Because it’s a gift to corporations at the expense of taxpayers.

Seeing as how the free filing system was shot in the head several times for no other reason but that it directly benefits tax payers, that's not much of gift in comparison to the fact that tax payers will have to keep paying money anyway. If it's any consolation, we might get a FOSS tax filer, which is still better then the current form we got.

I wish we could just stop winning. Winning so fucking hard here.

1. I don't believe that it would apply in this case, as tiktok isn't the only video media sharing platform in the USA. If amazon was buying all of video media platforms, that would be cause for concern.
2. Yeah, there was. America also explicitly voted that they didn't want fair competition at all. We're just getting what we deserve.

Switch 2 will be MRSPed at a retail price of USD 450.

So, that was a way more loaded direct then I though it would be. Absolutely stacked with the amount of games here for a new generation.

Donkey Kong is back. Now all we need is an announcement of a new Banjo-Kazooie and the boys will be back for good.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT I CALLED IT THAT SILKSONG WOULD BE ANNOUNCED AT SWITCH 2 KEYNOTE

New Deltarune chapters

So, like, is this actually going to be in the same storyline as BotW and TotK, or is going to be the same as the last time where it goes full alternate reality?

Hades 2 will be a title on Switch 2

How much does it cost, Nintendo. How much? JUST SAY HOW MUCH.

AN UPGRADE PACK, THE FUCK YOU MEAN?

The upgraded versions better be free upgrades.

That's crazy, I figured it would be another year off.

120 FPS and a larger screen. WOnder what the hardware components are.

Game Sharing seems pretty neat, actually.

Bold choice to start with a FUCKING GAME instead of the system itself, but ok, fair enough, I guess.

This is such a nebulous question that I'm not even sure where to begin, so I'm not even going. If you think that people having positive opinions about a game is a bad thing and negative opinions is a good thing, then hats off to you I guess, enjoy negative things.

As an aside, maybe don't watch Asmon, since he's a Nazi/Nazi apologizer.

This is just the same thing EA did with Mass Effect: Andromeda. Exec management wanted out of AAA singleplayer games, so they set the ME:A team up for failure, and then used that failure to justify the change to the shareholders.

If that was the case, then games like Jedi: Cal Kestis and the upcoming Dragon Age and Mass Effect games wouldn't even exist, even with the surprise success of Jedi: Fallen Order. But also, that's not even what happened with Andromeda. What happened is that BioWare's A and B teams screwed over the team that was making Andromeda constantly. That team (henceforth referred to as the C team) before had only had experience with the wildly considered to be worst DLCs of ME:3, and was working with an engine that was known for being incredibly hard to work with and temperamental with any game that wasn't a first-person shooter.

Even so, they had to struggle without the help of the significantly more experienced team leads and were bullied constantly without resources. After the game failed, the C teams were then dummied out of the company to other sections of EA. BioWare then went on to make Anthem.... without the C teams help who by that point were experienced enough to probably deal with some of the growing pains. Andromeda and Anthem were two games that were made entirely by the behest of BioWare, with little to no involvement from EA, because at that point, they were still the starling studio of EA. In fact, as an aside, the only involvement from an EA exec for Anthem was one of them was playing a vertical slice that ended up deciding the rest of the game because all the Exec said was that it was fun.

Nordic Games is talking a lot of shit for a company that fired a lot of their employees and killed their underling studios before the entire firing craze of 2023 and 2024. Hey, hows that deal with the Saudis going again? Oh, right, it fucking isn't because you staked your entire companies future on it and they decided they wanted out.
