The live service space is so crowded now that it would be difficult for even Naughty Dog to break into it successfully. Not to mention the fatigue around live service games lately. They made the right call by not trend chasing.

I think both ideas can be true: that game development is a complex, creative endeavor and that as a product, consumers can be dissatisfied with a video game they paid $70 for.
Lately, I'm finding myself waiting for sales on AAA games because so many release in a buggy, incomplete state. This paid dividends with games like Jedi Survivor, that had a big number of bugs and performance issues at launch and plays decently now several months later.
This was my favorite announcement from TGA.
Man, fuck Embracer for scooping up Studios without a good long term plan to just to treat them as disposable.
Good. The Fandom pages are always slow and bloated to view.
Added one to the positivity pile. This game is a brilliant pick up and play game that is very undervalued for the content it contains.
Honestly, Boomers can go kick rocks. Millennials being blamed for years for their missteps was incredibly exhausting. Maybe they should claim responsibility for what lead us here today.
I'm calling bullshit. Most responsible sites let users know in advance if downtime is expected.
Most of what you said is spot on except for FF16. FF16 is an action RPG that is somewhat of a fusion between Devil May Cry 5 and Final Fantasy with Game of Thrones style storytelling. It's currently PS5 exclusive but will probably get a PC port down the line.
The game that's possibly a prequel to 1 is the spinoff game Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. I haven't finished SoP yet but it definitely seems that way.
What a disaster. I feel sorry for the fans who were lied to by ABK on what they were receiving with OW2. It definitely feels like the point of moving to OW2 was just to pivot to a more exploitive monetization model.
Aside from the occasional Google search that leads me to reddit, I do not post on reddit anymore. Not going to invest my time in a site that will become more unstable overtime or recognize user/moderator contributions to said site.
