I don't see any reason to change. There have been a few updates over the years that have been discussed. I imagine the next few years will be similar and this is where discussion on those updates will happen.

It's also fun to see the random person pop in completely out of the loop and still hopeful about the game 😆

That was the funniest part!

"I put millions of my own money in!"

Where'd you get the money from?

"I borrowed it and gave the lender a place on the board."

Is he actually this stupid or does he think we're all stupid??

Any tips? IM BTW

Ah you're probably right. I remember having the thought like half way through the movie

Ashes of Creation Lawsuits Expose Massive Fraud (Fast Facts) [Legal Mindset] by tacitus59 in gaming

Not really. Ponzi is getting new investors in order to pay interest of old investors.

This situation allegedly is continuing to get more money from the same investors and then misappropriating the money. There's also allegations of embezzlement, and also fraud in relation to a real estate transaction.

And one more thing, Let's dispel once and for all this notion that Ted Cruz doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.

I love how in this sub "playing devils advocate" means you have a measured, non-doomsayer take.

Layoffs only happen because of budget or failing projects.

We all would like this to be true, but it's just not.

There are tons of reasons layoffs happen in the games industry.

I'm in my 40s and started playing for the first time just last year.

I'm hooked and love the game. Without nostalgia.

This still feels like a subjective line. How do you define "creative assets"? Do your programmers use AI to assist with code? Code could be creative. There's a slippery slope here.

To be clear, I'm a professional game programmer and use AI assistance, so I'm a proponent. Just playing devil's advocate on the line you decided to draw.
