@axelhander I'd suggest reading some labor history, fixed duration strikes have accomplished plenty. Anything from Haymarket Books should do. Calling workers attempting to improve their situation LARPers is quite obnoxious in the comment section of a Nintendo site. Takes a lot of guts to do what they did.
@axelhander it's a warning. Ubisoft lost an amount of money that matters to them by losing 3 days of work.
@Coalescence not that easy to just leave a job. People have healthcare, rent, kids, etc. They're not trying to fix the company, they're trying to get a raise. Yea ideally leave crappy companies but this is why we need unions, there aren't enough non-crappy companies to go around.
They really messed up getting newcomers into the series. Where's Prime 2 and 3? Why would anyone play Prime 1 and then straight to 4? Why did they make a sequel 18 years later that feels like it's 25 years old? Who knows, RIP Prime series, no crossover big N movie franchise here, NEXT!
@Friendly I don't think "decided" is the right word, much more a gradual, organic process from the poor on up, rather than some kind of centralized decision-making.
Saying "I'll get it when it's updated" is enabling this anti-consumer bull. The plan is shamelessly profit off review-ignorant parents as they buy Xmas gifts for their kids. Ew.
@Moistnado yea they can say 4k on switch 2 all they want but the way I see it I already paid 450 dollars for that upgrade.
@kirbyo my recommendation, as someone with 3 kids, is to take up shmups. Nothing better for gameplay density, even if you only have 10 minutes you're making progress toward a 1cc or high score. And the switch has an incredible selection. Arcade genres in general, really.
First thought was why does the tron character have samus' arm cannon. I'm actually more concerned with the first person parts we've seen, that enemy design, behavior, and combat looks exactly the same as 20+ years ago
If it was just me I would not buy this. But then I feel like I'm depriving my children of one of the best platformers ever with Galaxy 2. Just had to pay $80 for an express sd card too...ugh
oh no some people had to try more than once, change the game, quick! Why is too hard taken as an immediate threat to sales, but too easy is completely ignored. I don't want my playthrough changed to appease the lowest common denominator gamer.

Re: Ubisoft Staff Push Back Against Company Restructure With Three-Day Strike
@axelhander withholding labor is the most powerful tool workers have. What do you suggest instead, besides "get another job."
