@Jarrkha: I think this kind of internet hoopla is often more about having some hoopla and less about the game.

@ezio899: Thanks for posting those supporting links. That Forbes article especially was an interesting read.

@ezio899: Back in March, Disney was saying those IPs have made several times what was paid for them.

Where’d you hear they hadn’t turned a profit yet?

@gameboy8877: I mean, they struck while the iron was hot and made one of the most popular games in the world. Making games people want to play is kind of their whole job.

@gameboy8877: Honestly, I liked Once Upon A Time in Hollywood better than anything he's done since Kill Bill.

I always liked, in Star Trek: TNG, all of the black construction paper taped all over computer screens in the background of bridge shots so they wouldn't reflect the stage lighting back at the camera. Less obvious in the 90s on a low def TV, but in HD you can just about make a drinking game out of it.

@yolibag512: Creating an account just to **** on people who like something should be deeply embarrassing.

@sebb: Could be, but that’s a different issue.

@robocoprocks: Man, not for me. I was hooked on Andor season 1. They actually made a Star Wars show with some stakes, where it seemed like there might actually be a cost to the good guys winning.

Most of the action in seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian, and in Book of Boba Fett is Star Wars that put me to sleep.

@bakula: That train sailed for Fallout a looong time ago.

I could see the success of BG3 convincing Microsoft to make AAA Wasteland 4 in the same style though.
