but big publishers want to maximize their return on investment, and right now that means wedging live service offerings, loot box mechanics, and micro transactions into whatever genre maintains the most engagement over time.

Oh look, there's Suicide Squad over there. I wonder how it's doing...

100% of my excitement for this game died the second it was revealed to be a live service.

I remember when they announced that Fallout 76 wouldn't have any NPCs. Instant pass. I cannot recall another moment that would cause me to drop any possibility of playing a game more than that.

This whole situation with Suicide Squad reminds me of that, and it's not like Suicide Squad has the name draw like a franchise like Fallout.

So, why read the Vox "article" when I can just read the Slate one?

I'm going to invoke Poe's Law and not assume this is sarcasm.

Photoshop has been a thing for 25+ years, and we're surprised at this? There are a few problems with this image that anybody with even halfway-decent scrutiny can pick up on, like the shadows next to the note, or the weird furniture thing on the left.

Because good presidents are assassinated by crazy, racist, angry people, and all of those people are the ones rooting for Trump.

And then Warren had an idea: What if the guys were holding Budweisers?

This is why marketing people are on a different planet than the rest of us. And not in a good way.

the reason they don’t sell it anymore is because the steam link app is on most smart devices now

Not available for Roku or webOS. That's hardly "most smart devices".

Which is why you can't buy a Steam Link, amiright?

I use mine regularly, and I would be sad if it completely breaks.

The left eye doesn't match the other. Might want to inpaint that.

Marcus Greenwood

Hatch, established in 2011 by Marcus Greenwood, has evolved significantly over the years. Marcus, a seasoned developer, brought a rich background in developing both B2B and consumer software for a diverse range of organizations, including hedge funds and web agencies.

So, Marcus pretends to write the article, even though he fully admits it was written by an AI? Marcus is not the author. He does not deserve an author profile.

You think Putin gives a flying fuck about international law?
