My thing is this. By in large, massive layoffs are pointless if the leadership of the company remains in place. They are the one's the screwed up. They lay people off, keep their jobs, and often get bonuses. Sure there are exceptions but it's almost always on leadership. They steer the ship into an iceberg and fire the design engineers.

Most subdued reaction to Tifa
 
 

You are semi right but reading the full context of what this CEO is saying does not paint a good picture...Yes they didn't say they were completely moving away from main games but then you see him saying they are in a unique position to do more in the space with the IP's they have and he throws MK's name out there...Then you suddenly realize why MK1's grind is the way it is in comparison to previous titles.

Are people even still interested in MultiVersus after that whole "Oh sorry this game that some players just poured a lot of money in was just a beta! Deuces!" fiasco?

This makes me happy.

I THINK their logic is this: those games take time and money and care, and even then, aren't guaranteed major sales. Why do that when you can roll these live service dice until you get one that hits? Because one hitting may make up for many that don't. Just like the egregious microtransactions in these games nowadays. The few "whales" more than make up for the majority that are pissed at them.
 
But this gamble is dangerous in a way microtransactions aren't. I think the whole idea of live services is getting a stink on it now, outside of a couple properties that excel at it. If they throw all their eggs in that basket, it'll be a disaster.

Clown? Either your phone autocorrected Cloud to Clown, which given my opinion of him in the OG game is hilarious or you're referencing FF6 and Kefka.

1 week until Contra: Operation Galuga releases. Have been on a Contra binge since the demo dropped, hoping OG stacks up with the great ones. 

It's mind boggling to me the number of younger people who don't seem to really listen to any music at all, so I guess this at least something. But "I don't listen to any music" is a silent generation take if ever I heard one.

In FFVII Rebirth, Cloud has a Toneberry light in his room?
 

This looks interesting

Whoops
 

Fighterz’s rollback is a bit scuffed
 
 
 

Looks like Toys For Bob has freed itself from its corporate masters
 

I can't agree with that since I think the faces for the women in MK1 are a step up.  All the women in MK1 look fine to me with the exception of Milleena when she's going full Tarkat (but if you're into that you'll find no shame from me) and Ashrah ( don't find her attractive but I'm cool with her aesthetically since she looks actually more demon than she did in the first timeline).  And now that I feel the same way I feel about Sareena in this game too...don't find her attractive but I dig her aesthetic overall better.

Best part of FFVII Demo....
 

Did Falke and Ed just have a baby between SFV and SF6 ?
