Yeah like sorry what do you guys expect? It's a twitchy FPS with loadout building (something I've been interacting with in FPSs since Starseige: Tribes) that's been coming out every Fall since 2007. Like you very specifically make sure your players know it won't be new or different.

its incredibly funny that all the good will from the monumentally revamped 2020 release was gone up in smoke within three years, mostly because the executives were afraid of making a campaign that said things. they legitimately would have made more money not releasing anything new than they did in 3

No please don’t be mean to to the giant corporation with more money than God that can literally destroy people’s careers and livelihoods depending on the mood they’re in that day, they’re just barely scraping by Do you know how small $1,000,000,000 is? That’s only enough for *three* mansions

Oh noooooooo, the choice between an incel filled lobby filled with sweats and unemployed folks, ORRRRRRR heading back to Hyrule to beat Ganondorf and saving Princess Zelda…. I’m not saying what I’m doing, but my Tri-Force of courage will be shining 🤣

help our game we release every year, for longer than some of our players have been alive, isn't being heralded as the next coming of gaming jesus, not even after half of it is made with genAI and still costs 100 dollars! *wipes tears with my billions of dollars as i lay off another 2000 employees*
