@Eonjay: The cash payment is recorded through multiple quarters starting with this quarter, so it generates expenses (and as such loss) until it's made up for, or do you think it somehow doesn't get recorded in financial results?

On top of that, acquisitions have additional costs, and not small ones, including the costs to integrate the companies, administrative costs, and so forth.

This shouldn't even be a question. To be entirely honest with...

Because acquisitions cost money. It's not rocket science. 😂

@Asplundh: they're using literally the same faked comparisons from the anonymous Twitter user, which the article you link hasn't even bothered to fact-check, because controversy = money for crap sites with zero integrity.

@eonjay I'm not unshaken. I'm numb. After 20+ years, it is what it is. It sucks, but I can spend my energy fighting a losing battle that will never end and having to defend myself from the fans of those who plagiarize, or I can just work on more news and serve my readers instead.

The problem isn't the death threats. That's A problem, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. The problem is that the "evidence" shown to trigger the mindless outrage m...

@JEECE: That's actually *very* easy to answer. My work is plagiarized not once a year. Not once a month. But at the very least several times a week (and that's just the times I notice).

At times by sites much bigger than mine. At times by smaller sites. At times even by sites that post here regularly, because many people in this business would cut their own hand before giving credit to other sites.

When I suspect something has been plagiarized, i ...

If you think the "criticism" of this game hasn't been in general toxic and abusive, you don't have eyes.

It's friggin amazing that some people justify this crap and blame "devs and media" instead.

@Vengeance1138: That's false.
As someone who uses Blender quite extensively, I can tell that the person who posted these comparisons (likely disingenuously, because he'd know they don't match) made a BIG effort to try to line them up. You can see them moving them back and forth almost desperately, but they do not line up perfectly at all.
As a matter of fact, they proved the opposite of what they claim.

When someone makes a new and anonymous T...

Nah. Pokemon fans are trying their hardest to find some smoking gun to dismiss this game so they don't have to admit that Game Freak isn't the best developer in the universe.

I swear, this site regularly comes up with the worst takes on N4G.

@Chris: I respect you, but the Russia and Ukraine comparison is so out of place that it's not even funny. May as well bring it one step further and fall into Godwin's Law.

The FTC is continuing to fight a battle that is 99% lost, using taxpayer money for it (and not just a little bit) The ONLY reason they're doing it is because of Lina Khan's political view on big tech, which is a well-known and documented fact.

It's not their job to f...

Or maybe I'll label it however I want because it's my article.

If you think games like this aren't a very direct attempt to capitalize on Genshin's popularity and take a slice of its market share, you're quite naive.

There's a reason why so many have been coming out since Genshin's release, and it's not because Chinese developers suddenly all started loving the same kind of game.

I find it hilarious that after being told so many times some people still think that this is Microsoft doing.

This is a lawsuit started by the FTC before the deal was closed that the FTC refused to withdraw. The party that is refusing to move on is the FTC, and Microsoft would LOVE for them to "move on" since it costs them time, resources, and money to defend themselves.

All of these moves Microsoft is doing that you're reading about are *de...

Literally no other fighting game this generation has nearly as many fighters in the base roster as Tekken 8. Not even close. Keep your false entitlement in check, please.

It comes with 32 fighters in the base package. What else do you want, a free massage?

@Mtgames: Thanks for proving that you have been influenced by FFXIV's "influencers", which are pretty much some of the whiniest and most falsely entitled in the industry.

No, they're not right. They are in fact ludicrously wrong. The only reason that drives them is that they're constantly hungry for stuff to show, but they're completely detached by the needs to actual players, who have *plenty* of content to enjoy
