They basically have a lot of laws that specifically restrict a lot of the rights that aboriginal people have. Basically stuff that's in the same vein as the Jim Crow laws we had here in the US. Yep. The conversation about racism never reached critical mass in Australia as in the US, and politicians here would rather pretend everything is fine. Around a decade ago the government introduced measures to ban indigenous people living in the outback from accessing alcohol and pornography, and all welfare payments were put into a specific card that can only be used for groceries and necessities. And many scummy shops responded by overcharging their times 10x times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Territory_National_Emergency_Response --- Hello |

| Fenriswolf 05/12/24 10:19:50 PM #11 | Fandom is one of the worst offenders. A decade ago they dominated fan wikis, until they decided to introduce a new layout to replace the old Wikipedia style one, which almost nobody likes. They pushed through anyway because the new layout is more friendly to ads, and lots of editors left for their own independent wikis.
They also screwed with Metacritic, making search harder and you can no longer search for the ratings of specific companies or directors. --- Hello |

no it isn't. it's a game from 2 years ago that was no longer only on PS5 as of last year. How much it sold on PS5 two years ago has no bearing on the studio being closed two days ago.

i reject your question. it is a meaningless attempt at a "gotcha" question that makes no sense. My question is perfectly valid. *Dishonored 2 didn't perform as well as the first game. *Prey 2 flopped despite receiving critical acclaim. *Wolfenstein Youngblood flopped due to forced co-op and looter shooter elements. *Redfall was greenlit during the same time period. *Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo got screwed due to the PS5 timed exclusivity.

Prey was amazing, I don't fault the developers for working on shit the suits forced them to and they didn't want. And how many copies did Prey sell again? MS wasn't the one pushing for Redfall, Bethesda did while it was independent and did the same with Machine Games by forcing them to make Wolfenstein Youngblood a co-op looter shooter. Alucard188 posted... You're making my point though. They spent so much money to get this acquisition through to the end zone. And now they're crying poor and saying they're spread too thin. Fuck off.

CrimsonGear80 posted... no, it actually performed beyond expectations. LMAO. $64 million profit against a $81 million budget is not "performing beyond expectations".

Whataboutism is literally the only strategy you have, isn't it? It's not whataboutism if there's a direct link between Munich and Molotov-Ribbentrop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement Joseph Stalin was upset by the results of the Munich conference. On 2 May 1935, France and the Soviet Union signed the Franco-Soviet Treaty of Mutual Assistance with the aim of containing Nazi Germany's aggression. The Soviets, who had a mutual military assistance treaty with Czechoslovakia, felt betrayed by France, which also had a mutual military assistance treaty with Czechoslovakia. The British and French mostly used the Soviets as a threat to dangle over the Germans. Stalin concluded that the West had colluded with Hitler to hand over a country in Central Europe to the Germans, causing concern that they might do the same to the Soviet Union in the future to allow its partition between the western nations. This belief led the Soviet Union to reorient its foreign policy towards a rapprochement with Germany, which eventually led to the signing of the MolotovRibbentrop Pact in 1939. --- Hello |
