...and I wonder who put the requirement for continuous monetization into the development cycle?

Have you ever been in an executive board meeting? I have—admittedly, for a hospital—several times, and I can tell you that decisions of that nature always come down from the top, rather than from the line.

Ah, but without the capacity to generate continuous revenue streams, even these sell-through numbers may not be enough to convince EA that investing in further titles of this nature would be a good idea.

Remember, it’s important to continuously monetize content; executives designed the first rule of that god-awful PUA…

The DCCC keeps marginalizing popular progressive ideas as a “litmus test” when their only necessary qualification is a big check book.

So, you’re a big supporter of Clarence Thomas then?

People are not inherently more worthy of support than others because of their race, particularly in a primary, which is the stage in the electoral process where the people get to choose who they want to run in a general election based on the issues at play.

So we’re going to fuck up the midterms, right?

Just one? I am jealous. The owner of my company had a 6" wide Trump banner out front and just about everyone here voted for the fucker. Makes work conversations... delicate. And hell, I am not even a Democrat.

Hopefully he dies of loneliness in Galt’s Gulch.

I just hope 8 months of HYPE doesn’t lead to people sitting at home in November thinking all is fixed, and they don’t need to vote because everyone else is, or that the problem children like Ryan are gone. It would be our MO as Americans and Democrats

The climb can always be more difficult, and I’m 100% supportive of the GOP greasing the pole themselves.

E. Gearing up for a 2020 run. Why is no one talking about that?

lol

It’s cute that this is what broke their confidence. They were already on track to lose the House. Ryan retiring may be bad optics, but it’s not like they were in a good position before his announcement.

Can you just imagine if tomorrow we find out the next person Mueller subpoenas is Paul Ryan?

Eh...I know the whole Nehlen thing got a lot of press recently, but the GOP still has time to anoint some Rotarian butthole to win the primary. Once the primary is competitive, whoever Ryan eventually endorses will probably have a big leg up, and due to the demographics of the joint, that person will give Iron Stache…

Yes.

Little Paulie is rich now. Fuck everyone else, he can now live the Ayn Rand dream.

I’m going to go bold here and go with E: All of the above.

I have a Trumper co-worker that I interact with on a regular basis. We know each other’s politics so for the most part we keep things professional and it works, but we have occasionally engaged in some heated discussion about our differences in opinion.

Random quiz time! Is Ryan retiring because:
