Brown not getting the money, he was due, is because of Brown, and Brown alone.

No, you couldn’t be more wrong. Dipshits like me and you should not get to demand directors change their movies. 

“The only ‘collective consciousness’ here is a [small but vocal] fanbase who knows what [they can and can’t ‘bate to]”

it sounds, based on the comment, that the people who were fired were not those responsible for the actual design, you goddamned melon

Yeah, I’m sorry for that, I didn’t expect they were literally going to actually redesign the whole character because of the reaction online.

Customer feedback has to be seen through a filter. They do not always understand what they want or need with respect to the product being created, and it’s easy to have a vocal minority sound like they are representative of a broader opinion.

I think in this specific case, the redesign is the right move, but in general, I don’t think he’s very wrong here (And of course, it’s a project he’s a part of, so there’s some attachment as well).

Multiple people got fired for this. That’s all you need to know about whether or not it was a good idea. A friend of mine worked on the VFX, and they said whole teams had to be fired to accommodate for budget loss on the amount of work a redesign would take. So watch what you rage against, internet. Devoting yourself…

There were a number of people demanding that Wolverine wear yellow spandex in live-action X-Men movies. I agree with Jim Carrey.

I thought Carrey was going to go off on one of his trademark batshit insane rambling tangents, but he has a very valid point here. There are many franchises that would be ruined beyond repair if the creators let fan response dictate creative decisions.

Is that....is that a Contact reference? Star for you

Trout’s deal will be in the $40M/year range. Even with the soft collusion happening between teams, Trout’s talent and production are so clearly ahead of everyone else that one team will break ranks and just throw the checkbook at him.

I confess! I’m one of those weirdos who liked Terminator Salvation. It was still better than 3.

I don’t know why I was surprised Linda Hamilton looks amazing and FIT for once again playing SC but daaaaaaaamn

Aaaannnnnd it looks exactly the same. They should just go ahead and call it NBA Playgrounds 2019.

I’m incredibly grateful that companies like Naughty Dog, Atlus, Square Enix, 2K Games and Bethesda still make games that a grumpy asshole like myself can enjoy.

37 year old gamer here, and my backlog still seems to get bigger and bigger. I guess it helps that I don’t care much for CoD, I just have too much else to play.

Ketamine has more dissociative side effects so it can be a bit of a wild ride, it’s just cheaper which keeps it on the UN basic pharmacology list.

If true then that is one less game I have to worry about. Their loss since I only play the single player.

Not to mention I am not going to pay the same price I did previous versions, for less content. That is just bad practice.

That’s good, actually. Now I’ll be able to finally stop buying it to try it and hope that it’s better. Haven’t played multiplayer since Black Ops 1 anyway.
