Ridiculous, but depressingly unsurprising.

Honestly, perfectly understandable that she would want to quit. Tons of content creators burn out after making the same type of thing day in and day out. Walking away when it's not fun anymore is better than sticking with something that makes you miserable.

Why is it live action? Why does Jason Momoa look like an extra from the Barbie movie? Why does this exist? Just why?

Two weeks? That's got to be a record for the shortest amount of time it took for a live service game to completely crash and burn.

"We have looked at these difficult economic times and decided to make them more difficult for our employees by firing them all." Nice. Always a great move. Also, I don't see how they can say with a straight face that none of their ongoing projects or releases are going to be impacted by laying off the entire team. Even if they are just a publisher firing everyone and "restructuring" the company is going to have some kind of impact.

I had genuinely forgotten about the sequel until I saw this. Started wondering how I had missed that and then I remembered it was a straight to streaming cash grab. Time to go back to being blissfully ignorant.

Because the games are good? Does their need to be a deeper reason then that? I mean, I guess a boom in retro games among Gen Z and younger says something about the state of the modern industry, but younger generations have always liked older things despite entertainment industries trying to push them towards the shiny and new. Still definitely nice to see though.

Hopefully this showcase is successful enough to become a tradition. It would be nice to have an indie-focused showcase that doesn't have to juggle their time between the games, advertisements, and sponsors.

I'm really tired of politicians who barely understand the internet trying to write sweeping legislation to regulate it.

The microtransactions are bad enough, but the fact that none of these were present in the build given to reviewers just makes it worse. I mean people would still be complaining about them, but I don't think the backlash would be as bad if Capcom had made it clear from the start that the game was going to be riddled with microtransactions.

The thing that gets me about this is that it's always some nefarious outside group pressuring devs to make their games "woke" or whatever. It never seems to occur to these people that the people making the games might actually hold those beliefs and aren't being forced to put them in games at gunpoint. Also, did the guy complaining about Ragnarok play GoW 2018? The fact that Kratos isn't the same person he was in the old series is basically the entire point.

So experimental I didn't even know Google had a Pinterest-like social media platform.
