Will the loser chud fucks walk back their bellyaching grifting about Elliot Page as Achilles now that it’s clear he nailed the role of Sinon…a completely different fucking character?

85% of console players are buying digital, 100% of mobile is digital, 99.5% of PC is digital. If people really gave a damn they've shown a strange way to show it for the last 2 decades. Folks really need to stop equating physical media with 'ownership' #sony #digital #disc

Well, good luck Burnham. You’re gunna need it. Everything you do will be wrong. Media will be against you from day one, while they pave the way for Reform only to ask the question, “how did we end up here?” without a fucking hint of self awareness.

Gaming discourse on reddit / bluesky in the last few days 4 days ago: People are losing their jobs!! thats more important than you liking a game or not!! Today: I am unfazed by the Claude Guillemot news because I don't like Ubisoft.

Perpetual consolidation is bad, but what do some people actually think will happen if some of these studios go indie? They're going to be letting staff go, reducing scope and trying to create something that has more than <100 concurrent players or doesn't take 6 years and $85M.

For all the self hype from PC native players you'd think games wouldn't be worried about releasing around GTA seeing as its not out on PC for another year or so... It's almost like PC is a secondary market in some respects #stateofplay

One thing lost in the Bungie/Sony disaster: that $1.2B retention fund was seemingly just golden handcuffs for senior equity holders. Execs hovered up the cash, waited out their vesting cliffs, and left rank-and-file staff to face mass layoffs. It was an exit strategy, not a rescue nor LTI. #destiny2

You know whats cool about GTA VI....its cost $0 to make. GTA V Online has been making anywhere from $150 million to $600 million a year for more than a decade. GTA V Online ALONE has more than covered the cost of development of GTA VI #gta #gta6 #gtavi

Trading Luka for conditioning issues? Luka averaged 33.9 points, 9.8 assists and 9.2 rebounds last year! He’s a future Hall of Famer, he DRAGGED the Mavs to the final so much so that when Kyrie or anyone else won a game it was a huge deal yet he did it day after day. And we let him go 🤡🤡🤡🤡
