CD Projekt Spent Roughly $125 Million Turning Cyberpunk 2077 Around Post-Launch
  • CD Projekt announced on October 5 that the expansion starring Idris Elba cost a hefty 275 million Polish Zloty (around $62.7 million) to develop and approximately 95 million Polish Zloty (around $21.6 million) to market.

    I'm not saying repairing and adding missing functionality isn't a good size portion of that cost, but calling it a $125 million cost based on the cost of the expansion and marketing which were already planned regardless of how well the initial release did is miss-leading at best.

  • once again, reddit emailing an address they believe is owned by Andrew Tate
  • Why not then post the personalized emails? This particular email just doesn't look incriminating to me. Sure it is POSSIBLE that someone at Reddit specifically added him to the email list, but that's hardly the most likely explanation.

  • once again, reddit emailing an address they believe is owned by Andrew Tate
  • ITT: People complaining about an automated email that gets send to a huge largely uncurated mailing list. This is so very obviously not an email someone at reddit personally addressed to Andrew Tate, let alone personally selected him to be added to the mailing list.

    Seriously, people, there's plenty to complain about without making up new stuff.

  • So Much for ‘Learn to Code’
  • It’s almost a philosophical question of whether I can replace us though. Because for it to be anything more than a tool it needs real intelligence, compassion, etc. Basically it would need a conscious.

    I’m certain it’ll replace some jobs without that, just because being a tool it’ll make us more efficient and that efficiency will eliminate jobs. But I’m not seeing it replace or assimilate entire industries at this stage.

  • Cal Kestis actor confirms Star Wars Jedi 3 during Comic Con panel
  • I can't wait to try out part 3 for 2 hours before deciding this still isn't for me.

    I want a good and immersive Jedi game so bad. These games just feel like you're in an amusement park that's channelling the game you want but not really trying to deliver it, it's just a vehicle to get to the next bouncy mushroom or conveniently placed wall jump.

  • Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem
  • A lot of those problems are true in the US/Canada as well (maybe more so; eg. pension). But unlike the US/Canada you get compensated for lunch and transit. AND you get a huge amount of time off. That alone is already drastically better than what you get in the US/Canada. Sure, if you make big bucks that's mostly moot, but most people don't.

  • Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis asked judge for leniency in Danny Masterson's rape sentencing
  • The person who committed these crimes and the person who his friends describe cannot coexist. One is a fraud, an image he means to project. It’s not hard to figure out which is which..

    Of course you don’t want to admit to yourself or others that this person you care about is a monster. I feel bad for his friends and family, and of course the victims.

  • Walmart cuts starting hourly pay for some workers
  • “Consistent starting pay results in consistent staffing and better customer service while also creating new opportunities for associates to gain new skills from experience across the store and lay the groundwork for their career regardless of where they start,”

    Ok miss PR person. Please explain your rationale cause that shit makes no sense.

  • Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'
  • To be fair people who pay thousands are probably perfectly fine with Starfield, although they may have to be satisfied with 120fps instead of 240fps.

    The ones mainly hurting are the ones with similar budgets as console gamers. And console gamers are hardly unfamiliar with performance issues.

    Being a pc gamer has much more to do with what ecosystem you get to tap into, rather than how much you’re spending.

  • IGN | Rotten Tomatoes Under Fire After PR Firm's Scheme to Pay Critics for Positive Reviews Uncovered
  • I’ve also noticed the opposite effect. Where if a movie is leaning into being plain and easy to watch you’ll have critics rating it down cause they wanted it to do some artsy stuff. Definitely feels like critics are more on the artsy side of the scale, which is fine but doesn’t always align with what I’m looking for.

  • IGN | Rotten Tomatoes Under Fire After PR Firm's Scheme to Pay Critics for Positive Reviews Uncovered
  • Movie / TV reviews are such a shit show. I rarely find myself agreeing with the averaged out rating.

    These days I’ll just make sure the rating is above say 30 and beyond that I’ll rely on trailers and reading actual reviews. But finding new movies and tv shows to watch is quite a chore as a result.

    I hope someday soon AI can be employed to give you real personalized recommendations that don’t suck. But realistically it’ll just be more shitty algorithms meant to serve the interests of the highest bidder.
