Don’t apologize for having an opinion. Just apologize for discounting the ones that don’t agree with yours. It’s listed as very positive on Steam and sold very well. Your hyperbole about everyone saying it was bad is provably wrong.

It sold 4 million copies. The press lathered it with praise as a lot of major media outlets gave it 9s.
Game Critics Awards: Best Original Game DICE awards: Best RPG Nebula Awards: Best Writing Game awards: nominated for four categories, including game of the year
It was nominated and won other awards as well

Outer worlds was received perhaps even better and was more popular than Avowed is currently. People’s memories are fuzzy I guess but Outer Worlds was a genuine GOTY contender.

I abandoned ship after the Kyrie trade and the sexual harassment scandal. The early warning signs were there even back then. It hurt but you can’t reward this organization.

I must be super behind the times. All I knew about Iron Galaxy was ports, Killer Instinct, and Divekick.

Second video posted from this creator today . The presentation is very off-putting. I’d suggest they take a different approach if they want to be taken seriously and to garner more credibility. I couldn’t make it through either video.

- Comment on The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone) 1 month ago:
The real reason we have DRM-free stores is because there’s no copy protection on CDs themselves. Companies tried and failed several times to add copy protection to CDs. That, on top of a great public outcry, is the reason we have those online stores. For some reason the public didn’t fight as hard with video and rights are a lot harder to manage with so many contributors.
You’re right that Musicians can publish their products on their own because the funding requirements are much lower. Movie/TV costs have skyrocketed and very few can afford to publish their own products. Just look at Coppola with Megalopolis. He self funded like $200 million for the movie but still had to get a distributor.

There are plenty of boutique brands out there that have taken up the physical distribution in lieu of the content owners. As long as there’s a market for it, physical discs will still exist. There are definitely some companies that have decided not to license out distribution but they also own their own digital platforms (looking at you Netflix). Fortunately, much of what they produce is merely content and not worth owning.

I mean, it is in my house. It’s on my computer. But now I can access it from anywhere too.
- Comment on The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone) 1 month ago:
I will admit that I prefer accessing my movies digitally. I will also admit that I absolutely prefer actually owning things I buy. So the compromise is to buy a disc, rip it onto a computer, and access it from there. Physical media won’t die until digital rights actually represents ownership. Unfortunately procuring those discs will likely continue to be more expensive and the discs themselves less prevalent.

Also a massive foul on Sengun but that doesn’t get called a lot on those end of game plays.

I’m gonna be that person and say that if you haven’t made the effort to play a 12 year old game by now, you never will. Not belittling your effort to avoid spoilers though.

Chuck, I got news for you. Most people that follow the NBA don’t have cable. This will likely expand the reach of the NBA to the younger fans and, frankly, is necessary for the sport to succeed. TNT has largely languished with the rights over the years tbh.
