’re making money I would think not to mention being in a a real marvel production doesn’t mean you’ll be in a well received one either.

It’s a massive and incredibly complex RPG that does far more right than it does wrong. That’s why people were willing to overlook the bugs and polish issues.

It is a MASSIVE game. The odds of it not having issues at launch were slim.

“thousands of issues”

I first played it back when it came out for PC in August and while act 3 was notably laggier and sometimes there would be odd pauses in battles or weird quality of life issues, even back then I wouldn’t have described it as broken or unfinished. And subsequent patches seem to have no only resolved things but refined…

I have a couple hundred hours into this game now and may have encountered one “game breaking” bug that required me to go back to the latest autosave. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, plenty of people like you attest that it does and I have no reason to doubt it. Of your points the only part I personally experienced…

So what?

I’ve played it five times, including runs on both Tactician and Honour mode. I played it at launch, and then through several patches. Other than some performance issues that were resolved over time, and a brief save bug that required waiting for a patch to access recent saves, I never encountered any game breaking…

They don’t have Blade, no. Marvel has those rights, they bought them back from New Line Cinema; Sony never had them. Spawn was also New Line Cinema, and I think the rights were always still held by Todd McFarlane. Again, nothing to do with Sony.

Not that Suicide Squad ever seemed like a very good idea, but a year wouldn’t have been nearly enough time to course correct away from their live service model.
