It’s kind of interesting that this franchise grew entirely out of the failure of SimCity in the same space. Now they are the ones fumbling their captive market and I wonder if another city builder franchise is going to spring up soon.

Sure. But does the 3D modeller then integrate their changes into DLC format and bundle it to work with the main game and paywall mechanics? It goes both ways. There isn’t just a 3D artist making a bug free DLC package on their own.

Sure they make the artwork, but who integrates it? What if bugs occur from that? If content packs could be made by artists alone, everyone would be pumping out content packs constantly.

I understand the energy in these replies, but do you guys seriously think artists are packaging their work as a DLC and integrating it into the main game? There is still a lot of work that goes into any DLC or major integration that has to be done by the same people that fix bugs.

That is usually the case. The smart people do the coding, but the morons do the planning and fail upward as people managers generally do.

Either that or narcissists who get to the very top by shouting over everyone else, so the smart opinions don’t get taken onboard.

They were forced to leave because of all the boobies.

You know what there’s too much of on the Internet these days? Squares that don’t understand sarcasm and tone.

I also blame Twitch. Before there were boobies in the way of my gaming streams, people had to read into the covered up boobies all over the Internet. Now there’s just boobies on display everywhere and you don’t have to think about anything.

I think you’re right about H&M, though I know a lot of fans did a rewatch after the passing of Matthew Perry, so could be a lot of that too.

I just wonder how Lindsey compares to Craig.

It looks like one of those bundles also includes Ferrystones.

I wouldn’t say 100%. Marketing wasn’t responsible for releasing on platforms that couldn’t actually run the game properly…

All Rockstar Games ever have been pushed back by months or years. They have all had monolithic levels of crunch. People not working in the office is definitely not to blame. Particularly if they were hired as offside, which the article claims.

I seem to remember Cyberpunk 2077 having a release that was quite far from perfection…

No, I grew up eating foods that I could be certain weren’t made up of 99% corn syrup.

Oh sorry, you’re right, there’s an address for more info. I shall scribe my correspondence post haste in order to discover the nature of the product on the shelf.

You know what else is odd? That you’re staunchly defending this label with barely any information on it. Pretty much every point you’ve made is “but why does it need information”…

I thought it was my EU brain interpreting it that way. The alternative, like your wine example, is basically a black market cut product anywhere else.

As other people said, in the EU with “honey blend” you’d expect a blend of different types of honey, as it wouldn’t be allowed to be call honey unless it was pure honey. Having to decipher “made with real honey” to mean “its not real honey” is just fucking odd. Flip it over and look at the ingredients and its just a list? Why no percentages?

Gourmet stuff comes in all sorts of weird packaging and shitty stuff comes in fancy packaging, so having to assume it is corn syrup because it’s in a bear shape is also weird.

No rules for food labelling is wild.

I thought botulism was the main threat.

I’m confused there are no packaging standards in the US. Is the first ingredient the largest? How do you know if there’s no percentage given?
