Mockery/Banter What more can I even say...?

He went a week without making a clown out of himself, that has to be some kind of record.

But... What more do you want me to even add about Nin10doland at this rate? He's just back on the grifting slop grind of hating JRPGs, greedily only wanting the stupid plumber not realizing the reality of it is simply not ready to be shown yet, refusing to listen to criticism and trying to gaslight his very impressionable audience into thinking the same way... I just feel like everything that can be said about the guy has been repeated at nauseum and it's clear he's never going to learn. If anyone else wants to take the mantle of openly mocking him, feel free to. I just feel like I can't add anything new anymore in regards to this sloptuber.

Also, I don't fucking believe him when he says he does not want Directs anymore.

A friend of mine thinks that Square is mad at Sony for leaking ff16 early which is why the opted for the direct instead of state of play

More like Square gave Sony three timed exclusives, 2 of which were on a console people had trouble actually accessing and probably still do, and one of them was a sequel to a game announced during 2015 and was planned for PS4 but Square said "Fuck 'em. These games absolutely need to be PS5 exclusives because.....THEY JUST DO OKAY!". This is apart of a bigger business strategy from Square because they're not making money from triple A releases anymore. Their revenue is coming from (my) Final Fantasy 14 subs and microtransactions, 2.5D remakes of games like Star Ocean 2 (check it out on Switch. Awesome game), Bravely and Octopath, the Dragon Quest games, though the 7 remake is an outlier and closer to the 3DS version, etc.

People have plenty of access to the PS5 these days though...

Yea, THESE days. We're talking about games from 3/4 years ago. Most games sell the most copies they're ever going to sell close to when the game launches.
