So Pokemon is finally getting the patch it needs just to function properly. It's just tied to a $400 console.
The majority of the Switch 2's marketing has focused on ports and upgrades for old games. Which a Steam Deck still does better. And at least Valve won't brick my system when their profit margin is threatened.
I see what you mean. There's definitely been a lot of marketing overreach with the franchise. But there's something about Final Fantasy that makes it a money-printing machine. Maybe it's the long legacy, nostalgia, or the fact that they've been with it since the beginning, but FF marketing campaigns have (almost) always been wildly successful in a way that Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, or even Dragon Quest (in the US) can't live up to. Just look at Kingdom Hearts, Super Smash Bros, and even that Louis Vuitton promo with Lightning.
Not that I'm trying to sell you on this set. I get that a lot of people don't like Universes Beyond.
It's finally gotten way out-of-hand, even for me. Gen XI will be the first main series Pokémon games in 30 years I won't be pre-ordering, let alone even buying. First-party Switch games were already way too expensive, rarely ever going on sale, and now we may be moving to an $80 standard. And it seems the main selling point of the Switch 2 in the latest Direct was a bunch of ports. At that price point, there's no reason not to just get a Steam Deck and sail the high seas for first-party titles. At least Valve won't brick my device if I hurt their feelings.
FIN is the best-selling MtG set of all time and there hasn't even been a prerelease event yet. Blowing up the budget is plenty justified in this case.
Of course it's Mike Lee.
Fuck Mike Lee.
Experts need to stop being nice.
Everyone knows he already has what he's going to market as the "cause," and it's vaccines. Which he'll spend another three years telling the country that it's better that their children die in adolescence of a completely preventable disease than risk becoming autistic, no matter how many times that supposed link is disproven, siphoning resources away from our autistic kids that are doing well, even thriving, with the assistance and accomodations they're now at risk of losing.
It's not "unrealistic." It's fucking moronic and malicious. At best, this whole thing is part of some overall eugenics scheme to justify this administration's genocide goal. Call this shit out.
Not if you strip them of their citizenship first!
See, and look how he turned out!
