⁦@XboxP3⁩ you lost a 17 year customer today, retiring from your ecosystem. ABK deserved better.

@ggreenwald @MSzabs This is a great lede

@Tyler_A_Harper @DougJBalloon Who was supposed to do the vetting? The Dem party apparatus was doing oppo.

@PDergarabedian @Inc @letterboxd @netflix @Sony When Rotten Tomatoes was an independent site the average review score was around 50

After passing through the hands of a few media conglomerates the average review score has inflated to the mid-hi 60s

These sites have value precisely and only when they aren’t big media-owned

@matthewstoller The answer to socialism is not the law of the jungle.

@PaulTassi Oof

@PaulTassi Retail would not have been happy if digital had been sold at a discount. This still matters at least for the console makers as you can’t digitize a box

@ZephyrTeachout Don’t worry, the Venn diagram of the two sides agreeing to that is the null set

@ddayen ‘Moderates’

Let’s call them what they are. Roadblocks to necessary change

@ryangrim Wait till they start calling it a Lost Cause

[Doug Creutz @DougCreutz]

@PaulTassi If Sony wants to make some easy money have Bungie take all the campaign content from D1 and D2 and release it as a single player game. I think it would sell incredibly well. (And would be an amazing teaser for D3 once they make the right decision to boot that up.)

[Doug Creutz @DougCreutz]

@PaulTassi To be clear I think DCV was a mistake but the game could have survived it if there had been a stronger post Final Shape plan in place

[Doug Creutz @DougCreutz]

@PaulTassi And the engagement numbers were strong! It’s what’s happened since Final Shape that killed the game

[Doug Creutz @DougCreutz]

@WiserCrescent99 @PaulTassi Final Shape was two years ago. The problems have particularly been over the last year

[Doug Creutz @DougCreutz]

@MarathonDevTeam Yeah I’ll run sentinel once I see it in the codex. No offense but the execution on season 2 thus far hasn’t inspired that level of confidence.

@RoKhanna It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on him not understanding it
