Every year became a competition, and it was unsustainable. Companies could spend millions on their presentation only to “lose” and get their reveals drowned out because Sony announced FF7 or Microsoft got Elder Scrolls etc. On all sides there was a rush to be the winner of the year, and it led to more and more CGI trailers of things 5+ years away just for the big reveal moment. I imagine both Sony and Microsoft would prefer to announce individual games as they come throughout the year, so their reveal is the only big gaming news of the week and everyone is talking about it.

Still no pixel remaster discounts ;-;

Women should be equally welcome and safe in all spaces. I don’t think we need to splinter into female-only variations of existing subs unless there’s a specific reason. I’d prefer inclusive communities.

My ex at the time picked up Freedom 2 not long after launch, and I asked him about it after seeing it sat on his shelf. He gave me it to keep since he got so frustrated with the controls and not knowing what to do, but I fell in love. I sucked at the game, but would spend hours gathering materials and building new gear to try out. Since then I’ve played all of the localised games, as well as fan translations and the recent private servers for 1/Tri and Frontier. Can’t wait to try out the online for Dos too.
