@kunakai: Destiny had a player base and a frequently updated content calendar. Anthem is revisiting the core of the game's systems. I hear what you're saying, but Bioware is in way deeper shit than Bungie or Epic ever were with Destiny and Fortnite, respectively.
Nobody is going to shed a tear for hedge fund douche-bros. But they're completely insulated from feeling any pain in this. That's why there are barriers to entry for this kind of dumb nonsense. They can afford to lose this money. Some clown getting swept up in the mania, taking out cash advances to buy stock is going to get left holding the bag. Legitimizing this is only going to drag in tons of idiots who don't have a clue what they're doing. It's like pissing into the wind hoping a single drop might land on their shoes. Everyone decides to get in on the action like flipping houses in the 2000s until suddenly millions of people are saddled with an impossible amount of debt, getting their homes foreclosed and tanking the economy for a generation of people who work for a living.
The urge to frame this as underdogs sticking it to fat cats is the problem I have with the media ginning up this story: mainstreaming and legitimizing the channer dispshits of the world who just want everything to burn for their sadistic entertainment. They're not looking to address or fix the issues that are being thrown around as justification. It's emblematic of a disease that is destroying institutions left and right, the same impulse that memed a fascist white supremacist into the White House "4 teh lulz".
Basically this. Once the squeeze momentum drops, the stock is going to plummet like an airplane redlining back to Earth. Anyone that's not at the front of the line is going to be left with a bag. It's 2017 cryptocurrency hype all over again.
Retail investors only have power in mass. As soon as the momentum is gone, so are the leading market movers. This is going to get ugly as hell.
Cuphead is amazing. I've never felt like a game has tested my abilities as a Player of Video Games quite like Cuphead. And because of that I both love and hate Cuphead. It is breaking barriers. My bounds have been pushed. My patience has been tested. And yet.. I CAN'T STOP TRYING TO BEAT GRIM MATCHSTICK. I will get that bastard.. someday.
Ben, you always kept it real. You were true to yourself and because of that, you were embraced as part of the community. Thank you for all the crazy stuff you pushed for over the years. It's been awesome having you around. No doubt you'll cook up something great for the future. Best wishes to you man.
Cuphead. Finally getting around to my backlog. Which I guess is a theme for the start of the year.. my first game in 2020 was Witcher 3. And both on a Switch Lite!
