He's already overpromising on what he wants his game to have:

“I think that line in Fable – ‘for every choice, a consequence’ – wasn’t delivered on well enough,” Molyneux explained. “I think the possession mechanic that we had in Dungeon Keeper wasn’t delivered on enough. The open-world freedom that we had in Black & White, I think it was good at the start, but it didn’t deliver enough at the end. And Masters Of Albion is an opportunity to mix all those together."

And I’ll tell you the amazing thing – it’s going to fucking work. It really is. It’s like nothing you’ve ever played before, but it’s still unbelievably familiar. It is Black & White, it is Dungeon Keeper, and it is Fable, but it’s a completely new genre. And it shouldn’t really work, but it does.

Haven't played anything of his that has been announced or released after 2012. I still need to give Black and White a try, anyday now.

Tangent: Jami is p2p, so the only risk of going offline is if everyone in the groups go offline. It does lack several quality of life features, though.

5? Nah, man, without us there’d be no modern society. No internet, no software, no cell phones, no satellites, no WMDs, etc.

Why are you making a point for the extermination of neurodivergents?

Don't count on companies fighting back. Something tells me that, the moment a company actually fights the govt, they'll magically remember that said companies are actually violating several state and federal regulations and laws

Not before they make 10 movies about how great their job in bringing democracy to said country was

So you're telling me M$ will kill the xbox division for good?

An Xbox spokesperson said in a statement that they take a long-term view of their business and that success “doesn’t look the same across every project or priority.” - “We look at the business as a whole, balancing creativity, innovation, and sustainability across a diverse portfolio of offerings,” the spokesperson said.

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh my fucking god, these corporate stooges

To account for the lost sales, Xbox offers its developers a credit, which it calls “member-weighted value” and is calculated based on several factors, such as the number of hours that Game Pass players collectively spend on a particular title. The opaque formula seems to favor games in which players can spend the most amount of hours, such as online multiplayer titles, according to people familiar with the calculations.

Interesting, that explains why some studios are getting fucked out of that deal

In July, Hood said on a call with investors that operating income in the Xbox division rose 34% for the quarter that ended in June due to “continued prioritization of higher margin opportunities.” The company is due to report earnings again on Oct. 29.

I'm sure M$ can keep cancelling projects and firing people ad infinitum to ensure a continual rise of operating income /s

Interesting. I looked around what Lula has said and found that, in 2023, he did suggest Ukraine to "cede Crimea in order to stop the war"

In 2025, during a press conference where someone asked him about the Russo-Ukrainian war, after making the case for a ceasefire and negotiating peace, he asked back: "Do you think Putin will leave Crimea?" - although he never supported Russia's claims for other territories, stating "you don't always get what you want".

I can see how that can be taken as support for the aggressor.
