They're usually just liars acting as a filter between the game and the interested customers.

Instead of just showing the game, they cut what doesn't look good and make it appear as something more than it is. That's their job.

It's not adding value. Peak marketing executed perfectly is just misleading enough to increase sales beyond what just seeing the game would do, without making the customers mad enough to have a negative impact.

I make a rare exception for actual artistry, like some of the WoW expansion cinematics. It's still pretty misleading, but they're pretty.

As for the next Elder Scrolls, I don't think Bethesda has the devs to make it fun or interesting. From what I've seen from them, they are not particularly competent.

This post is just a 4chan user doing the only thing they know. Eat hot chip and lie.

Guessing they still have no idea why people liked Battlefield around the Bad Company to BF3/4 days. It's a complete mystery.

Modern audiences want unique looking heroes with purple tazers and quips about food delivery apps not servicing warzones.

The dumber a civilization is, the more sense God makes.

Or another classic, by none other than Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon "Mr. Lonely" Thiam

I'm so lonely (so lonely)

I'm Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)

I have nobody (I have nobody)

For my own (to call my own girl)

It's pretty common to tell depressed or struggling people that things get better/easier, as if it happens passively and they just need to stick around, just hold out.

But what if the next time is in 8 years, and then the next ones after that are 5 and 13 years apart? Won't be much improvement then, and it'll be 26 years later and you'll be pushing 60.

I agree.

I'll add there's apparently no point to a degree in it because it seems even the ones who have one learned nothing.

I played this game. I didn't think about it afterwards.

Because you aren't allowed medically assisted suicide. The democratic government mandates a rough and tough death for you, because a merciful death is too awful for a fucking voter to think any more on than " Oh no, no death please. I don't want to talk about this anymore, go away or I call the police."
