Baldur's Gate 3's Larian proved players “are not stupid” and want more “deep-a** CRPGs” instead of AAA schlock, says beloved indie publisher [Dave Oshry of New Blood Interactive]

Yes, Hasbro wants to make another Baldur’s Gate game that continues to “raise the bar” without Larian

Pfffffff.... Hasbro has a great reputation for being greedy as fuck, and completely deaf blind and dumb to what fans love and enjoy about established IPs. So I'm sure whatever travesty they release will be just great 👍

Big mistake rule

Reply in thread

Went along with a friend when she went car shopping, had a nice lady sales rep, really knew her stuff. They were close to signing and the assistant manager comes over and sends the rep my friend was dealing with away. Guess he thought he would swoop in and seal the deal, take all the glory....and the commission.
Guy refused to look at or speak to my friend, everything was directed at me. Got to the point where I asked quite loud why he was speaking to me, I have nothing to do with the sale. He STILL wouldn't look at or speak to my friend. So we left.
Friend went back a few days later to see if the lady rep was there. Apparently the assistant manager's shenanigans were being watched by someone from the regional office, and he'd got himself shit-canned from the largest dealer group in the country. Love to see it.

Email came out of nowhere

I made a complaint last year about one of their emails having a giant banner saying "MAKE GAMING GREAT AGAIN!" they made mildly appropriate noises. Seemed like the person on the other end really just wanted me to fuck entirely off asap.

It's a pin job

Someone, can't remember who...so if it's you (not necessarily you OP, a general you) put your hand up, in a different Luigi thread a month or so ago had a pet theory that I think probably holds a reasonable amount of water.

The theory is that that CEO was knocked off by a paid hitman, possibly contracted by his spouse, and Luigi happened to be picked up as a scapegoat because the NYPD, or the arresting officer, was complicit/paid off a tidy sum.

With this coming up, it's even less of an unlikely scenario.

My wife does this in bed, doom scrolls with the brightness up so high it literally wakes me up, and then wonders why she has a hard time sleeping.
