so like. at what point are we going to stop listening to game companies saying "the game was poorly received and didn't meet our sales targets, and that's why we're removing it from storefronts and taking down all the servers mere months or even weeks after release" for titles that had a long expensive development, were barely marketed, and nobody knew they'd even released until after they heard they were getting shut down and couldn't be played/purchased anymore?

I feel like the prevailing takeaway for anyone who doesn't just conclude "yeah, game was pretty mid, makes sense to me" has usually been "this company just has unreasonably impossible sales expectations and treats every project like a failure if it doesn't print a trillion dollars". but these ARE allegedly experienced business execs who aren't complete idiots, and after this most recent debacle with Concord I'm starting to wonder if a bunch of these "games getting wiped out of existence when they underperform instead of just being allowed to persist as they are and maybe improve with time" cases in recent years might be more of a Warner-Discovery type situation, like nuking an entire animated series or film that was worked on for years and preventing it from being sold because it has to be officially unprofitable for the company to use it as a tax write-off. I look at a game that was worked on for 8 years and only made available for 2 weeks, and it's hard not to see the parallels.

great work, AAA games industry, really normal and sustainable stuff you're doing over there as usual

This is a really good comment.

I can't get over how respectful, sensitive, thoughtful, well-researched, and well-presented this article was.

Deeply grateful for Lila Shapiro's excellent journalism, and in awe of the courage, bravery, strength, and conviction of the survivors.

A very articulate comment under this Savage Speaks video about The Boys most recent episode and Hughie's assault.

P.S. This video by Pop Culture Detective is mentioned in Savage Speaks' one and I think it's an important watch.

I honestly DO NOT understand the writers this season. You recognize r*pe is bad. But you NEVER use those words to address what happened to Hughie?! And you never recognize that what happened to him was even r*pe to begin with?! Or that is was traumatizing? And you SA'd him THREE. FUCKING. EPISODES! In a row?! Wtf do you have against Hughie and why can't you recognize that what happened to him was not okay and it's REALLY fucked up that you never properly handled the topic and treated at least one of the instances as a joke. Wtf.

"Saturn Apollo Program

In this photograph, the Saturn I S-I stages for the SA-4, SA-6, and SA-7 missions were being assembled at the Fabrication and Assembly Engineering Division in the Marshall Space Flight Center building 4705. (Left to right: SA-6, SA-7 & SA-4.) Marshall designed, developed and managed the production of the Saturn I and the Saturn V rocket that took astronauts to the moon. SA-4, an uncrewed test flight of the Saturn I booster, was the final of a series of four tests of the Saturn I first stage."

On a separate note (SA mention under the cut)

I'm glad the actual episode writers whoever they are understood the severity of having yet another SA scene in the show by making it VERY clear the impact it has on the victim and not Eric Kripke who apparently thought it was hilarious 🤮

That last scene with Hughie and Annie honestly saved me from just quitting the show for good. I'm glad someone had the decency to say "Hey what happened to Hughie WASN'T okay and we CANNOT just pass this off as a joke."
