    @dragoonmike: I'm not sure how that's going to work given the whole Coronavirus thing. I imagine we'll see how the NBA handles season ticket holders and that will be how all sporting events push forw...

  • thepyrethatburn posted a message on the post WWE Raw Will Air Live Without Audience Due To Coronavirus.

    @Blk_Mage_Ctype: I mentioned that on Facebook. Without the audience who are often as much of the show as a wrestler, the whole thing becomes an indie house show.As I said, WWE should just cancel for ...

  • thepyrethatburn posted a message on the post WWE Raw Will Air Live Without Audience Due To Coronavirus.

    While I know that the WWE has a long history of treating the talent as disposable contractors, maybe they should just take a hint from the NBA and give the wrestlers a couple weeks off.This way, not ...

    They never really fully recovered from the 2006 announcement. Before that, companies went just because "everyone went". As such, even when companies had nothing to show, they would still go solely ...

    I'm not sure that I'm surprised.In 2019, critic praise did not really translate into movie success and critic scorn did not translate into movie failure. Last night BoP had a 92% (which has since dr...

    As someone who watched the original in the theater, this both pulls on the heartstrings and feels cynically manipulative.

  • thepyrethatburn posted a message on the post Battleborn Is Shutting Down And Will Be Completely Unplayable.

    @sbargovox3: While Zorlac may be antagonistic, the point is still a truth. The TOS issue and "License to play vs owning the game" has already been taken to the courts and determined there. Even Stea...

    @Dragon_Nexus: That's kinda what happened with the Fox-Disney feud for a long time. Eventually, Disney finally just grew up and gave a check to Fox and said "Write the amount that you think your ent...

  • thepyrethatburn posted a message on the post Game Informer Editorial Affected During Huge GameStop Lay Offs.

    @gotrekfabian: It's kind of like EA. Some of the hatred is well-deserved but some of it is overblown. Having dealt with other places, Gamestop's buyback/used game selling policies weren't really an...

  • thepyrethatburn posted a message on the post Game Informer Editorial Affected During Huge GameStop Lay Offs.

    @Red_Frog:My younger brother still picks up Game Informer whenever he stops by a Gamespot which is kind of off and on. I kinda think that's neat from a nostalgia perspective (By way of reference, he'...

  • thepyrethatburn posted a message on the post Gears 5 Doesn't Include Smoking Or Tobacco Use, Here's Why.

    Feels like the whole thing was caused by Rod seeing the Truth Initiative story and immediately going into virtue signalling mode.

  • thepyrethatburn posted a message on the post EA Struggles With Perception That "We're Just A Bunch Of Bad Guys".

    @skippert: The funny thing with Apex is that everyone on Gamespot was applauding the developers because "they stood up to EA and made the game they wanted to make". Now that the game is failing, it w...
