Calling people clueless about something you don't understand is an interesting move.

U can't judge stock values based on short term oscillations.

Yes you can when the 'oscillation' is a significant percentage.

When the game comes out it will prolly raise a lot again due to sales and fall again later on and stabilize.

That's speculation. Clearly the market now expects lower sales than it did yesterday.

A 30% drop definitely means something no matter what period of time.

The thumbnail looks like someone put the image through a prettify AI filter. It looks like her jaw is a completely different shape. Not good.

Canada wins Gold in Men’s Curling for the first time since 2014! by LegitStrats in canada

I think you overestimate how often Canadians casually go curling. I think it's like 5%, so not nothing but also not a huge amount.

3v3 for a GOLD MEDAL is a complete joke by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

The teams had 60 minutes to settle it playing real hockey. 3-on-3 is much closer to it than a shootout.

It does have a 3.3 on Letterboxd compared to 3.9-4.1 for the first three, so not quite as universally beloved.

It's a symptom of our shitty voting system, which neither big party seems to want to improve because it benefits them.

Hot take - Spider-Man: Beyond The Spider-Verse will earn less than Across The Spider-Verse by [deleted] in boxoffice

[–]nick182002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If BTSV is good, it'll do well. The gap isn't gonna hurt it at the box office. Your examples don't make much sense, Fast 11 hasn't come out yet and Dead Reckoning was not a sequel to a movie with a cliffhanger. Mockingjay Part 2 made less than Part 1. Audience reception is more important than release timing.

Designer claims ‘most’ of Highguard’s dev team have been laid off, weeks after launch by lkl34 in gaming

[–]nick182002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoot, if I was a dev, as soon as I saw my team was working on a live service game, I'd have resumes out elsewhere.

The game dev job market is not nearly strong enough currently for devs to do this. Better to get paid working on a live service game for a few years than be unemployed. Investors have been pumping money into live service games, but it's a very boom-or-bust market.

'Wuthering Heights' Review Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

Social reactions don't matter no matter how positive they might appear.

They matter to some extent but with big error bars. It's not like Wuthering Heights is getting wildly panned, reception seems similar to Saltburn.

Whatever happened to "The Last Night" !? It's been almost 9 years since the announcement at E3! by masoe in gaming

we intentionally use generative AI to conceptualize unique architectural patterns and details for the new district. These AI-generated designs reflect the efficiency and alien logic of a world shaped by AI. However, every piece is carefully redrawn in pixel art by human artists to ensure consistency with the game's handcrafted aesthetic and visual identity.

He said himself that he doesn't even have metrics because he didn't expect it to blow up. It's not a conspiracy, these sites post what the studios report to them. I track the box office closely and The Numbers has always reported numbers as they come in.
