Thread: I think Activision made a mistake including BlackOut mode in COD IIII
BLOPS was coming to the Switch at some point, I think it was a victim of the general turmoil the project has been under.

Thread: What Electronic Arts did to Shinji Mikami & Suda51 on 'Shadows of the Damned' was spiteful
To be completely honest, none of this is that unusual for game development, and I don't really see anything "spiteful" in there.

Thread: NPD May 2018: State of Decay 2 #1 software, PS4 tops hardware charts
VERY strong opening for SoD 2. I expect it to have a similar fall off as SoT (with both Gamepass and it’s own initial success behind that), but it shows a real interest in the IP. I haven’t had a chance to touch it yet, but I came to SoD very late and enjoyed it, so looking forward to getting time with this one.

Thread: Will Trump accept the 2020 election results?
It doesn't matter, he has no legal power to "accept" or "not accept" the election. If he physically refuses to leave after the morning of Inauguration Day, he will be trespassing on Federal property, and the Capitol Police & Secret Service will escort him out.

To be fair, taking the information Tesla releases and questioning it is exactly what people should be doing, even IF everything was completely above board. There is nothing wrong with trying to deeply examine and analyze a situation. This is a discussion board after all, if everyone just went "ok, cool," what would there be to discuss?

? Compulsion Games was a cheap pickup that MS had a pre-existing relationship with (that MS thought well of) in a pre-existing Geo that they could use to pad out their studios and increases the impact of this announcement. That's not taking anything away from them, but this announcement is 3 big bets and two small bets. That's why it feels a bit out of place compared to the other announcements.
