I don't think the industry and games journalists understand how little gamers care about what is happening to the games industry right now.
The 40-person studio that made "Expedition 33" is comprised of former Ubisoft developers. Ubisoft hasn't made a game as good as "Expedition 33" in at least ten years.
Ubisoft employs 17,000 people. If all of them lose their jobs and some of those people manage to form even a single small studio that makes a game as good as "Expedition 33," then we one more great game to play than we would have had otherwise, because Ubisoft will never make a great game. Great games are not Ubisoft's business model and that is why Ubisoft is unsalvageable.
What is happening in the games industry right now is not the destruction of anything that deserves to be preserved. We are seeing the inevitable collapse of giant corporate studios that make mediocre games that nobody wants to play.
I was content with what @AmazonAlexa was. Setting timers and alarms, answered basic questions (date/weather/etc). Now the new "plus" version takes longer to answer, tries to give responses with personality, and is constantly prompting me to use other features... I hate it.
@MrEricMartin 54 (if you follow the +1 point for each one in the series on LotR and SW. I just did the base, didnt include the hobbit series or any non-Ep 1-9 on SW.) 59 if you include Hobbit as LotR and rogue one/solo as SW.
45 without the +1 rules.
@DNS1976@Hoopss Downside to a much longer than average career. People have a recency bias and remember a slowed Duncan. Like the young kids who only saw the tail of Kobe's career. "He wasnt even that good..." 🤦🏻♂️
