- Comment on Embracer has reduced its workforce by over 1800 people in the past year 2 days ago:
Buddy, this isn’t the navy. The captain isn’t going down with the ship. As much as we would all want or hope for them to. If anything, them chopping their workforce down will be seen as them improving the value of the company. The investors are who they actually answer to. And they are going to want them to make them money before they pull out all their investments and crater all those studios.
- Comment on Did nightreign flop? 2 days ago:
It’s a niche game in an already niche genre. Sure, Elden Ring was the first one to crack into the mainstream. But seen as FromSoft somehow managed to sell Souls fans a network test disguised as a game I’d say even if it flipped it’d be a financial success for them.

As much as that blows, it does make sense. They bet everything on being bought out and when that fell through they were massively overextended.
- Comment on Nexus Mods' new owners promise they won't monetise the site to death as users panic at the whiff of venture capital 5 days ago:
Exactly! No venture capitalist has ever taken something that could be monetized but wasn’t, bought it out, and then proceeded to monetize it into irrelevancy before…

Translation: “Once all the hub-bub dies down we intend to as slowly as you’ll allow, slip in monetization.”

Honestly all this reads to me is “The people who made the BioWare games you liked left long ago, and the new people can’t hack it.”

I was on board right up until “You’re acting like Mom!” and all I could hear was some 30-something year old child still trying to tell about how it’s not a phase.
- Comment on As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG 1 week ago:
Absolutely. Sure Publishers want their cut, but it’s an agreement between Dev and pub. This just feels like Bungie blaming Acti-Blizz for all the things people didn’t like about Destiny.

I’m interested. I don’t preorder so kick-starting is also out.

I hope the demo comes to consoles as well I really want to try it out.
- Comment on This new game Jump Ship looks interesting 2 weeks ago:
That’s good to hear. Hopefully the demo makes it to consoles as well.
- Comment on This new game Jump Ship looks interesting 2 weeks ago:
From the videos I’ve seen I’m interested Unfortunately I’m only on XBSX so I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed that they bring it to consoles. They said that they are going to buy will be day and date or later on?

You really should.

Agreed.

Just for a bit of clarification I’m not talking about forcing them to do anything This is simply from a consumer standpoint, my wish I guess.
- Comment on Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends. 3 weeks ago:
I can understand what you’re saying with none of them needing sequels. Invaded that definition yeah sure none of them need them. But I would very much want a sequel to bastion and transistor. And if that puts me in the minority as far as that’s concerned I’m okay with that. I’m not going to boycott their team because they don’t make a sequel by any means.
- Comment on Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends. 3 weeks ago:
They’re obviously a developer that I would be interested in anything new that they put out. But both bastion and transistor were two of my all-time favorites from the indie scene. And I would really and truly love to revisit both of those worlds in a sequel.

And to be honest I had the same feeling when I played Hades. I felt more like I was dependent upon getting certain modifiers and weapons together otherwise I just was not going to make any progress. And I don’t think that’s a critique of the game itself it’s 100% in my abilities to play that sort of game. And from a personal taste standpoint my personal taste go towards bastion and transistor.

Devs, yes. Publishers, not so much.
- Comment on EA Cancels Black Panther Game, Closes Cliffhanger Games - IGN 3 weeks ago:
On the one hand I hate hearing about people losing their jobs. I dislike people not being able to have an opportunity to support themselves. On the other hand any and all trouble for EA makes me happy. I long for the day they have to sell off their studios and their CEO has to try and not be remembered as the guy that killed the golden goose for investor capitol.
It’s time that investors stop looking at video games as a get rich quick opportunity. And trying to turn it into the new cubicle farm. Sandfall and a lot of other smaller devs are proving that a small team of generalists are able to do better work than these huge and bloated monstrosities that EA and its kind have become.
Also they pretty much show with this and several other cancellations that they cannot fathom a business model that doesn’t rely on predator monetization.
- Comment on Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon | Review Thread 3 weeks ago:
I enjoyed that the game seemed to try and make it so that every play style felt equal. Stealth archer didn’t seem like “easy mode”. The visuals while not the peak of fidelity, were very interesting to look at. The world building drew me in quickly, and kept my attention. In the end it succeeded where a demo should, it made me want to get the game.

I played the demo a few weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised by it.

- Comment on The 'deprofessionalization of video games' was on full display at PAX East 5 weeks ago:
This just seems like a more subtle posturing for “games should cost more”. Video game customers are notoriously right with their wallets. The lockdown boom was a fluke, not a new norm.
- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 5 weeks ago:
I’m having a blast with it. It’s a break from the design ethos that was Doom Eternal. So if you’re looking for more Eternal you’ll be disappointed. This one wants you to play significantly more aggressively.
- Comment on Obsidian’s Avowed 2025 Roadmap Includes New Abilities, Weapons, New Game Plus, And More 5 weeks ago:
Well I’m almost 40 so not a young thing. I also have a pretty packed work week and it’s not a set schedule. The only difference between us is that gaming is my main hobby. I don’t follow any sportsball, and the only other hobbies are things like TTRPGs and building Legos or Gunpla. And it’s pretty common to judge something based on the contemporaries of what it is. You can like something, and my not liking it doesn’t lessen your enjoyment.
