Bungie had always been a Mac first, PC/console later game dev up to that point.

It wouldn’t be the first product that started advertising the concept art as the finished product.

I stopped buying anime when they bought up all the major NA distributors.

You underestimate my level of cynicism at this point. You also underestimate my disrespect for the average gamer. If they’re not lapping up one form of propaganda, they’re lapping up another.

I’m not sure how much I should care. I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game in decades anyway. They don’t make anything I need, so it’s not like it’s an inconvenience to boycott.

Ubisoft better get comfortable with not owning their own company.

Marathon (1994) has several call outs to the player when the AI giving you mission briefing calls the PC out for not caring and just wanting to shoot things. There’s a lot of meta commentary in that series.

I stopped playing TF2 when I kept getting popups about having too many unopened loot crates or some shit.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures.

They had a reputation for buying better companies to own the IPs and gutting the teams before the late 2000s. It’s sort of cathartic seeing that happen to them now, but not really because all the shitheels who made those decisions will probably be getting a nice payout while the actually workers will just get kicked to the curb.

They’ve never made good games. They sometimes allowed one of their devs to make a good game when they weren’t looking, but no one is perfect.

At least he didn’t punch anyone this time.

I’ve put Mint on 2012 and 2013 MacBook Pros and never had issues like that. What hardware and distro are you using?

I once swore infront a bunch of other adults in a non-work, but professional setting and someone stopped me to point it out. I paused, looked around for any kids and when I didn’t see any, pointed out it was fine. They were on the conservative side, but I’m not bending at the knee for that shit.

Must have slipped through the cracks.

Most of those devs are probably freelancers or from hired studios doing esoteric work. It’s still crazy to see these numbers when most of the games I play are indie and have tiny credit listings. 450 people could make at least ten of the games I play.

Here’s something. No way of knowing which games they’ll go after next.

They were always going to go after every 18+ game and then every queer game under the guise that it’s corrupting to youth. The fact that you’re confused about that is part of their plan.
