apparently Bethesda and Blizzard have more similar management styles than they appear at first: https://www.thegamer.com/elder-scrolls-online-dev-transphobia-deadnaming-allegations-bethesda-zenimax/

quote:

A former Elder Scrolls Online developer has spoken out about her experience as a transgender woman at ZeniMax Online Studios. In a four-hour video, former ESO Media Artist Leona Faren shares audio recordings that appear to confirm that management misgendered her. She also claims that her manager repeatedly outed her to workers who didn’t know she was transgender, and pressured her into resigning when she needed time off work for gender-affirming care.

After a year of contacting ZeniMax HR about her experiences, Faren says she took her complaints to Bethesda corporate, expecting a different result. Instead, she says the company viewed her as a “liability”, and offered a resignation package that would cover her upcoming surgeries. However, taking the deal would also mean signing away her right to bring a discrimination lawsuit against Bethesda. Due to this, Faren says Bethesda was “holding [her] surgeries hostage” in a bid to force her out of the company.

MS should have bought epic instead of kotick to move all the epic launchers into game pass. i hope they do.

consolidate it all imo so I can play every game for free on $9.99 per month

But seriously, there's going to be launchers within launchers forever because everyone wants their own thing that they can manage.

You still need 3 different launchers for a Bethesda game because of mods.

their big buying spree is good no matter what because either We The Gamers get cheap access to aaa games or they destroy the aaa gaming industry entirely. win-win

in JA2 the questions only determine your perks, you always get to do points manually


and the game is hard as gently caress starting out

Yeah, it uses the original Deus Ex template for fights in that you'll loving miss everything until you learn how to exploit the game's mechanics. Also you don't have any rifles and will need to crawl around like a coward hoping you don't get hit before you reach a good firing spot because enemies can interrupt you seemingly at random.

Meanwhile, Jagged Alliance 3 is hard but mostly fair.
