Huge difference between developing a studio and franchises when compared to just buying them up and making them exclusive. Especially when you're talking some of the biggest franchises in the world. Which TES and CoD are examples of, being genre defining franchises for well over a decade.

No. Closest was getting the FF exclusivity deal after Square got fed up w/ Nintendo, that in the 90s. And they didn't buy the series, Square just took a new exclusivity deal.

“Which version would you like to install?:

Simply not true. I got MSI’s 1070 Gaming Z, their best 1070 card that generation, for $429 a month after launch. That, an i7 6700k, Asus Maximus Hero mobo, 32gb of 3200mhz ram, a gold EVGA 850w psu, a Seagate 7200 rpm 1tb hdd and a 500gb Samsung 850 Pro and an Artic Liquid Freezer I cost me less than you paid and were…

Gamepass isn’t their primary business. Certain people want to paint it as such, but it’s bleeding money. They chose to try to follow the Netflix model, ignoring Netflix is currently burning projected profits for several years into the future. MS did the same and more w/ their acquisitions. What happened is akin to…

If anyone wants someone to make stuff up or blow things out of proportion they need look no further than the comments section.

Unfortunate necessity these days. Certain people will try to cancel you simply for not supporting someone. Or speaking in support of someone. Or not firing someone when they were accused of something w/o any evidence. Or not firing someone when there is a ton of evidence.

It would make sense in, say, a theater in GTA to advertise movies. The screens in the Spider-Man games in New York. There’s a proper way to do this.

You’re conflating ‘long’ with a repetitive grind. While the gameplay loop is initially fun and rewarding, it’s repeated so many times that the ‘reward’ itself becomes a grind. That’s the problem of creating formulaic entertainment. You admit this yourself. Yet you write as if a long game can only exist if it’s nothing…

See a whole heck of a lot of people basically crying ‘Progressives can’t be evil! This show sucks now!’ Stop it. Get help. Politics aren’t life.

No, not every ban has a reason behind it. I’ll put something, anything on and play something or clean, w/e. I’ve been banned while doing this. So what was the offense when I was 30' from my keyboard?

Can anyone explain to me why its so hard to properly spell rogue? I’d assume typo, but it seems like 80-90% of people. Rouge, a color. Rogue, a chaotic person or character that follows their own rules or is out to achieve their own goals, even at others expense.

It clearly does.

Precisely. There are numerous infrastucture jobs which are continuing on as if nothing else is happening. Many of which deal w/ no less ‘crunch’ than Jason keeps bemoaning developers deal with. And many of those are forced to endure even more hours now bc of the additional hurdles caused by the virus.

Cept in those days there wasn’t an obvious nerf bat cocked to knock this weapon to ‘better than most.’ There also wasn’t a way to transfer that to other players.

It’s a word that has a specific context. That context can apply to anything, including people, regardless of race. I’m NA. The word long predates European colonization of the US.

It’s not uncommon for games especially to store frequently loaded data in a devices RAM. Then the only way to get it to dump that data is a reboot. Skyrim and Titanfall would both do this on the ps3 and 360, as well as preload some assets on the hdd. This is why only those two games saw a discernable improvement on a…

Basically, it sounds like some small studios were getting their games onto Steam and then selling access codes to avoid paying Valve. For context; A land lord might be willing to work with an individual tennant in a dire financial situation, but not when 900 others are making the same claim and a large number are…

“Honestly, if anyone is going to try and discuss what happened with Semenya it should be another Black intersex woman, not two cis white guys, but they did and now we’re here with this episode.”

I downloaded the driver update and saw these issues in other games, so rolled it back. First noticed in The Outer Worlds, then Borderlands 3 and even Diablo 3. Got pissed, started watching Youtube and noticed the videos freezing. That's when I finally rolled it back.
