It's the irony.

* 245 billion in revenue.

72 billion in net income (profit).

Just made Gamestop viable again with the used games market.

Microsoft did not wait for Nintendo to make this decision.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Think of the poor CEOs and hedge fund managers. Microsoft made 70 billion last year in income and revenue, which completely justified the layoffs.

You're just being selfish.

"We had other issues though as well that we tried to be transparent about. For one we had crippling tech debt using an engine that wasn’t designed for what we were doing...Another issue we had was having the right resources to make content for the game."

Ubi set them up for failure out of the gate. And he says they had stuff in the pipes that should have been at launch means Ubi rushed it out and the devs didn't.

This aged like eggs.

And if it did sell out, the Nintendo haters would just claim they did that to drive up hype and prices.

I subscribed to this not knowing about how some of the proceeds go to St. Judes.

Really cool that some of the money goes there.

Even if people don't subscribe to the mag, it might bring people to the charity.

But I thought every game was 80 bazillion dollars!?!!

This was exactly what they planned. Launch day was already set up with the following day being restocked.

It's no surprise, this author has been lying about video games for years. He gets his clickbait stories posted here and attacks people who report them for lying, clickbait, and other nonsense.

He's a clown.

Go back and watch that teaser for Cyberpunk 2077.

They're doing the same thing again. They're a bunch of clowns.

I prefer the term offendiaries. They don't really react other than scream at their phones in anger and frustration, believing themselves to be far more superior and intelligent than the person they are misinterpreting.

Did the companies that paid for them get their money back?

But of course they did. I bought it in 2016. Then I got every PS edition including the VR editions for free.

Office space is cheap since so many people now work from home.

The only thing exploding is the price to the customer and the CEO's bank account.

It happens all the time here. When people post factual information with sources, they get downvotes.

Then if you're around long enough, you get fans that live to downvote anything you say. It's so weird.

I've even had to block a few people.

CEO makes CEO noises.

If he takes a 1 million dollar bonus every year the game is being made and the game took 5 years to be made, the "cost" isn't 10 million, it should be 5 million.

It's just more magical accounting. This industry is replete with it.

Good news, indeed.
