What's the point of announcing it now? Shareholders?

But what “action” does this mean? ICE is looking for any reason to forcefully escalate and they have every protection they could ask for. If the “action” is at all physical, then ICE will just be violent and kill or kidnap more people. In this case the words got to Trump and made him alter course

Idk ICE is showing up seemingly everywhere in the suburbs right now with a blank check for kidnapping. He’s def not perfect but other than Newsom it’s hard to think of another governor who actually has intimidated them to (at least temporarily) slow down ICE raids and the national guard invasion.

totally agree, and honestly that could apply to non-AAA too. hard to boil down any review into one number or one of those categories (though i do support review scores generally), and people love to run with their own assumptions about what a category/score means even if those assumptions are wrong

Yes! And that's why AAA games don't really get terrible scores imo. Most of the high production value games build on proven gameplay formulas and inevitably have more resources for visuals, performance, etc, so there's usually a baseline level of quality even if the rest of the game sucks

Arguably the single stupidest argument I’ve ever read and it’s from the literal United States government

The negative attention is going to happen no matter what they do, but they haven't realized that there's positive attention to go along with it when they do make an effort

Be loud, make it a big protest event and make your resistance the story of the night

can only hope their crash comes just as quickly, it's BRUTAL out here

It’s like they ran project 2025 through chatGPT and asked it to create all those EOs, regardless of what trump said on the campaign trail
