Anyone remember this comment from our former favourite Gearbox CEO in 2019?
https://www.bluesnews.com/s/199419/more-randy-pitchford-on-steam-and-the-egsHe thinks that Epic will eventually beat Valve and that in about a decade Steam might be a dying platform, or at least whichever platform is the dominant it will not be Steam. Randy also thinks that the fact that Valve is privately owned is a disadvantage (lol) and compares them with Epic whose outside investors (Tencent, yup, he considers it a good thing) are insisting on constant growth and reinvestment into the business.

Why does Bond have to be some young guy? Daniel Craig was 54 when he did No Time to Die and he pulled it off just fine. Idris Elba is actually younger than Daniel Crag. He could totally pull off Bond.
Cillian Murphy is a nerd. I do not mean that negatively, he just doesn't have the physicality to him nor charisma that Bond requires. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is just...eh. Henry Cavill could do it if he dirtied up his squeaky clean look. I get that it sells but that era of Bond is over. It died with Pierce Bronson. If anything Daniel Crag made Bond more human instead of a walking stereotype which was great for the series.

Yeah, think I heard it was down to Henry Cavill or Aaron Taylor-Johnson but no idea.
I thought it was said that Henry was too old to take the role? Considering whoever takes it is locked in for a few years to put out, what? 3-4 movies?

Watched the trailer but don't recognize the female lead, hope she's up to the task.
Agreed, sure seems like throwing the BoS in too quick, there's only 8 episodes.
It's gonna feel awfully rushed, maybe should have brought them in as a season ending, cliff hanger.
The trailer looks great.
I'm glad it's dropping on us all at once.
Enjoy the show.
