That was my point.

I take it you were never aware of The Sims and its “stuff” expansions?

DLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.

Edit: All those downvoting me clearly weren’t alive during the shareware boom, or during EA’s early attempts to extort players for the pleasure of having a potted plant in The Sims. This outrage over DLC is just an echo chamber of angry gamers who aren’t the target audience anyway.

I’d argue that every Bond has been good in their own way. What brought some of them down is the poor writing, not what the actor brought to the role.

This isn’t a team shooter. It’s a multiplayer Pokemon-style open-world RPG.

My son is also named Bort.

I’d argue that they still meet the criteria, even the seemingly invincible characters, by making their flaw caring about someone close to them. Villains these days often present a danger not because they’re capable of killing the hero, but because the hero has a close personal attachment to someone that isn’t invincible.

We enjoyed Quantumania, but that could have been influenced by us watching it in a 4DX cinema. Sure there were issues, but it can’t really be criticised for setting up Kang as the next big bad as that was the plan at the time.

I long for the days when people didn’t call any concept they disagreed with “political.”

I too like going fishing in my underwear.

I’m in no way condoning Nintendo’s behaviour, but the idea that they don’t make any money from their back catlog is rather misleading given that they have re-released a large number of their older titles to either buy or rent on every console since the Wii, along with releasing mini versions of their older consoles with the titles pre-loaded. It’s not like they locked those games away never to be seen again.

I just need you to say the word woke now, and I’ll have completed my incel bingo card.

What you mean is making games how you want them to be, not the overwhelming majority of gamers. Stop thinking everything is an agenda designed to limit your freedom.

The Quest’s battery is in the front of the device, but behind layers of electronics, screen and lenses. It would have to do more than catch on fire to cause serious damage.

Cosy games are meant to be relaxing, almost stress-free experiences that revolve around repetition and reward playing them in small doses each day. I can understand why hardcore gamers don’t like them, but at the same time they’re not made for them.

I’m guessing they’ll do it Suicide Squad style, with each being introduced to the others via exposition and / or flashbacks.

There’s also Yelena Belova from Black Widow and Hawkeye, Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian and Antonia Dreykov / Taksmaster also from Black Widow, Ava Starr / Ghost from Ant-Man and the Wasp, and Bob.
