Maybe Wilds will be a launch game and Nintendo anticipated the release to capitalise on it? Dunno, just playing devil’s advocate.

- Comment on Ex-Annapurna Video-Game Staff to Absorb Former Take-Two Indie Label 1 week ago:
Several people who have worked for Naughty Dog say Druckmann and Straley stopped seeing eye-to-eye with Hennig, and that they had fundamental disagreements on where to take the Uncharted series. When Hennig left, she signed a non-disparagement agreement with the studio that would prevent both her and Naughty Dog from making negative public comments about what had happened, according to people familiar with the arrangement.
From “blood, sweat and pixels” which I own. I guess Schreier is also an unreliable source…
You reply like the typical reddit chud: Find something to latch on to, ignore the wider message, ad hominem, leave feeling victorious. Use vote manipulation to feel good about their chud selves with fake internet points.
At the end of the day, Mr woke Druckman doesn’t care for equality, if he did, he wouldn’t hire slavers.

Druckman hiring a lot overseas to cheapen asset production
DEI for Americans but not if you’re from overseas. Only US BIPOC count, the rest are shithole fodder.
Tax credits from WOTC are quite steep and consultancy can be offset in the R&D tax credit. That’s before mentioning local state incentives.
- Comment on Ex-Annapurna Video-Game Staff to Absorb Former Take-Two Indie Label 1 week ago:
Studios are subcontracting so much shit nowadays that I’m more interested in seeing what comes out of non AAA outfits than anything else. US games are mostly shit presently, the lion’s share of the work is done by low income workers and the peeps stateside get all the money and easy well paid consultant gigs and just enough to cash in on the DEI state subsidies and gov support. It’s absolutely 0 surprise the games are shit, it’s basically sweatshop game making. The funny part is Neil Druckman playing the saviour super woke evolved writer (after stepping on Hennig) but then subcontracts sweatshop work to make his assets. You couldn’t make this shit up.
- Comment on From Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid V will turn 10 in 2025, believe it or not 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it’s totally normal for AAA (and Ubi AAAA) games to enter early access before full release to finance development post ACT I… Yes, BG3 is totally a AAA game and Larian a AAA studio… FML!
- Comment on From Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid V will turn 10 in 2025, believe it or not 2 weeks ago:
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a AA game from Larian, a Belgian developer which is private and not a public company traded in the stock market.

It’s significant because in those 10 short years, a significant portion of the talent left the industry for greener pastures. When you mix genius level IQ people, definitely in the spectrum, with corporate types pushing line go up mentality and career drones using thought police tactics to progress theulir careers, while having 0 creativity, you get the current brand of AAA games from Western developers, aka, trash. They are more worried with the game’s response on xitter than if the game is fun…

Holy shit gaming outlets are really desperate for clicks. How, just how are these people betger paid than garbage collection crews or entry level nurses. We need to make it impossible to make a living wage creating click and ragebait. Just mandate adblocking by default in all browsers, ffs.

- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong producer on The Game Awards top prize snub: "I came all the way here for nothing!" 4 weeks ago:
This is based on a shit article from the shitrag “TheGamer” that calls 500 players downvoting a game a movement. There’s 1,4B people in China, 500 votes don’t even register. TheGamer is a clickbait/ragebait shitrag that weaponises xenophobia/culture wars/ignorace to generate traffic. They are the precise example of the enshitification of the Internet. Veritable parasites.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 5 weeks ago:
I’m happy to lobby for the balatro dev once he posts on a federated media (real fed, not bluesky).
Personally, I don’t care if balatro is popular here, the pegi 18 rating will impact sales 0%. Also, FC24s gambling should be banned EU wide or the rating of the game should be upped to 18+. Better yet, we should use this Balatro slip up from PEGI to get FC24s rating to be revised to 18+

- Comment on Outer Worlds 2 no longer exclusive to Xbox, is now coming to PS5 – WGB 5 weeks ago:
SoNy BaD.
Dude, MS has been dumping and killing the value of games so much, the entire industry is shifting to free to play live service. MS single-handedly ruined the past 10y of the games industry with their push to remove physical ownership and move everything to the cloud so they can double dip with Azure and Xbox. Furthermore they are responsible for the introduction of pay to play online and on Xbox you had to pay to play F2P games online until recently. Sony are greedy cunts but MS is not even on the same level of evil, they are pure distilled cancer and thanks to them the 2nd hand industry for game copies is struggling, everyone went live service because full price game sales went to shit thanks to gamepass (which is still not profitable) and now they have orchestrated a coup to kill Ubi so they can buy it the same way they did with Nokia. FWIW, the whole PSN debacle started with the sanctions on Russia.

Well, this is disappointing, is this the best you can muster? A “no u”? I guess you’re part of the Eurogamer readership after all. Don’t forget to take your meds. Have a great weekend, Bobo.

Thank you, appreciate your compliment, It’s a pleasure to be a source of entertainment. I used to train chimps, perhaps that’s where my talent to amuse primates derives from. Always nice to feel appreciated, thanks stranger.

Thank you so much for your concern and apologies in advance. Im well aware I need to work on dumbing down my writing to be accessible to everyone. Sorry for my ableism, I promise to work on myself to be more inclusive. Again, apologies if I made your head hurt, that was not at all my intention. I hope you have a splendid weekend.

- Comment on What do we think will be GoTY and which game do we think should be? 1 month ago:
I’ll buy the game in a year when most game breaking bugs have been corrected. I’m a fan of GSC and own the three prior games. My favorite is Call of Pripyat, it was so revolutionary that I was able to identify pripyat in film. I love these games. That said, that whole “Russian campaign” to discredit S2 is complete and utter BS. As soon as you start digging there’s literally no credible source for that info. It was a clever marketing ploy, good on them. It still doesn’t make the bugs not exist and the fact they sold their souls to MS and had to release a broken game because Ms likely refused to concede any further extensions is the real news there, but, of course, the marketing machine had to redirect from the fact MS is to blame for the state the game released in. The head of GSC tweeted the could not further delay the game. Anyone can read between the lines. Fuck MS.
