Microsoft thinks that their own games barely need advertising or hype because they’re available on Game Pass anyway. They’re forgetting that those ads would be Xbox ads too. And so the death spiral continues.
Vampire Diaries had multiple spinoffs and out of those The Originals were quite successful, Legacies less so. Legacies was most procedural so there’s that.
You don’t consider it a show because you think it’s aimed at teens but it’s actually aimed at grown up women. Give it a shot, plot is tastefully over the top and production values are pretty good. I cried at the end of The Originals and I’m not ashamed of it!
Better graphics means much bigger budget and that means you’ll get writing for lowest common denominator of consumers as well as microtransactions to extract every last cent from them.
It’s interesting that valid observations presented in the talk were followed by hard-core propaganda that brought us to this point. Yes, the older generations accumulated too much wealth but your answer is to make things worse for the less fortunate in THAT group?
