I agree it was a success, but do you remember its launch? Big studios only copy formulas that guarantee win, and in this case even CD Projekt, studio beloved by gamers, initially struggled to turn it into success (And yes, I know I might be too cynical here, Rockstar still seems to be more focused on making good games than most big studios nowadays)

And that’s the real reason why they won’t make GTA in the future soon. That part of the market is already taken by CD Projekt, and Cyberpunk 2077 was not a clear success, so other CEOs won’t force their teams to fight for that market. Too much trouble, too much risk.
Copy what already worked, add a minimum innovation and maximum microtransactions and repeat until money stops flowing.
- Comment on Why do big people wear the tiniest shit especially at rallys or riots? Like on Jan 6 I saw a bunch of big stupid people have on bullet proof vest that was only maybe 6inch by 6inch or tinier? 1 month ago:
Question to people downvoting this. I thought the community is called “no stupid question” to encourage questions that people would otherwise hesitate to ask. Downvoting them sends mixed signals, doesn’t it?

- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 8 months ago:
I heard some banks encrypt single characters of the password separately (no idea how that would be safe) they often ask to provide random characters from the password instead of the entire password.
My bank only accepts up to 20 characters. It doesn’t validate it… The login page simply ignores all characters beyond 20th. So I didn’t even know that it cut my password until I tried to log into the mobile app, which replaces the last character when you type more than 20… that was confusing 20 minutes when I didn’t know why I can’t log into my mobile app.

All this time when people didn’t get any answers, and it turns out that the missing spell was “you are muted”.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 9 months ago:
Not having access to Adobe products is a feature not a bug.
- Comment on What kind of CAPTCHA is this? 9 months ago:
From the instructions, I would say they are trying to convince them to hack themselves (and yes, I know, that’s how 95% of hacking works… But is that only me, or this one is so obvious that it hurts)
- Comment on Please tell me I'm not going nuts 10 months ago:
So, imagine I suspect someone wants to kill me. But nobody believes me. Walking alone at night hoping to get shot… To own the non believers… Doesn’t sound like a smart plan.

Can someone explain the connection? Do Chinese people not use Linux?
- Comment on What are the exact ramifications and consequences of the recent meeting with Zelenskyy and Trump/JD? 10 months ago:
I don’t know if anyone knows for sure. We all can only guess. In the short term that probably is a win for Russia (less support for Ukraine). In the long term… Who knows?
Maybe it will galvanise the EU… Or break it. Maybe it will turn out to be a weird show to surprise Russia, or maybe Trump wants to sell Ukraine to get Russian support against china.
Just guessing. I definitely don’t know.
