Don’t let any company which chose to get involved in this blatant scam get exonerated just because they dumped it later. They still tried to pull the scam in the first place, and they only dropped it because they didn’t make any money on it, not because it was a scam.
Always remember this.
You are making the mistake of conflating game quality with profit. He did not lessen the profitability of the games, on the contrary, and that is what the board cares about, not the quality of games.
They have a very dedicated flock of whales (the industry term for microtransaction addicts). They know they have them hooked, and they are obviously intent on bleeding those whales dry for everything they own.
I don’t care how much I liked a game, if any publisher acted in this way I would never consider touching any of their games. This is absolutely criminal behaviour.
“The game isn’t boring for the reasons that you think, it is boring for these completely secret reasons.”
Ok.
The “but the game is good now” people are the ones who showed him he can do exactly the same thing again without any serious repercussions.
Yes, those poor scammers, won’t somebody think of them?
But they always intended to make it better and gradually did, because they are an actual gaming company with actual devs. The “devs” of The Day Before never did.
They are not “down”. They have run away with the money, they are scammers who have done this before and they don’t deserve any pity.
It is of course marketing aimed at Star Wars fans who have never played a strategy game before and who may be reluctant to buy it because it is a strategy game.
It doesn’t bode well for the strategy aspect of the game. Or maybe it is just PR bs, who knows.
I’m getting strong “free games you got when you buy cereal” vibes off of this. Or at least games whose sole purpose for existing is to promote something else.
It is curious, there was another compilation of similar attacks, and everytime a drone had a direct hit on a russian it looked like a toilet roll exploded.
Very fitting though.
The wheels on the track of the destroyed vehicle is clearly very different from the ones on the first picture, so definitely not the same vehicle.
I think the guy on the left gets some shrapnel through his skull one the first impact, because he just drops like a sack of potatoes and doesn’t move for the rest of the video.
Yeah but “putting a conservative amount of jelly on your toast” has nothing to do with being a conservationist, because “a conservative amount of government” isn’t what exist or has historically existed.
I think your analogy is fundamentally flawed, because just because the words (“conservative amount of jelly” and “being a political conservative”) are same, they don’t have anything else in common.
It is like when Republicans claim that the US isn’t a democracy, because they are afraid it means support for the Democrats. Two different words with different meanings.
Those are positions I consider conservative, and hold myself, that aren’t reflected in current Republican policy.
None of those are specific to conservatism, and I would say some of the opposites of those position, like opposition to gay marriage and abortion, has historically always been part of conservatism.
More interestingly would be to learn what specific conservative policies you subscribe to. Policies which you don’t think exists in other ideologies.
And these all looked like very well equipped and geared soldiers. Not your “here’s your mosin nagant, now go find out where the mines are!” prison inmate draftee cannonfodder.
That is only because the cats sense that you don’t like them. If you actually liked them they behave pretty much as you experience dogs does to you.
Apparently it is a popular American myth.
This guy also seems to move about an awful lot afterwards though.
Unsure who you are referring to.
