When I was 12 I owned a VHS that had a Charlie Brown promo with a guy who very clearly said “penis videos” instead of “peanuts videos” and I replayed it so many times I broke the tape.
I just digitized an old copy, tell me this dude didn’t know EXACTLY what he was doing lmao
This is amazing, I have not seen this much delusional glazing from people over a game that has no gameplay shown till now.
Can compete with Playstation fans for sure.
Reminder that Strauss Zelnick enjoys lying to your face.
And if he doesn’t feel like lying, he enjoys saying unhinged things like “lootboxes are free speech”, or “games should be priced by the hour”.
It may sound schizo but I want you to hear me out:
-Ai obsession blows up
-Many companies demand immense amounts of resources and RAM for datacentres
-shortages
-RAM manufacturers charge higher prices with glee.
-People are suffocated by price inflation
Most people are unhappy… but I think Game Publishers LOVE it.
They get to force cloud gaming on you, a true “you will own nothing and be happy”, the “rent a game” experience.
Most players and customers dislike or do not care about cloud gaming because they could afford their electronics.
Now? The game companies, and people like Strauss Zelnick can come back and pitch the same thing again, banking on players’ desperation.
They hate physical copies and DRM-free games for a reason. They want to make ALL the money, and every friend who lends or gives a game they bought to another friend, is money they cannot make.
I know the game they’re playing. I know why Stauss said things like this, likely with a smirk on his face.
They want to rip you off, and they think your misery is funny.
What I think Hollywood really needs is another animated coming of age story following a Hispanic girl discovering some magical world connected to a family secret
