I'm impressed. I was ready to try and reply to Randy's comments.
But he really did it. He went and elaborated a long and complex essay, going at the very minimum details with great effort to repeat the same bullshit PR spins we are already tired to see, while dribbling around some points that can't really be spun. Amazingly crafted narrative about "features" and how this is all a bet for the future - a future that is just
better. For
all of us. I'm just
baffled. Not to mention the same tired misinformation and bad faith takes.
Even though there is a specific point I agree with, it is contextualized and weaponized in the dumbest and most predictable way.
Nothing about this ""explanation"" is even remotely worth engaging or rebutting.
If you actually read through the whole thing, hell, HALF of the thing, and think otherwise, or found it thoughtful in some way, I am just laughing at you. He throws one sentence that directly contradicts the previous one at such pace, it would make my essay teacher from highschool
blush. And it's long winded, holy balls hahahahaha
Oh, and also:
There is an important question I think is worth asking: What are these company's values and given that, which of these companies is more likely to progress at the fastest rate on behalf of the customer and the developer/publisher?
CEOs talking about company values lmao
Track record combined with company values and the situation at the companies. I can explain all of those. First, track record. Now, I have a bit of authority on this topic of track record between these companies.
And here we are... It's a year with fewer huge titles than we've seen in years. It's a year where the consoles are at peak life-cycle and PC store fronts are getting rattled. And in a world where EA and ATVI cannot really be the ones to take the risk to help the forcing function happen, Take Two shows some balls and steps up with our game, Borderlands 3, to be the content that catalyzes this moment.
this motherfucker should stop with this magic shit and start a career as a comedian oh my god ahahahahahahaahah
