First things cut in a bad economy are entertainment. Why be surprised?

I'm surprised at how many of you haven't figured out that half the reason that the video game industry is in a crash, is because they incentivized forced diversity at the cost of quality. Pushed immutable characteristics are prime hiring qualities, instead of merit, ability, skill. Often becoming an incestuous circle-jerk within the company to the point that core people have quit. Decided that writing bland, terrible stories with flat protagonists, flat antagonists, with predictable outcomes with the depth of a 0.25" clear puddle. It's worse than Hollywood, and they have nobody to blame but themselves by propping up and playing with shit companies like SBI.

Guess that's why the same people pushing it, hate things like Frieren or Berserk. Where there are good female protagonists, good male protagonists, equal opportunity antagonists, and the entire story revolves around not their race, sex, gender, who they're screwing, and how they break the 4th wall while going full Mary Sue. Can anyone name any game made in the last 8 years where you empathized with sub-plot characters you know almost nothing about? And were interested in knowing more about, because they were interesting. Not because they were quirky weirdos, who did weird things, while flogging over something not tied to the story.

Gee. Invest in people who create nothing, cause division, damage products, hurt the entire industry? I wonder why nobody gives a shit.

If you're supporting the DEI hires, you're supporting the Hollywoodificiation of video games with less diversity, more religious-like preaching.

Frustrating that Bill C-63 has provisions to (#1) "protect minors against online sexual abuse, extortion and exploitation" and (#2) "The bill amends the Canadian Human Rights Act to specify that posting hate speech online is discrimination".

Aren't these two issues mutually exclusive, for the sake of political discussion and creating laws? These are completely different crimes, with different motives of the accused, affecting victims in different ways, and require different systems and tools for the online services to e moderated.
It's worse than that. It also allows trials outside of the criminal court system, it blocks defendants from having the right to face their accusers. And criminalizes up to life in prison for wrong speech.

What can I say? I warned that Trudeau's government would push this 2 years ago.

Poor walt had to go back over 2 decades to dig up that bit of dirt. Why you gotta burst his bubble like that.
How interesting, for a group of people who supposedly hate foreign interference and election meddling. You guys sure are defending a group that's been busted repeatedly doing that, including with members who operated as unregistered foreign agents. Then again if after all these years you still believe that OK hand sign is a 'white supremacist' symbol, you deserve to be lied to.

Here's hoping that the ADL dies the same death that CAIR has, and the SPLC has. Slowly, with them burning all their goodwill relegating them to nothing but flappy mouth pieces that only fools listen to.

If the most recent Saints Row hadn't been since a colossal fuckup, I wonder if their fate would have been different.
They were already fucking up remember the two or was it three games prior that were also trash? They decided to pander to a tiny audience, who won't buy their stuff. And pissed on gamers that made their bank, and didn't want another fortnite clone/etc. The idiot running their social media account was a good indicator that the company was already dead.

Half of you in the last two years have gone full-on extremist; and don't even realize it. That's pretty damn sad.

Government funded means money for it comes out of a government fund - BBC is funded by license every household pays like it is in Germany. So the label is factual wrong.
It's accurate then. It comes from the government, as they're the ones who collect the license fee, which is legislated by law. Then there's the other 50% odd percent that comes from multiple governments, including the US, Canada and EU. Then there's all the government oversight organizations that look after it, over it, or ensure compliance like Oxcom.

The CBC is also government funded, being a crown corporation, with it's leadership selected by the government, overseen by the government.

Local man upset, that state media is labeled as state media. Even NPR knows that it's so biased that it's been bleeding people since 2005. Here's hoping that the CBC, CTV, Global, and all the other state funded media here in Canada get the same. And nearly all media does get federal funds in Canada.

You've turned into a bitter angry person in the last 2.5 years.

You missed the part where it was dismissed with prejudice. You know, exactly the same thing that happened to Brad Wardell. That reams of you now get to eat crow about, that's 2 for 2 failures.

Hope the ones who were screeching over this little band wagoning really enjoy the mess they've created. Never go with feelings over fact.

Tell me how you don't understand that government censorship is wrong, by doing so in such a spectacular fashion. Their comment is closer to the mark than you think, since that along with the other bill will allow the state to actively censor people.

SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!!
You're a decade and change late. The problem of course is that TRA's believe they have huge numbers, anyone who's paid attention knows that's a pile of crap. They hoped that people would support them, instead, it's the exact opposite because of their actions over the last 2 years. Getting to the point that even the LGB community has had enough, feminists have had enough, and normies have had enough. So, now that their "boycott" failed, their only option left is to try to ruin the game.

Should have listened, it's way too late now. You can taste the backlash building over TRA's, caused by their own actions. This will simply push more people against them, and the crying will be massive.

The only beef I have with this game is the sloppy performance because of lazy devs.

Could've implemented DirectStorage 1.1 with GPU decompression, functionally the same as the PS5 version to minimize VRAM over usage ( pre-caching instead of streaming on the fly ), did not, so now 8GB and even 10GB GPUs struggle.

Could've optimized the RT implementation instead of relying on AI upscalers to try ( and fail ) to hide the shit implementation, same as The Witcher 3, did not.
FYI try turning on or off GPU Planning(Win10)/Optimize for windowed games(Win11). That'll help a lot.
