dunno about budget, I’m just taking in terms of the demand for these types of movies.

I have a feeling it’s because zany animated movies are an easier sell to kids.

until the demand for it skyrockets. then it’s either gone or just as expensive as all the tariffed coffee.

agreed. I’m just saying “simple” or “complex” has nothing to do with it.

you can have simple games without predatory monetization. that’s what OP is talking about.

ES6 will be fine. Starfield was doomed from the beginning because of the silly space exploration structure.

unless you already played it and want something new.

wasted too much time on starfield, FO76, and mobile games. that’s all they have released since 2018. and if you don’t count VR editions or special editions then you’re back to 2016 with FO4.

8 years of junk. They could have made TWO elder scrolls in that time.

this could be very sensationalist because as far as I know, we have no idea what the absolute numbers are, the trend is measured in percentages:

Numbers represent search interest relative to the highest point on the chart for the given region and time. A value of 100 is the peak popularity for the term. A value of 50 means that the term is half as popular. A score of 0 means there was not enough data for this term.

So it’s true that the peak is today, but that could be only a few people. Considering most of October the daily number was “0” (not enough data), I’m guessing the absolute numbers are fairly low. Anyone know how many datapoints google needs to publish data on trends?

All that sounds like your subjective view not based on data. Not saying the DNC is perfect by any means, but it’s clear the economy was by far the #1 issue in this election. I mentioned exit polls earlier, and also Trump was way up compared to 2020 even in extremely rural counties. Israel, Cheney, Stein, etc have nothing to do with that.

exactly. I think whoever was president for the last 4 years was going to take the blame for the massive pandemic inflation and get voted out. They were destined for failure from the beginning.

Looking at exit polls, people were far more concerned with the economy than anything else. I don’t think Israel mattered much to average people. Biden/Harris got fucked with pandemic inflation and people are too dumb to realize it had nothing to do with them. And that will be further reinforced because inflation is under control now so Trump will look great having done nothing whatsoever.

the county trends in PA WI and MI compared to 2020 are looking bad. don’t get your hopes up.

what specific facts were down voted?

the county trends in swing states compared to 2020 are extremely discouraging.

this ain’t happening folks. fuck.

Republican counties, with their fewer number of citizens, always report first. Rural areas are easier to count. Democrat counties, which tend to be urban, have far larger numbers and report later.

the problem is trump is over performing in those counties relative to 2020.

yeah so hilarious that this demented old shitbag has the nuclear codes, power to further strengthen the corrupt SCOTUS and larger judicial system, completely dismantle what little progress we could have hoped for with climate change, gut the federal govt of anyone who may oppose him, is buddies with Putin and Netanyahu, etc etc.

it’s more of a panic over county margins compared to 2020 that they’re showing on TV.

where do you see that?
