What really irks me are people that think there's such a thing as a "good" billionaire. Had an argument one time because I said all billionaires are inherently shitty, and my colleague was trying to convince me that Bill Gates is actually a good person.

Get real son, the path to billionaire is paved with blood.

No more apps please, I'd rather have access in a convenient way.

Interesting opinion from someone who didn't know they did unlockable characters in 4, lol.

I'm not suggesting every street fighter should come with every character, there's like a million. If you think that who they choose to add and not add isnt financially motivated, I think that's wrong.

SF6 is a great game, love it, and generally they're getting it right, but Capcom for sure loves doing things for that cash.

Lol right in time for Halloween

Street fighter 4 did this very explicity.

I'm not discounting that the whole DLC characters thing has been around since 2 though and has gotten worse.

I remember 5 launched with a barebones roster where a lot of core characters were missing (basically the first edition of 3 all over again).

To add some more context. Microsoft (and a lot of tech companies) have a relatively big presence in Israel, and that includes a lot of Israeli employees and acquired business.

Oh I think there was a book about this... Brave New... something

Nice comic.

Used to have a copy of Wild Arms on the PSX, and there was a scratch so deep that stopped progressing past Cecilia's intro, but man we tried.

I'm pretty fucking sure it doesn't work like that outside of your black and white interpretation.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm saying a lot of people find themselves in that (bad) situation either outside their control, or they can be manipulated, coerced, pressured, or hell use your imagination.

To be clear, it's definitely not always "oh so-and-so was so obsessed with climbing the ladder that they became the bosses bitch, Oooo." Thats a kindergarden take and, IMO, helps empower people at the top hoarding all the wealth.

Just port the twin snakes to something other than the GameCube and call it a day.

I'm gonna assume you don't know any better. Not saying there aren't bad or stupid middle managers, but usually the middle manager is the person who got shoved into a "management" position they probably didn't want, and all they really get to do is take all the heat when decisions they didn't make blow up in their face. It also usually comes with false promises of raises but upper management never really intends on giving it.

It's like, top level squeezing the bottom out 101.

And Apple will finally sell the iPhone starting with 256GB

History Channel graduate

Love that

Waste of time?

I agree with you, while adding that the lack of depth, especially in space exploration, economy and combat made it that much more disappointing. Like the groundwork is there, you should be able to hire pilots or have you companions run planet bases for you, but no. At least, when I played you couldn't do that.

This is just like that Epic dude saying Fortnite is the future (lol). People are trying to make definitive statements about what a successful game looks like but there are so many variables to consider. The problem just isn't as simple as "is it multi-player or not". Cost matters too, but it's also clear that more development money doesn't mean better game. Spider man 2 is a good game, but I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Balatro, which was way cheaper to make and to buy.

What if we could have a world that wasn't powered by ads? I'd like to get past this "only one way to run the internet" train of thought.

I'm just so tired of ads, commercials and advertising in general. It's exhausting.

Yet another example of companies making irresponsible anti consumer choices. You should have to pay the piper if you want to start dancing to this tune. That or you should be forced to open source your proprietary works.
