He’s not best known for his journalistic skills…

Phoebe Waller Bridge being the show runner doomed this from the start. Amazon has already messed up LotR and WoT. What’s another franchise to go ahead burn to the ground?

@Artois2 and? You’re going to un buy the game you loved?

@8bit4Life yeah except it helped make the game you loved? Such a ridiculous temper tantrum over this

@DennisReynolds except people aren’t mad and they’re trying to manufacture outrage. So these articles are already being flamed.

What an ironic rousing endorsement for AI. The most beloved game this year benefited from AI. Consumers don’t care about awards. It’s marketing

I think y’all are on about your last leg with the engagement on these articles. It’s not going anywhere and people really don’t care that much either. The development cycles for these games have grown to ridiculous proportions. I mean we are watching a remake of a game made in 1997 take over a decade to be completed, split into three parts. That’s asinine. AI will speed up redundant processes to the joy of most gamers and developers.

@Ainu20 from your post to bloggers ears. This is manufactured by the big game media. They career on this stuff. It’s the bulk of what people like Jason at Bloomberg hone in on. Like someone posted in the ND crunch article. Try working at a job like farmers who provide the basic food we actually need, they work crunch all the time to harvest. It’s called work and these are hardly people working in terrible conditions for a peasant’s wage. It foments toxic discourse that I thought we were actually against.

@LogicStrikesAgain it’ll be seven years if they even make the mid 2027 release date (they won’t)

Also I don’t understand this parasocial relationship media/comment sections have with these studios. It’s 100% optional to work at these places and if you disagree with the way they function then leave. They’re in air conditioned buildings with great amenities and employee benefits. Relax and stop letting the writer from Bloomberg career off of “hey these guys are working more hours for a few months”

There is still a huge chance of it not even coming out altogether. They’ve got to stop announcing these things when they’re vaporware.

Really like the last minute virtue signal in there to make it look like this was somehow selfless. The guy clearly wanted this to be a source of income, couldn’t make it happen, decides to leave but sites Elon as the reason. If you think for a second they’d have left money on the table over Elon then I have a bridge to sell you.

My memories are not fond of either console. The hardware themselves were amazing! The support from Sony was nonexistent and made the purchases of both seem worthless.

@nessisonett This is satire, right?

Umm, Bungie has always been lousy with their communication especially when it comes to Destiny. How is this any different?

@zupertramp You wouldn't have this game nor would this comment exist without the internet. Is this pedantic? Yes but your comment was pointless anyways so no harm.

@Cherip-the-Ripper umm it could still have the September 1st date and your statement would still be true. This game is a certifiable flop in the making.

@Americansamurai1 right, which is why there is no mention because they have to build a fake argument (straw man) to win an argument no one is having. That’s why the running meme is TLOU: Remastered Remaster. The way they’re handling this is making me believe in all the ridicule that’s been levied at them for the past couple of years. Shameful.

@Titntin I'll give you major credit for the contrition. 99% of people would just double down and move the goal post. Good on you for having character, sincerely.

@Titntin in the same paragraph you said make up your own mind and to listen to the critics that awarded it game of the year.

@NojahZA yep they win the award of another tarnished video game developer.

@spcspc you can absolutely negative about a game. Nothing wrong with that.

@Korgon the leaks from TLOU2 exposed it for the lie it was.

@Goober1 no kidding. Am not buying and calling the game out for the trash it is.

I have zero sympathy. And am very much enjoying the s show this is.

I’m so glad that this game is getting torched. I hope this flops insanely after what Neil did with part 2. Ruined Bruce’s work.

And the fan will be extremely excited about this.

Omg stop trying to police the masses it’s impossible. Stop acting like this is your first venture on the internet ignore the bad and move on with your day. The more you lecture the more you’re inviting trolling. This isn’t new, hard, or a big deal.

I'll give Schreier credit in that he has somehow managed to gain a bunch of industry contacts. That's in spite of his personality which is atrocious.

I'd argue that reputations in gaming are extremely fluid. As in, from each game release. If the new Dragon Age is well received then EA will be praised and if not, then EA will continue to get pooped on.
