“Transformational strategic and capitalistic options”, “significant cost reductions”, “highly selective approach to investments”… somehow that feels more like (the wrong) people losing their jobs.

That is the case with all mergers and acquisitions. Same with buyouts, takeovers and the like. There are almost always lead to layoffs, restructuring and giant bonuses for board members

It is almost like the sort of person who works in mergers and acquisitions would be some sort of psycho…

Nintendo Switch 2 has had a pretty major leak, with a gaming peripheral company showing off their peripherals for the upcoming console at CES. Nintendo has responded, and only states that this third party wasn’t using official Nintendo hardware. It doesn’t deny that this is the Switch 2.

With the Switch 1 hitting 8 years old in March, and the speculation and rumours. I do think it is safe to say that the Switch 2 will be coming out in 2025. Possibly announced very soon with an April 2025 release date if the rumour mill is accurate.

I don’t play the game myself but a lot of you do so here is some news.

The leaked characters are:

Cyclops

Professor X: Because sometimes you want to look like an asshole on your highlight reel by no-scoping a paraplegic

Colossus

Locus. Who is a teleporting mutant terrorist, she will more or less be a Tracer rip-off. I have no clue why they even chose her.

Jia Jing (Sprite): A Post M-Day mutant with wings and morphing rock skin. I don’t know why NetEase would chose her…

TrapsterPaste Pot Pete: Fantastic Four villain who gave himself an alias that was both derivative (of Piss Pot Pete) and stupid, his name became more famous than the character did. He uses a gun that shoots an extremely powerful adhesive and he isn’t afraid to use it on people who forget he calls himself Trapster now.

Are they? Either way if Forbes is posting them then I doubt they are going to send the MSS after me.

Looking at his credits page on Wikipedia? He was in some Lego Avengers adjacent media but not in the actual game.

Trapster gets used a lot because despite his stupid name he has actually been in some decently planned schemes and hos glue gun is as effective as you think it is given it shoots immobilizing fluid.

Damn, something feels kinda last-minute scummy by Epic to feature “Miku” by Anamanaguchi in the trailer as well as the key art being Miku’s regular design… but they’re only available as paid items in the shop. :thinking:

The Festival Pass gets a Neko-themed Miku outfit and different Miku tracks.

They gave out an update for TS3. What year is this? 2009? It turned out just to be a tiny fix for newer processors. Still.

There will soon be a celebration for the series’ 25th anniversary though. I’ve been wondering what’s coming next after they canceled TS5 while EA still needs Sims to print money for them.
