Sounds like the developers were just too lazy to implement consequences for the players’ actions which fit the setting. Instead they have a designer give one of the cheapest responses I’ve ever seen about “role-playing” as though the entire point of role playing wasn’t that your choices have consequences.

The person who said that has never played a role playing game in their life.

There are tons of franchises with good-to-decent people in charge of them. The problem is that “creator of TV show is actually a pretty nice person” is not an interesting news story, so anytime you hear something about the character of a creative person, it’s negative.

It’s been five years since Roiland had a writing credit on the show (his last episode was “Morty’s Mindblowers” from season 3) so I don’t think he was contributing to the creative side of things all that much anymore, aside from ad-libbing dialogue.

“Aw geez, Rick, this cancel culture stuff sure is out of control these days, huh? It’s getting so you can’t even beat and imprison a woman anymore. Like you used to, you used to uh, you know you used to be able to hit on 13 year old girls on the internet and no one made a big deal about it. And these days? Everyone…

Sony doesn’t have the legal right to prevent Spidey from appearing on other platforms, but I think they recognize that people connect him with the Playstation to an extent, so they made financial offers to the publishers of various Marvel games to keep that brand association going. Looks like only Square-Enix took the…

They put all the effort into him one would expect from a character who 2/3rds of the playerbase can’t even use.

This list sounds like someone made it up, especially given that Winter Soldier and Black Panther have been in the game for months, and Hulkbuster isn’t a character at all (it’s a special armor for Iron Man, which he can already use in the game.)

There were three Marvel movies this year and together they made $2.5 billion. The lowest-grossing of the bunch still ended up with the 8th biggest box office of the year.

Man, the Scooby animators really just weren’t feeling it that day, huh?

If they don’t even have to be Disney movies, then let’s just go ham. The best Disney movie of all time is Goodfellas. Remember the scene where Joe Pesci walks into a room thinking he’s about to become a made man, and instead a dude just shoots him dead as payback for something he did in the first act that he’d…

“My work is done here” said Hastings after cancelling every Netflix show that wasn’t Big Mouth or Stranger Things. “Now I’m off to find new frontiers to cancel. Legend says that somewhere out there, they’re working on the greatest TV show of all time. A program of such unbelievable quality that grown men will weep at…

Oops we spent too much money buying video game studios and forgot to make that money back by selling video games. Guess we’ll just have to fire everybody at the studios we just bought. The industry is so lucky to have us.

Who the hell do those ads even work on? Who goes, “Gee, I was just here to look up the name of an obscure Marvel character but sure, I’ll drop everything and watch this 7 minute unrelated auto-playing video listing the top five most cringe Star Wars droid fails.”

Yeah, the idea that the Fed is “manufacturing a recession” is libertarian horseshit. The Fed has been trying to tamp down inflation WITHOUT triggering a recession, which is a delicate balancing act, and they may very well screw it up. But so far it has worked, and we’ve even gotten some very strong economic indicators…

Gotta love the optics of a rich executive whining about “cancel culture” 24 hours before cancelling the jobs of 10,000 people.

So? Is JK Rowling entitled to everyone’s $70 now? Do people no longer have the right to refuse to buy a product or else it counts as “cancelling?”

The only time when devs were “semi-anonymous” was back in very early days of the industry when game publishers forbade devs from taking credit for their work, and developers hated that situation so much that they began sneaking their names into the games without their bosses’ knowledge, which is where the first Easter…

I’m willing to bet that the movie is the reason behind this whole mess. Someone at Hasbro thought “oh shit, a lot of people are going to get into D&D because of the movie. WE NEED TO EXPLOIT THEM!” and came up with this terrible new OGL which has now tanked the franchise’s reputation, and ironically might tank the…

I don’t even know if this is a Brony thing, or just the unfortunate fact that almost every Hasbro movie is remarkably terrible* except for the two recent My Little Pony movies, which are both great (they’re also the only ones made by the creative team of the original show they’re based on, which probably has a lot to…
