If they want my time and patronage, they can learn how my community’s melanin distributes across our bodies. They can learn how to render coarse hair. They can broaden their character demographics beyond ‘what kyles are comfortable with’. Otherwise, they can fuck right off. And I haven’t seen many Eastern in general devs willing to even so much as try. Mihoyo and Square-Enix are both kinda on my shitlist right now.

And? PRISM’s been doing that for more than a decade now, and you never had an issue with that.

I can’t wait to watch your country collapse.

Just crackers being crackers; don’t even waste your breath on them.

But y’know, everyone who rightfully decried those fuckin things were just FUDing, right?

Guess not!

TBH battle royale racer was already F-Zero’s niche

While you’re technically correct, the literal last thing I wanted to hear when I heard ‘F-Zero news’, the literal bottom of the barrel, was a minimum viable product using 25 year old assets that deliberately plays follow-the-leader chasing genre trends that a romhacker could’ve made.

And like that, the Direct just lost any further steam I could’ve had for it.

[snort] well ACKSHUALLY–

man don’t no one give a fuck unless they’re already in sunk cost fallacy with that ‘genre’ and its predators

After Destiny, yup. The term’s become synonymous with “increasingly-higher wallet drain with increasingly diminished returns over time, and we’re still gonna need a fully-staffed cosmetic shop and battle pass to get the last couple dollars we didn’t hoover out of you with the season pass’s cost”.

Yeah, no. I already know my main’s not coming back; and I’m not about to humor devs who hacksaw off pieces of the full release to make DLC caches again.

We might only hope this regulatory body has more teeth than their Amerikan counterparts. Otherwise, these megacorps will just pay the fine-- which will no doubt be seen as little more than “the cost of ‘doing business’” for them.

♪ And if you try to fuck with me then I SHALL FU~UCK YOU TOO ♫

Nah correct. We need more Eragons in this era. Saphira might be my single favorite dragon in fiction.

See, hearing about this tells me that somewhere, they catastrophically fucked up; and this ‘non-human biologics’ nonsense is whole cloth to distract from it until proper spin can be applied to whatever catastrophically fucked.

Probably blood from a stone; but it does set a precedent at least.

Fuckin A, “Lifetime Achievement Award” is becoming real life way quicker than it was supposed to.

I don’t care who wins. I just need Kotick to lose.

I will forever be waiting on Starcraft Ghost.

And then the moment a union starts getting buck, out come the democrats with the freshly-oiled whips…
