@Lach0121: I'm the opposite I've seen a about 50/50 depending on the circumstances leading to marriages in the first place. Marriage isn't something you just do, I mean it's a melding of two individuals and what causes the problem is failure to understand that each person is an individual. Not expecting someone to change because of reasons in your own head. Life is about truthfulness and if you are creating a false representation of yourself and thus misleading your partner, you're at fault. Problems happen in all relationships even non romantic ones. My parents have been married almost 40 years now, they had ups and downs but never divorced because of it and they are happier than me at an all you can eat buffet. If you aren't someone who is willing to compromise and learn that a marriage is something is constantly being molded and that not every problem is solved by divorce, they'd learn to love being in love and having the love and support of their partner.
No point to get into a relationship unless you are ready to accept all your partner is and isn't, there is a reason most people who are prepping for marriage go to marriage counseling since most have fairly romanticized view and are mostly selfish to begin with. People swear they know everything and fail to understand that learning is a process that no one is exempt from and we all continue to learn until we pass on. Love is love and being upfront and truthful will make finding the one who will love you for you and not for some projected(lying) self image you used to score that person. Come on that right there is setting up for failure, you have to pretend to be that for the duration of the marriage? Humans create the recipe for failed marriages when they start hiding, lying and being deliberately deceitful. Question, do people marry for Love or do they marry because of it? Sounds relatively easy to answer but break it down and you'll quickly see that they are very different and one is hinging on false hopes and expectation unknowingly thrust upon other person.
If you view marriage as a contract to property then of course it will be problematic, if people can't understand that you don't married. Marriage is never easy, so if you have more burdens on top of just learning about the person in depth...yea everyone has their breaking point and it's definitely your fault. The marriage itself is not at fault but the individuals who did not understand the undertaking of it all. Also Marriage has not always been about contract of property, it's been about myriads of things over the ages. Think about it, you marry someone to gain some property, when the marriage places you in a relationship with a wholly independent individual that you have to learn and understand. Property is worth having to deal with someone you'll probably never come to understand? That is a laughable ideal in and of itself. Only wealthy folks can do such a thing, common people can't even try that one. So property idea only applies to the 1%, what about everyone else?
@gameplayuk: Wrong at least find information, Platinum Games was get placed in a development environment that they were completely unfamiliar with, someone constantly shadowing you and watching your work was something they were not used to and you expect people to work efficiently when you shove them into your work ethic? Platinum Games had an interview where they spoke about the work ethic being the hardest thing to deal with since they had not been in an environment such as the one they had with MS. Yea it's Platinum's fault their creativity was stymied by inept business driven culture at MS, once again proves they(MS) aren't so good with developers. So it's back to Halo, Forza and Gears.
The OP was complaining about Platinum wasting millions, but what about Crackdown 3 that crap has been in development forever and still no sign of a released date, yet Scalebound was fresh idea with a cool concept and it gets killed. Watch Platinum Games builds Scalebound again and outs it on another platform, it's better to have attempted to get the game out and see how it is received than to cut it off and never know. MS is classic case of fear of unknown, well more of the fear of losing money lol.
@suicidesn0wman: Coming here expecting good journalism is your own fault, you sure aren't new to Gamespot so don't pretend any of this nonsense is shocking.
@sodapoppimpski: You mean the Gears Halo Forza release cycle which was missing a Halo release? Last few months "tons", what were you on before you wrote that? Aside from Forza Horizon and Gears of War 4, just what did they release that equates to "tons" of AAA exclusives? Mind you that was September and October and since then nothing until Halo Wars 2. So 3 games and you exclaimed "tons". What you assume is worth playing is besides the fact, also that doesn't mean jack. If what you believe did hold weight everyone would be playing all those "ton" of AAA games MS released during the time no games "worth" playing came out after Uncharted 4. Stick to facts and reality buddy, fantasy will only ever get you in trouble.
@sodapoppimpski: Blame MS and their micromanagement for Scalebounds woes, you expect a developer who never worked in such environments to somehow conform to your draconian ideals and be creative like they always have outside of your bubble? You need to think before you start spewing, business is business but creativity and an environment conducive to that is necessary. You also seem to talk about business as well, so what are your thoughts on Xbox Division's Live and Xbox being absorbed into Windows 10? You should know when this happen its always to bolster the flagging arm, no chance that Windows 10 is the flagging division, not a chance. Although I await your skewed response though, based on your history in this thread thus far.
@sodapoppimpski: Which year was that? Please go on record stating the year Sony released nothing. Since I think you are delusional. 2016, nothing after Uncharted 4 you say? No Mans Sky happened did it not? As did a myriad of other games that weren't on Xbox but you are free to parade your lies all you want.
