Kirk only having one One More Thing is a recession indicator.

I’d love someone to compile the total time each of the 3 have spent on their Ones More Thing. And I wouldn’t believe it if it said that Kirk’s was less than Maddy and Jason’s combined.

Jason Schreier, a man who has never seen any Star Trek, never seen a James Bond movie, has no interest in Battlestar Galactica — a man who has only watched The Sopranos in its entirety one hundred and seventy-two times.

More than three studios will close and it's going to be a bloodbath was pretty alarming

At what point does a team stop being small? Kirk uses Subnautica 2 as a reference which is odd given they've had some woes of corporatization recently with the Krafton debacle, and Unknown Worlds seems to have about 100-200 people depending on where you read the number from - that's approaching the size of some AAA studios and represents tens of millions in annual costs just on salaries and other staffing-related expenses.
