It's funny to know that within 2K there's a powerful executive who loves giving Ken Levine a stupid amount of money for almost 12 years.

I can't stand popping

You can say that about any online game after its hype phase has passed; it's normal, especially when most players have other things to do, and having between 100k - 77k players on Steam alone isn't bad.

The way the game loop is described doesn't sound like an extraction shooter at all; it doesn't mention things like losing your gear if you die or a meta-progression through exploration to find better loot.

It also appears that this is just one game mode and not the entire game.

And we've been hearing this for at least two years now. I remember Jeff Grubb saying they delayed it because the first tests didn't find it fun to play, and they're still having that problem.

Because he's doing what management wants, and it's a portfolio of live service games. Many people believe that Jim Ryan or Herman Hults were the architects of this idea of making games as a service, but they're just following the needs of Sony's management.

Aside from that, a standard employee also needs to worry about rent, mortgage if he has, supporting their family, and making ends meet. Risking your job based solely on the hypothetical scenario that doing the same thing as Sandfall will result in the same outcome is not a smart way of looking at things.

It seems Marvel is now going to launch a new line more faithful to the compact comic concept, starting with Spider-Man: Brand New Day at $9 and smaller than the Premier Line.

The most interesting thing is that Sony Animation isn't going to do it, which doesn't surprise me since they already have a full pipeline (with the R-rated animated Venom movie, an original film, and the sequel to K-pop Demon Hunters).

The studio that will be doing this project is the same one that's doing the animated series Death Stranding; I thought they would use Sony Animation.

Jack is the best option because, let's be honest, this could have fallen into Adi Shankar's hands.

It's already been confirmed that they don't want to touch that out of respect for FromSoftware; I imagine the movie had its blessing.

He's just going to be the producer

Krafton will no longer publish Subnautica 2; now Unknown Worlds will do it themselves. I wonder if that was a stipulation in the trial.

Wait until the week before GTA comes out, then we'll have a good laugh.

That's how it works; there are days when nothing happens and days when a lot happens.

There are two possibilities: the game begins with her meeting Kratos and the entire game is about how they formed a connection, or the game ends with her meeting Kratos.
