How the mighty have fallen. Have fun going bankrupt you dumb shit!
Apparently not content to be known as the Ultima guy(nobody remembers Tabla Rasa. I only know about it because Yathzee did a ZP on it once), now he wants to be the guy who embraced NFTS after it's clear gamers really don't like them.

Unfortunately he will be backed by Sweeney and the Chinese investor money making NFTs work even as we protest it. In an ironic throwback to the 90s, some mobile game using NFTs got a porn star to shill their game

[savoir faire:Success]NFTs are once again bringing back washed up and irrelevant marketing trends to the forefront, with the dystopia of a late stage capitalism economy

I forgot what the fuck that was, and that it even existed.
Don't worry. Considering how quickly it died apparently nobody else knew it existed either.

I swear this is the dumbest timeline.

*For example, VA isn't notably better/worse, one of the doesn't look super derpy, etc.
Some variation in accents for VA would be nice... and I don't mean getting to choose between Whitebread American and BBC News Reader.

I figured he was out of the games biz. Now I wish he'd stayed out, because man, this is just sad.

BTW, RIchard, what happened to that other MMO you tried to launch? Tabula Rasa? How did that work out for you?
I'm starting to wonder if, when he went out to space, he forgot to bring his brain back with him.

In other news, CBS has once again block Angry Joe's review on the latest episode of their Halo show.


He doesn't even hate the show. As the episodes went on he's been saying that it's better and criticizes it but says it's still an enjoyable show. So....they are blocking his videos without him even hating on the show. Episode 3 he gave a 7/10 like that's not even that bad.

And since season 2 has been greenlit already, it's gonna be the same song and dance in about few months or a year

Why are they only blocking him? I hate Joe, but even he don't deserve that. There are plenty of other critics on YT that have said so much worse. What makes him so special?

Apparently, a lesser-known content creator called synthetic man, also had his video copystriked (mentioned at the intro of his latest video)

Looking at both cases, I'm guessing they pick on Angry Joe because of the huge community, and Synthetic man because they think it's okay to abuse small-time content creators.

But what can you expect from guys who didn't even had the respect to play the source materials?

So does the Halo show really suck that bad or are some people mostly just talking shit out their asses? I have no interest in watching myself but I’ve also heard that it’s just ok.

The show itself is just mainly average. The one saying that it suck either have not seen a lot of bad shows, or are exaggerating for the sake of a grift.

Cool

Anything to help people with health problems is good in my book.

China being insecure, 1, 2, butt-fucks as usual.

Fuck you Microsoft and anyone in the AAA industry to try it. Capcom briefly tried doing in-game ads for SFV. It did not last long.

What, Cup Noodle in FF15 and Monster in Death Stranding isn't enough for these assholes?

Seriously, if I start seeing non-joke ads in loading screens, I'm asking for refunds or not buying at all. It's one thing to see Saints Flow joke ads in Saints Row games, it's another to break up gameplay to try to sell me Pepsi.

This is why I am moving further and further away from most things AAA and sticking with the AA and indie. Some of y'all looked at more or acted skeptical despite evidence toward the contrary. Gran Turismo 7 is fucking a joke, and they tried to make people pay money real world cars, on top of $70. If this is what we have look forward to most of the time, then count me out. I'll stick with Nintendo for the rest of my life, if I have to do so.

How do you mess up ads in Street Fighter? Just have stages in populated areas and put ads on billboards or large display screens. Sure itd still be annoying but at least it wouldn't be intrusive.
