Sorry if I came across as nasty, my disdain is entirely with Rockstar and T2. After GTAIV, and the exceptional story and DLC we got many of us were excited to see what DLC was in store for GTAV. To have Rockstar to walk back the planned DLC in favour pushing shark cards and micro-transactions in GTA Online left many of us feeling pretty betrayed at the time.

Regarding the launch, GTAV originally came out on Xbox 360 and PS3 in September 2013, then on a new console generation in November 2014, and didn't come to PC until April 2015. Many were doubtful that a company with the resources and talent available to Rockstar needed such a delay, and it stank of another tactic to maximise the number of people buying multiple copies.

Sensible business decisions definitely make the best games.

You mean aside from abandoning RDR Online, cancelling GTA V singleplayer DLC in favour of GTA Online shark cards, intentionally delaying the PC release of GTA V to maximise the number of people who would buy the game more than once because of FOMO, absolute dog shit support and punishing their community by crushing the modding community? I'm not sure.

I just started watching this and Noah absolutely nailed the role.

"Although there might be public skepticism of the emerging technology in the legal profession at this time, “we will be worried in the future about the competence of lawyers who don’t use these tools,” Perlman predicted."

It's pretty clear from this shitshow they should be worried about lawyers who are using these tools.

They definitely don't realise that.

That was after the original name became... problematic.

Has anybody been watching Monarch so far, and have any thoughts on the series so far. I've enjoyed the moments where the muto are around, but I'm not entirely sold on the whole shadow organisation tied up with the muto and just generally being kind of generically secretive. I enjoy it enough to see the season out before forming any big opinions, but I am interested on what others have thought so far.
