To be honest, the original Mafia's combat and movement were not that great to begin with. But every other aspect of the game (story, soundtrack, characters, atmosphere) was simply perfect. For those alone, I still consider it a masterpiece for its time.

As far as software engineering and design is concerned, I wholeheartedly disagree. I've been working from home for many days since the pandemic kicked in and there is nothing hindering my ability to perform my duties. Meetings can very well take place via skype, zoom or other online spaces. It pretty much makes no difference whether I'm at the office or at home.

Of course this may vary depending on the person and position but I believe remote work is very much viable. Ideally, companies should adopt a more flexible work schedule: optional physical presence and/or required for a couple of days at most for team bonding, socializing and other necessities.

@lonesamurai00: By your logic, I would never have watched the Prince of Bel Air because there's no white people representation in the cast. But I did watch that show and I loved it.

I'm excited for another (final) Indiana Jones movie, despite Crystal Skull being subpar. I'm really interested to see the evolution of the character all the way to an elderly age.

However, it's weird knowing that Spielberg won't be in charge of the movie, especially on the grounds of "passing the torch to a new generation". I mean it's the final outing for Indiana Jones as we've known him for decades. This isn't the start of something new and fresh, it's the definitive end.

Except if... Disney has a shitty plan in motion for a next gen milking of the character in some other format (Indy's son, grandson, etc.). I guess we'll have to wait and see. Perhaps Spielberg really has nothing new to offer to the franchise, in which case a new director might actually be a smart move.

@Vojtass: Yes that's what worries me when companies say "we don't force anyone to work overtime". It's very likely that indirectly, they do.

I'd rather they delayed the game even longer so that nobody has to work excessive amounts of hours. It's not worth it to have an amazing game if it means that certain people will ultimately burn out and lose the will to live...

@ginxeno: It's just another piece of clickbait content for the ad revenue. Sad but also funny.
