It's probably far more acceptable to throw down one of those quotes as a manager or executive than as a lower-down-the-ladder employee.

Three pricing tiers and no listed prices on the "pricing" page. Only the option to talk to sales. So, depending on the outcome of the conversation one could end up paying less for the Enterprise tier than for the Basic one. No sin

Wasn't aware of that, also my use-case during the brief time I messed with it was trying to see how clever it was at identifying companies which use animal testing to develop their products. Thank you for the link.

That could be it (or part of) the thought process behind the decision, assuming it was in fact a deliberate move. If I'm to have a bash at listing the possible reasons as to why there aren't city maps in Starfield, and in no parti

I wrote this reply several times and scrapped all of my drafts. In an inspired moment I came up with this ridiculous conclusion/theory. That Bethesda intend to release city maps as paid DLC - and in the mean time not having those maps

I fully agree with your assessment. In terms of annoyances, so far the only complaints I have after six hours of play on the XSX would be: - (Bug) Enemies in the cookie-cutter "abandoned" facilities being able to shoot me through

I very much appreciate the analytical depth of the article. I played Starfield for a total of six hours last weekend on my Xbox series X. It is reasonably good, at least so far. I'm from the very old school of gamers who were mesmerise

It feels like something of a missed opportunity for them (Arm), I guess. I wonder what the stock value for Arm would be, if back in the day, they had come up with a business model similar to that which Unreal engine employs today. E.g. we&#

That was always the impression I had, engines such as id tech X, Frostbite, Fox Engine, etc, in my view are some examples of more "direct" competition.

For me RT has mostly been a reasonable indicator of what is worth watching and what isn't, subjective as that might seem. Some stuff though just doesn't make any sense to me (going back to the point about subjectivity). I love the

I actually gave up on clicking those links. Can somebody explain why this happens? I really can't stand this game. It has an immersion factor of zero and I hate backpedaling to the start.

Indeed. My brother and I played starcraft using the same trick. When the fight started to escalate and there were hundreds of units fighting, the lag got really really bad, but it worked well enough that we kept coming back to it. That and
