Ha! Remember this?
Simply the worst adaptation ever of Street Fighter...except for Raul Julia's M. Bison, who single-handedly made the movie watchable. As in he's the only reason to actually watch the movie, it's just so bad otherwise

Eh Mass effect died with 3's botched ending. They thought they could do without what made them famous (Shepard) and it bit them in the butt. Kind of like what Star Wars did to Luke.

It helped he was doing it for his kids. AFAIK, he basically showed them a list of proposed projects, and told them to choose which one they wanted to remember as his last. They picked Street Fighter, and while Raul Julia knew little about the franchise and maybe found the script more than a bit campy, decided to go as theatrical as possible.
Like I said, he made a bad film watchable, if not enjoyable. M. Bison was the true star of that film thanks to Raul Julia.
Much to the rage of all the right people, Kingdom Come Deliverance: 2's story trailer came out and is being lauded. It appears to please its core audience whilst maintaining historic authenticity, which is a frankly bizarre deviation from modern gaming's method of doing things.
On a hunch, I looked up the company/Dev team Warhorse studios, and my hunch proved correct when I saw that they are a private, not public, company.

It's facts like this that makes me not support modern day style economics. I think publicly traded companies should be banned or heavily controlled. Private companies should still be allowed to do things. But all power should be in the hands of a person, a human who is actually accountable for the actions that it takes.
It's one of the reasons I like Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Still privately owned.
I wouldn’t quite agree with banned, but the public company model is simply not sustainable in the long run. Maximising shareholder value, which the public company is incentivised to do, is to get results today with tomorrow’s resources, whilst chasing endless growth. That’s how these idiots bought the “wider audience/modern audience” con and why they are still buying it.
Private meanwhile, for all its faults, can be happy with its bottom line being met regardless of quarterly report. Profits go up and profits go down, but so long as enough is made the company can keep on trucking. The name of the game is more long term wealth generation that will keep the company in business for years hence.

Well, no, it just depends on industry. The hardware industry really does have infinite growth. Even in the worst case, new people are always buying their first phone or computer.

No. It makes no sense to punish well performing public companies, which can create far more value than if they were private, just because some of them are performing badly. That's like cancelling a race just because almost everyone loses.
