Yes.

Games like these are just chasing the profits that mobile games now make, there’s not stopping it, just avoiding it where possible.

By “america” do you mean “multiple Asian and European countries” since places like Japan, Belgium, and the Netherlands have all defined loot boxes and gacha mechanics as gambling that needs to be regulated?

If that’s true, how did Rich write An American Pickle without his involvement?

Bummed we didn’t get a Conan episode but glad we’re getting Last Week Tonight back. 

Well, considering actual medical studies have proven that male circumcision reducing sensitivity is a myth and that it has religious and cultural significance in Jewish, Islamic, and many non-Western cultures (and it is more prominent in Africa and the Middle East than either the US or Canada), I’d say you not…

Narrator: He is.

Yes, in one of the canon Thrawn books (Thrawn: Alliances if I remember correctly) he pretty much figures out the Vader is Anakin almost immediately after meeting him.

If you’re having actual trouble with making money in a Bethesda game, you’re not playing it right.

I mean if your definition of “fresh and new” is “What if we do the Tusken Raider ambush but the hero wins the fight?” and “What if we did Ewoks but as Crabs?” then yeah, it was completely fresh and new.

There would be fewer death threats for sure, but if that movie’s cast instead contained ones of the Chrises, Paul Rudd, Jack Black and Kevin Hart but kept the same scenes, story, and special effects, it would also still be absolute garbage.

It always amuses me just how much internet writers and twitter X underestimate how much most people absolutely do not care about being required to hate something because Mel Gibson is in it.

Remember when people complained that the old Star Wars EU had gotten too crazy and didn’t make any logical sense anymore?

Yeah, Sony really needs the help, they’ve been struggling to consistently beat this massive company for the last *check notes* 21 years.

That’s ridiculous.

Eh, not really. Most Final Fantasy games since VII were launched exclusively on Playstation (XIII and XV were the only non-MMO games that had a multi-platform launch) and sales on Xbox for FF (and in general RPGs made in Japan) have never been huge.

By “new villain” do you mean the same exact villain that was a secondary antagonist in the first movie?

To be fair, MTV is no longer for music videos either.
