Allegedly another company has licensed the designs forom Microsoft and we’re supposed to start offering them later this year… Although there isn’t exactly much runway left this year and the only articles talk about the announcement so in January so who knows.

I’m gonna assume that this is because they are Microsoft now. They use a ton contractors on everything these days instead of actual employees but the catch is contractor can only stay there for 18 months and then have to leave or get hired so any experience on the project gets thrown away. Moving to unreal allows them to bring on a wider group of dev contractors so hopefully the ramp up isn’t as long. This is just a theory but the same thing happened to Halo since that’s moving to unreal to. If they just retained actual talent this wouldn’t be a problem and the games wouldnt suck as much even if engine was less advanced.

How about Respawn work on another Titanfall and ‘finish’ a trilogy in a series that isn’t totally overdone.

I was just in Dublin and saw Guinness 0.0 in a bunch of places. Things are definitely shifting if that can exist in Ireland.

I picked up a Razr Plus last week and Im really digging it. The larger outer screen is actually really useful and being able to start any app there and open it up if I need more space works really well. Keeping my fingers crossed that it lasts longer than the first few gens but at least it’s fun for now

I resentfully hung on to it after the take over but soon as a the icon changed from the bird on my phone I just couldn’t and uninstalled it.

That’s my problem too. Weird Twitter just doesn’t seem to be a thing on mastodon , or if it is the lack of an algorithm makes it hard to find the right kind of accounts to follow

The most recent plans included using a hotspot but now they are trying to unbundle everything on their new plans to ‘save’ you money by letting you only pay for what you want. Using a hotspot is costs $10 more a more now if you switch to the new plan. If you actually turned on everything that was already included you’d be paying more than now so you not even really saving anything either.

Yes! I still need to finish the DLC but I loved this game so much.
