Thanks for joining us on the stream! With the power of friendship and one magic gun, we were able to stop Balto and save Cultura, leaving Zafora as the city's rightful leader! We also started Ion's route, so join us next week as we learn more about the mysterious fighter!

every time big U.S. companies merge they make a bunch of clearly empty promises, only for the net result to be a bunch of layoffs and shitter overall product quality

at which point everybody acts surprised and learns absolutely nothing from the experience
Microsoft’s recent layoffs contradict what the company promised of its merger, the FTC says.
The Federal Trade Commission complained to a federal appeals court on Wednesday that Microsoft’s layoff of 1,900 employees in its video games division went against its representations in court as it fought to acquire Activision Blizzard. The move undermines Microsoft’s claims that the companies would continue to operate independently, the FTC said, and will make it harder to get “effective relief” if the agency succeeds in its administrative proceeding.
