I'm not so sure. Briefly perusing the AC Wikipedia page, it doesn't seem like they're losing money even on their worst performers. Hell, it says Valhalla, which came out in 2020, had the best release week of any AC game they've ever made.

Even if the games suck, they're not aimed at the sort of person who can recognize that.

Not in their minds. Making something good would cost more this quarter. Might make more profit when the game comes out, but that probably takes years and requires hiring talented game designers, so instead they choose to make a cheap game now and release it to the same type of people who buy Madden every year.

I mean, look at Halo Infinite. Guarantee the execs are wishing they'd released some garbage like a year after Halo 5 instead of spending all that time just to make it passably okay. I doubt that quarter's sales numbers would be significantly lower.

There's a ghost in that house that, for a brief moment, was SO excited about finally being set free, until they just put the damn shoes back in

Being food motivated is exactly why I do this sometimes... Everything tastes better when you're hungry, and you can eat more of it

The only reason Facebook doesn't sound dumb is that we've been saying it for like 15 years

Took me a while to realize there is no white cat in this pic

I wonder if switching up the order more often would be a good way to remind everyone that every letter is a separate group of people

Mmm tar flavor

It's a habit that's easy to build if you're used to windows. Windows really likes to let applications (including task manager) prevent you from shutting down. Especially on slower machines, it will often fake you out by giving you the "shutting down" screen without telling you about the application it's going to fail to close until like 30 seconds after you hit the button, so you come back to a still-on machine.

Literally just asking you to explain your own claim of "cache makes a huge difference for gaming," and instead you walk that back, pretend like I said anywhere that ALL I do with it is game, and get sassy on top of that. Smdh

You said that buying a CPU like mine, with a slightly smaller cache, was a bad idea specifically for gaming. I'm not clear on why it makes a big difference.
