“Maximizing shareholder value” is the biggest turd of corporate speak. As Boeing can attest, it means delivering short-term gains for stockholders (and bonuses for the exec team) at the expense of the company’s long-term health.

Who could have possibly seen this coming!? Expanding at an unprecedented rate has never gone poorly ever, especially when you don’t even have the funds in hand to do so. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

The reality is that there simply aren’t any women in the games industry whose names carry the same recognition as the men’s. There’s no female equivalent to Hideo Kojima or Warren Spector or Cliffy B or John Carmack or Phil Spencer or Todd Howard or Peter Molyneux or Sid Meier or Tim Sweeney or Will Wright or Gabe…

Starfield was not ghosted, it wasn't deserving. 

Look, I don’t want to be annoying about it, but RE4 has no business being up for game of the year. It’s a fantastic facelife, but it isn’t a new game. The same goes for Deadspace (which, FWIW, I think was always a more interesting action horror game than RE4), and I’m glad that one didn’t get nominated.

Starfield honestly lacked the charm of skyrim or fallout. I think it was mainly an issue in how you traveled. It was all insta-teleport which removed most of the exploration wonder that it could have been.

Stop playing freemium games. They are all about exploiting you. 

Having lived in The Netherlands for the past 17 years (Stephanie is Dutch) I can say that they have a really laid back attitude when it comes to sex and sexualization of fictional characters.  I honestly think Quiet’s design really didn’t bother her.  

I can’t believe we’re still talking about this subject in the year 2023 lol. Seriously, just admit you were horny and wanted to design a sexy lady in a skimpy outfit, it doesn’t need to be that fuckin deep.

She’s a working actor. She’s not going to bite the hand that feeds her in an interview, and folks shouldn’t expect her to.

My bad, honestly had no idea they made one.

If what another posted said is true, that the XIM design uses a native controller anyways, then this will do nothing to stop its proliferation.

These companies, by law, must meet the unending demand of exponentially increasing profits margins, no matter what.

I know AI is “the devil” around here but company using software like it to help them craft a letter in a language that is not their native tongue is kinda whats its meant to do and its not a terrible thing

Maybe I am just having a bad day, but this just strikes me as sick AF. Fuck Shell, IGN and those streamers and I am glad that people are pushing back.

This is emphatically not true. SNES games regularly cost $70 in the early 90s. There were some $50 titles from the beginning, but $60 has been the standard price since well before the 360, and it was in fact significantly more common to exceed that price before that. It was only around then that everything started to…

Because he’s was (and is) doing exactly what the people who make that decision want him to do.

None of this matters when runtime tracking is still a technical impossibility, and any attempted implementation of something even LIKE runtime tracking directly violates international privacy laws. Whatever idiot refuses to let this concept die is effectively begging for the EU to sue and fine them into bankruptcy.…

I predict a classic tactic used in business, politics and negotiations. You want $50 but your target will be incensed, angry that you’re asking for it. So instead you ask for $500, you incur a little wrath then say “Ok, how about $50?”. Your target says “Whew, ok $50 isn’t so bad” when in truth, the $50 would’ve been…
