Those are the monthly games that have been a feature forever. So yes.

No one said anything of the sort. Avoid the straw man. 

I mean... sure. This could be a valid criticism but.... why does it seem like this site is always so negative? Can’t a game just be good and well received without some sort of complaint tour?

I’ll blame the engine and I’m sure I’ll be at least on the right track. This is the studio that needed to put a train car on an NPCs head to make a subway work.

What a strange thing to get upset about.

My point is consolidation is bad regardless of who does it and why. There is no worse because it's all a death sentence for competition and choice. 

Well yeah, the minutia is different but the other claim was that it’s different when one type of company buys developer. I disagree. It's bad across the board, no matter who is buying who. 

It’s not a major difference. I wouldn't even say it's a meaningful difference

I’m not the one with a comprehension issue bud. The article and others are saying the game should have developed the theme of slavery more. That should only be the case if the game was even supposed to about slavery. Which it is not. 

There is a difference between engaging critically and trying to force the story to be something it isn’t.

Obviously not so in the context of FFXVI.

Political corruption, religious control, and oppression through power imbalance

Its less surprising that they are leaving than it is that so many of them stayed so long in the first place

It wasn't central, it was more of a macguffin. 

Whew, how do you not burn out? That would try my brain

No, that’s how hyperbole works. The game, as a whole, isn’t defined by this one theme, nor is it a theme that is central to the game.

No it doesn't. That theme does, maybe. But the game itself isn't somehow worse because they didn't dig as deep as you would have liked. 

That’s pretty much what they said. The plan was always to release on both. This just gets it out sooner. 

This is an issue that will only grow as development for the X and 5 gets easier.

That’s some steller protection you've got there Rockstar
