Man, fuck Embracer for scooping up Studios without a good long term plan to just to treat them as disposable.

Good. The Fandom pages are always slow and bloated to view.

Added one to the positivity pile. This game is a brilliant pick up and play game that is very undervalued for the content it contains.

The problem with that argument is that Bill Maher received similar backlash for announcing he would return without writers, only to U Turn as well.

The long and short of it is that, 3 writers felt disposable by Drew Barrymore and didn't want to return to a working environment where they could be thrown under the bus at any moment.

I'm calling bullshit. Most responsible sites let users know in advance if downtime is expected.

Most of what you said is spot on except for FF16. FF16 is an action RPG that is somewhat of a fusion between Devil May Cry 5 and Final Fantasy with Game of Thrones style storytelling. It's currently PS5 exclusive but will probably get a PC port down the line.

The game that's possibly a prequel to 1 is the spinoff game Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. I haven't finished SoP yet but it definitely seems that way.

What a disaster. I feel sorry for the fans who were lied to by ABK on what they were receiving with OW2. It definitely feels like the point of moving to OW2 was just to pivot to a more exploitive monetization model.

I'm glad that it seems like they've turned around on this game but they cannot be revisionist about the performance of the game at launch. It was quite bad and we have receipts to prove it.

E3 growing up was like having another Christmas to look forward to. Somewhat bittersweet that it's effectively gone but E3 has an identity crisis it needs to resolve first.

E3 was started as an industry networking event but overtime morphed to be a consumer facing show as well. With pre-recorded presentations being the norm, the Big 3 don't have any incentive to pay the ESA to have a space like that.

I think E3 needs to either revert back to an industry networking event or become a PAX-like consumer show.

Man, Reddit can get bent. Let's make their IPO fail miserably so they don't profit off this bullshit.
