Name one major acquisition where their closet competitor didn’t try and scare regulators from approval. I’ll donate $100 to the charity of your choice.

I have a feeling the institutional investors who are on every earnings call know full well how strong Sony is in gaming and would like to keep it that way. They follow the money not fanboy whims.

They are a company saying whatever they can to get regulators on their side aka doing their due diligence for shareholders. To do anything else would be weird.

We aren’t an oppressed class. Everything will be ok. Now I will empty the dishwasher and my wife will praise me for it. Don’t mess this up for us.

Are you saying this article should not have been written because it didn’t blow your mind with a huge suprise or that the tone should have been an apathetic whatever like a surly teenager? Unlike yourself I have never seen a spy balloon selfie so it was a fun read.

While the sub hit may have been minor losing an army of content creators was gonna be their ultimate downfall. I used to have to twist peoples arms to get them to try D&D back in the day but they have made it more appealing to a general audience. If they all moved to other games the slow attrition would have killed…

I think it’s criticizing the clout chasing as if it makes the racism less horrible or balances it out that is the problem.

No. Helping people is bad. Blind should stay blind and earthquake victims should just die. No amount of “good” makes up for the cringe of clout chasing.

Execution. There are a million stories about soldiers in war, doctors saving lives, detectives detectiving etc. Cream rises to the top.

They are only raising money for clout. Have we learned nothing from the Mr. Beast fiasco?! We see your narcissism and ask you to stop helping.

She did the best she could with the script they gave her. If this game manages a sequel I’m sure Frey will learn to read a room finally.

I used to to be snarky too. The picture is so wholesome that it veers right into shittalk territory. That was before I realized you only play bots in this game.

I agree we need to learn to live with it. Difference is the industrial revolution led to a rise in service jobs. Once AI makes service jobs obsolete where is everyone gonna go? You only need so many software devs. Once AI reches near human level what jobs are uniquely human that only we can do? Even sex work will be…

I wonder how this will all end. Soon the AI will be so good that hiring animators will look like charity and the money will really stop flowing. I know the hope is copyright law saves us but the corporations can get it changed if they need to.

I agree the answer is yes but does anyone actually sub to all these services at once? I maintain a constant sub to Netflix but everything I sub to as needed for a month to watch something specific. More like a rental service.

Every election cycle we vote against our own best interests with no end in sight. In this environment I will take clout-chasing philanthropy over people who only contribution to society is twitter jokes. Mr. Beast did not create the system and he can;t undo it. Only we can but we wont.

Maybe a pressure thing? Like a big time producer pressuring actors to campaign for their project under implied threat that they won’t get cast in their next oscar bait film or franchise. In this case seems like friends helping a friend but I can see how an evil version could turn into a big arms race.

A lot of games that look meh come out every year. This game inspired a level of hate beyond normal gamer trash talk.

This game wasn’t crowdfunded and you could not pre-order it. The only people they were scamming were investors and maybe the Russian tax authorities. I’m ok with that.

I wanted this game to be good soooooo bad. The dialogue was worth dunking on but this game received amplified hate beyond it’s offence due to the MC being a black woman. Still looks like there is fun to be had but not at $70. Luckily for me the price should drop quickly and any other studio who was doing a Whedon…
