PlatinumGames claims that it is still alive.

I wonder if thereā€™s merit to me posting my (somewhat serious but mostly not) thoughts/predictions on what 2025 will bring news-wise and then at the end of the year we can all come back and discuss (i.e. yall roast me) how much i got right

Any interest in that?

Metal Gear Rising director Kenji Saito, Astral Chain director Takahisa Taura, and Anarchy Reigns director Masaki Yamanaka, all removed the ā€œPGā€ from their social media handles last month.

Asked if he was concerned that Platinum might react negatively to Clovers, especially considering it was actively hiring former employees, Kamiya said he was more concerned for the future of his former team members there.

What Iā€™m hearing is yes, Platinum Games is still alive, but no itā€™s not

Yes please!

Oh, and yeah, @Funbil, ā€œclaimsā€ is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I am furiously pressing X to doubt.

Ok. Seems cool enough and desired enough To do so one more question: should it be its own thread or contained in this bigger one?

Where should Nashtradamasā€™ 2025 news predictions go?

I think it would spin off into enough discussion to warrant a separate thread

what the heck is going on with this game seriously. I played the free trial a few months ago and it was barely functional

Surely Star Citizen is just a money laundering scheme right?

I just canā€™t believe itā€™s still a thing going on. I am having a good time observing all the Star Citizen drama from the outside though. Very fascinating stuff.

Will video game likers ever learn to stop spending their money on things that arenā€™t finished?

I just assume that with that amount of money, time, and active players (who youā€™d think would resent getting ripped off) the game would eventually happen through like a geological process, but guess not. It was way rougher than any early access game Iā€™ve played I was genuinely surprised by that

interesting thing to say as ive been considering a piece on Em-8er

Iā€™ve never heard of that one, but based on name alone it sounds like an AI-generated crypto Ponzi scheme. That saying about a fool and their money keeps ringing true.

ohhhhhhhhhhh buddy
oh man
you blessed individual
i envy that you have never been forced to learn what Em-8er is.

Well crap, now Iā€™m morbidly curious. Does this wind up going down the path of the typical weirdo gamergate-type thing? If so Iā€™ll stay blissfully ignorant.

nailed it in one
