Re: Review: Agatha Christie - Death On The Nile (Switch) - Monsieur Poirot Shimmies Into The '70s In Style

This game has little in common with the original Poirot. I understand that the developers want to make it more accessible to a modern audience, but I’m not sure if that might end up being counterproductive for the die-hard Poirot fans - and there’s quite a few of them. I haven’t yet decided whether I’ll buy the game. I canceled my preorder after watching the trailer. Maybe I’ll wait for a discount.

Re: Poll: It's The Year Of Splatoon 3 - Are You Excited?

In Splatoon 1 I have 700 hours, in Splatoon 2 I have 3400 hours. I'm a hard fan so I'm really looking forward to S3. I'm not interested in the story mode, I never enjoyed it and Salmon Run is very boring. I only enjoy ranked (I'm X rank in all mods) and sometimes league is fun too, when quality players get together. My only request for S3 is to improve matchmaking, because the western lobbies are ridiculously bad, I would appreciate a more challenging X rank for players. And option to turn off the music would be very nice.

First of all, I wouldn't care about the working conditions of the developers. Nobody cares about the working conditions of shop workers when they go to buy food, nobody cares about the working conditions of flight engine designers or fridge repairers. We are the customers and we have money to pay. I'm sorry, I don't care that someone was harassed or worked overtime, that's for companies to deal with. I want to pay money for great products, that's all. Nobody cares about my feelings at work either and that's fine. Because if an employee is unhappy, they should find another job or try another company. Game developers are employees just like everyone else.
