- Comment on "What if Larian had shut down after Divine Divinity?": Star Trek Online exec scorns publishers who close teams like BioWare in favour of "AAA veteran" start-ups and AI "magic beans" 2 weeks ago:
Because publishers famously don’t know how to manage development studios well. They buy up the next hot thing, ruin it over the course of several years as they squeeze out every cent they can, then cut their losses and look for the next hot thing to buy.

EA still sucks.

He has zero connection to the company anymore. He’s just talking.
- Comment on Self hosting as a gift 3 weeks ago:
You’d be giving both them, and yourself, a job. Not a great gift unless they’re actually into this kind of thing and techy enough to be able to get up to speed. It’s not hands off enough to be given to someone who can’t maintain it themselves.

- Comment on Xbox layoffs mean that Elder Scrolls Online's roadmap is "shifting" just two days before Season One's release... the plan put in place for the MMO after the last round of cuts 4 months ago:
This is all new Netflix shows sadly.
They assume no one is paying attention, so they’ve made it so you don’t have to pay attention (every single thing they do, they explain as they do it)… Or want to.
- Comment on Xbox Games Studios loses two top execs, days after Microsoft CEO calls for company "reset" 4 months ago:
Not surprising given the new leadership is an LLM shill with zero connection to gaming at all and send to be there to gut all the studios Microsoft just spent billions purchasing. How this company can be so mismanaged for so long is astounding

- Comment on Stop Killing Games-backed California bill targeting online game shutdowns "isn't going to be an easy thing" to enforce, says the politician behind it 4 months ago:
Any game currently live when the law rolls put should be included. If game is already shut down, but the company releases a new game, one could argue they should be forced to comply as well.
