Very fair lol

Their games have been reheated bongwater broth for more than a decade now, more predictable than even Sony and far less competent in execution, did you need more reasons?

I mean, I’d bet dollars to donuts Ubisoft would win it handily if it gets to a class action or whatever equivalent.

For one, they’re basically on the verge of falling over so the economic motivation is a no-brainer.

For two, it’s a massive multinational company headquartered in France (a country with stronger labour laws than Canada) with plenty of legal advice available on these matters. I highly doubt they’d do it this blatantly if they were not confident this is an easy sell, instead of waiting something like 6 months to separate the 2 events enough for plausible deniability.

For three, good luck holding a foreign company accountable, in general.

All great mechanic driven games do this to an extent.

I had this with Portal and Minecraft back in the day, it’s just because they’re games that force you to think with their mechanics.

Except ubisoft is hemorrhaging money so it’s an extremely easy sell to say “the studio is not profitable and we’re in dire need to cut waste” and indeed can the lot.

My answer to those is always “i code for money, I don’t code in my free time”

The only thing that makes me somewhat curious is the main actor, since I remember liking his performance in the Yakuza games.

I think it would be better served to separate itself more from Yakuza/RGG instead of being set in the same place with the same general idea and even the word dragon in the name, as it stands it feels like someone playing the hits and not genuinely trying something new.

Honestly the idea itself, as insane and barely disguised a fetish as it is, isn’t even that bad, to me.

It’s the planned aftermath that is pretty horrendous?

The idea that they would need that for their relationship to evolve in a positive direction when they’re already basically a couple by Shindig is genuinely sad, if they wanted that grim a story beat they should probably place it after they’re already an established couple and Mal has gotten over his shit about companions, then there’s some good meat on the bone in terms of character dynamics to explore.

We got Yakuza at home

Right, I should’ve said “accidental byproduct of non-consensual experimentation on the population” but yeah, still beyond the pale.

• Given how Serenity turned out, firefly’s cancellation was probably for the best, making the reavers the intentional by-product of alliance experiments completely destroyed the nuances of the factions in the war of independence.

• Inuyasha ran out of ideas 10-15 tankobon in, and Takahashi just kept milking it for the money.

• Every fandom that accepts the “x is for everyone” motto is accepting enshittification and casualization with open arms. Air and water are for everyone, even bread has people who dislike it, for something to be unique it necessarily will have haters. The right word is anyone.

• Archer had a bit of a dip when Adam Reed left the writing team but it recovered and had one of the best endings possible for a series that long lived.

Because it does not fit the definition.

It would probably fit reckless endangerment, but murder requires the intent to cause death specifically.

I dunno where the others are but they better be at the range, cause this guy did the opposite of helping.

Of course it was Santa Ragione.

Met one of the founders years ago, acted like he had discovered the wheel and hot water himself when all he did was come up with Mirrormoon, which while good is anything but the smash hit he was pretending it was, it just happened to be the most successful italian indie game at the time of, like maybe 3 of them?

These guys are pathologically auteur, and from everything I’ve seen of them, think they’re way smarter than they actually are.

It’s definitely affecting it, yes.

For most people being sexually desired and knowing they are is a very important part of a relationship.

No? Https is just the connection protocol? You can do it over LAN only just fine?

You’re appealing to definitions as if they matter in real world contexts.

If I created a group called “the bad people killers” and started killing people would that “by definition” mean everyone I killed was bad?

Communism may be defined as a wheelbarrow full of monkeys for all that matters, in the real world every self-sufficient communist regime was a shitshow of state capitalism, coercion, censorship, and state violence. All the drawbacks of capitalism and none of the perks.

That’s what communism, descriptively, is. The day you figure out a way to manifest reality by sheer will alone without having to deal with the real world I will be interested in what something is “by definition”

Authoritarian State Capitalism

Yeah exactly, communism.
