If you wonder why public companies with billions in revenue can't make a Steam competitor is because they can't think long term, being a private company allows Valve to just work on what they want and grow If they need to

Great speech, would have taken less than 90 seconds. Thanks Devs and fans, mourns losses, praises competition, games are art.

If the entire holy land was nuked and radioactive, people would still try to occupy the wasteland so they could get back in first. Don't think there is a solution

AI has been replacing the board members and now has control of the company

After Mando and the MCU, I thought they'd go in the direction where you create different genres set in the Sta Wars universe, instead every genre is a Saturday morning cartoon.

Mandolorian - Western with a villain of the season and the wanderer goes to a new planet/sector

Andor - Gritty spy/war drama

Police Procedural - A Jedi solves crimes in local town while in hiding

Book of Boba Fett -mob crime show like breaking bad, sopranos

Rom Com - An ex storm trooper and a rebel fall in love

Sitcom - the office but set in a moisture farm

Heist - like Leverage with a bunch of criminals

Horror - A powerful Sith is hunting Jedi

Obi Wan - Slice of life, Ben the hermit does gardening and chores for the townsfolk, tries to fend off attraction for the local blue milk maids, sharpens his mind into razor sharp focus instead of swinging a baseball bat around. Uses wit and logic to solves problems

Shonen - basically the games but better

War - band of brothers but with rebels

Games are rated on a 7-10 scale though where 7 is mediocre and 8 is passable.

9 is good and 10 is great.

So between not completely unplayable and good enough is their score

I think Spyro was the first mainstream game to standardise achievements, you could do random stuff in-game and it gave you a little pop up, carried over to Ratchet and Clank and now every game has official achievements

Wasn't there a modern story about how Sisyphus got used to rolling the boulder and found joy in the nuances and being swole?

Is this like saying Gollum beat Kong?

Is it the Creation engine?

"No, you don't understand, game dev is hard"

Is it the Creation engine?

"Is not that simple! There are complexities abound!"

Is it the Creation engine?

"Yes..."

This is AI

But to get Shakespeare it was random, all the wars and plagues and volcanic eruptions and his ancestors moving around the country and him being born in a time where writing plays was a viable career

This is one of the most pointless games to remake, just play the original

I could have seen it as a Stardew valley-esque Hobbit farming Sim, you start with simple farming, interacting with lore accurate villagers, fishing, cave gathering as Smeagol.

Then after a certain point of the game in a quest you find the Ring and your memories start getting hazy and your farming skill starts deteriorating and your cave gathering skills improve and the Ring blanks out part of your days and suddenly you find Deagols body and get flashbacks to what happened.

In the epilogue you start your usual day in the cave 'bed' instead of your Hobbit hole bed and you go gathering and meet Bilbo. Then cut to black

They are going to get jumanjied aren't they?

Japan Airlines CEO took a salary of $1 during the downturn..but it's more of a Japan thing

Looks like fried gun or a giant prawn

Since I don't see it Return of the Obra Dinn is one of the best games ever made, and done by 1 guy

Why don't I fly unarmoured unarmed aircraft through a radar system with anti air weapons?

I think they may go the MCU way this time and start working up with D Listers. If you can make Blue Beetle or Lobo or whatever unknowns work in a good movie, the. You get half a decade before the big hitters reappear and are anticipated.

Just put the A team on the animated series who seem to be doing a better job
