Wonder if they regret having used that development time on Starfield instead of a new Fallout, because with this renewed interest due to the show a Fallout 5 would have done ridiculously well

And we have been paying for it ever since. They will never make that mistake again lol.

The idea of Valve ever becoming a public corp ranks higher in my lists of fears than being eaten alive by zombies

I wonder if I’ll be even worse in this one

orb dude doesn’t seem to be in it so that’s already a huge problem for me

I know that’s probably true but it sure as hell doesn’t feel like it aaaarrrgh

Fuck this game, it has damaged my psyche

The amount of times that I had like a 70% chance of drawing what I needed in the last discard alone and didn’t, or the amount of times that I had a beautiful synergized build and a boss that disables it appeared by “coincidence”, argh.

Yet I can’t stop playing it

excuse me they are scarlet rot swamps now, it’s a totally different thing

gives me time to get a character ready, also it’s not like there aren’t a gazillion good games to play right now, there’s no hurry

broadband? Isn’t this specifically about cable TV, not Internet communication?

a threat that doesn’t pass even the slightest sniff test, any significant raise in prices would leave them open for a competitor to undercut them.

Makes sense, it’s now or never probably. IGN is 100% a “content volume over content quality” type of company, the type that would replace a lot of the writing and editorial staff with AI as soon as it became a half-decent alternative. So might as well put pressure on them and exercise bargaining power to get some guarantees while you still have leverage and they still need you.

deserved, they had brutal expectations to live up to but somehow delivered

Music licensing shenanigans strike once again.

The evergreen digital market of today is just incompatible with the practices established back when stuff was sold in boxes and only expected to sell for 5-8 years, and every now and then we get a reminder of what happens when they don’t mesh.

Thankfully GoG was still selling it and discounted it massively to allow more people to preserve it.

We could have had the CoD take on those parts of For All Mankind?

And they cancelled it?

Are you kidding me?!

I think they got that from the youtube text transcription

poor proofchecking/proofreading on their part

In most cases, they hired and grew at an irresponsible rate in 2021-2022

Just compare the growth in employees in Microsoft in 2021-2022 compared to the 5 previous years or so

Of course, the employees are not to blame for that and should not pay for that, but that’s how they roll I guess…

throughout november and december 2023, and january 2024

if you had investments in the S&P500 that is

i like it, voodoo would be a great tag name for rehashes of a past generation that are resurrected to lazily fill a gap in pricing

They really need to create some more variant tags, only Super, Ti, and Super Ti, really? Where are Ultra, Legendary, and Co? As it is, they don’t have enough to cover every 5$ rung in pricing! Unacceptable!

is definitely “while” in the context of the interview
