The owners know how. They also know that by leaving it there they make extra money on top of sales. They also know that the person getting berated for having it there is the worker who can't change it.
The mimics are there throughout the entire game. However about 1-2 hours in you get a piece of equipment that lets you detect shapeshifted mimics before you get close. You start encountering non-mimics pretty early on though. Once you get out into the lobby you get some variety in enemies which is pretty early on.
Prey should have been called Neuroshock. Yes it's basically bioshock in space. Even down to the wrench.
I slept on Prey for ages and eventually worked up the motivation to play past the intro and it was such an experience I immediately did a second playthrough. It's legitimately one of my favourite games. Heartbreaking that it didn't perform well.
This is such bullshit. Shoulda they fine uber the 274 million for sidestepping the regulation? Sure, fuck uber. But those grubby cunts in the taxi industry shouldn't get a fucking cent of that money.
Even if you're thinking of the half-dozen hard working drivers who aren't dodgy cunts; you know they're not seeing any of this money. It's all going to the medallion owners who do fuck all and make fucking all.
Hate to tell you this but in case you thought cancel culture was a recent phenomenon: Richard Pryor (the co-star of Blazing Saddles) was arrested for foul-language during his stand-up routine the same year Blazing Saddles came out.
There's also the simplicity. I enjoy my PC for sure but for some people the ease of popping in a disc or downloading the title and it running perfectly on the first try is a major selling point. Troubleshooting my Ex's PC for 2 hours only to realise I didn't install the standoffs is an experience I can't get on console.
