I'm generally on the "don't signal boost hate from irrelevant losers" but I can't blame anyone for staying on the BriWu beat, just a fascinatingly stupid person

I know they probably wanted to end the show with the shadowdrop of the 2D game so people didn't click off to go look for it or whatever but I can't stop thinking about the "just one more thing" segment of that Sony stream was an announcement of a remake they've barely started making

I am curious to see how RGG responds to the Kiwami 3 fallout, they've had controversies and games with mixed receptions before but this is their first ever true Hard Miss and now we find out how a studio so accustomed to acclaim deals with that

Watching Konami, of all fucking companies, offer bundles of Metal Gear Solid Delta with Metal Gear Solid 3 HD for an affordable price on Steam, when Sega is making Yakuza 3 Remastered inaccessible outside of a package and forcing their remake of questionable quality on everyone instead.

got a special customer VIP ACCESS email from Gathering Games to order EB-03 and it's all for the unique privilege to pay scalper prices from a retail store lmao
(they're doing orders through email not the website so this doesn't necessarily mean they're sold out for real, I suspect they aren't!)
