I wonder if that include key reseller? I know you can per order it for 20% off (GMG, which is legit iirc), which makes some sense if someone is planning on buying it day one (which is a terrible idea, but if you're going to do it, might as well do it when its cheap).

It'll be hurt by being a Crystal Dynamics gamePerfect Dark Won't Be Hurt by Painful Embracer Restructuring
Crystal Dynamics says Perfect Dark and new Tomb Raider will see "no impact" from the painful Embracer Group restructuring and layoffs.
I was just wondering about this the other day... Hadn't heard anything from Nick in the announcements subforum, began to wonder. It's a shame, considering how hopeful everything was when we moved over. Or at least, hopeful for some, maybe not all.
While we've had some new people join, more regulars have stopped dropping in. So I don't really blame them for no longer investing the time and energy that could be spent on the Discord, Twitch and Youtube channels, which afaik are seeing growth, with their own larger and more active communities that have basically zero overlap with this place. I don't remember who said it, but might be the only reason the place is still around is Nick can't bring himself to close the door on us.
I got the DMC forums, but that's about it. I might join Space Battles, as a lot of the people that are pretty cool from what I've seen. I am never going back to GameFAQs (haven't been there since I was 19), and Giant Bomb can screw off.
With Discord, there's usually more control, but not all the time, to keeping things orderly. Or as close or you can get on a server called Discord.
Honestly, this has me worried for Embracer in a way I really don't think I should* be. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Embracer appears to be the publisher of bargain bin games, the titles that are not the highest budgets but can still be someone's favorite. And they are evidently good at it since they've managed to grow so big, and I don't think they've been involved in any major scandal**. Crystal Dynamics is the exception since they are the developers behind the super lucrative Tomb Raider franchise. If the boat is rocked at Embracer and they chose to focus on their AAA franchise instead of their regular titles then that indicates skewed priorities away from the things that they've evidently made work.Perfect Dark Won't Be Hurt by Painful Embracer Restructuring

Speaking of, GMG has been acting really weird all morning, I keep getting error messages when trying to do anything on desktop
Looking around they have the best deal for starfield (fanatical is at 15%) so maybe they're getting too much traffic from it?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, there has been for as long as Escapist v2 has. But there doesn't seem to be a link to it on the site proper. You have to check YT descriptions for it.
In a way it’s a testament to the group we have here. I mean, where the hell else can all authority just say *fuck it we’re out* and the place remains civil? Well, perhaps at least everywhere outside of the more heated current events stuff.
Discord is less forum and more replacement skype group. It's just really big and convenient, but also different.
I just realised it was my 15th anniversary of joining this forum a few days ago (and I noticed Crimson Pheonix has the same join date). I guess it'd be a bit like shooting Old Yeller at this point.
So, that's basically someone to proof read all the AI produced articles to make sure there's nothing too stupid in them before publishing?
250 articles a week? So around 35 to 50 articles including adding links, images and whatnot per day, depending on how many days of the week they work?
I found the main Escapist site down this morning. Coincidence?
The "proofreading" will probably be to the extent of "will this AI's gibberish get us sued?".
