Narrative driven, story rich games don't sell?

How many video game franchises are making the leap to tv/movies these days? Hint, it's the ones with narrative driven, story rich games.

Go ahead and make pay to win mobile games, I don't play them and they rake in millions so it makes perfect business sense.

But the idea that gamers don't pay for good narrative driven, story rich games is laughable.

I think the biggest problem with a lot of game franchises have is they only sell the game. So much money is being left on the table with the best efforts being a screengrab lazily printed on a cheap shirt that sells maybe one or two.

If I could get some official, quality, Umbrella/Shinra/Arasaka/Faro corporation mugs, phone covers, meme tier shirts etc I'd be all over it.

That's totally right!

Iirc the games had very similar mechanics and look to them, forgot the thread was about Capcom 😅

Drain the swamp one way or another.

The elites will probably vaccinate, but their followers never will - it will become the official purity test of MAGA

Never played Dino crisis but I LOVE me some parasite eve.

Nothing against Dino crisis, just never got to play it, and definitely would take the opportunity.

Super pumped for onimusha reboot, would love to see modernization of Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, And do something interesting with megaman - like Devil may cry meets megaman.

The real anarchy would be to make Canadians live anywhere BUT what's on the map

People love crapping on the reality of resource economics.

Someone is going to provide the coal.

The real solution would be for Canada to be aggressive in its green energy programs (and start accessing resources other than lumber and oil).

Being a leader in green energy production (not just by having nuclear, hydro etc) but actually producing solar, wind, batteries, etc for export.

Using carbon based energy to create low carbon energy sources is the only way we're going to successfully transition away from fossil fuels.

The main problem is that we do 1% green and 99% carbon, and that number never really seems to change.

Our carbon tax is not improving public options to ditch fossil fuels, which should be the whole point of a carbon tax (reduced use by increasing price, and using the tax to create low carbon alternatives).

I doubt we'll ever be serious about a green transition anytime soon.

Why is Trump pardoning Antifa FBI crisis actors??

"dirty commies forced people into poverty and famine!" doesn't really sound so different when people can't afford homes or food under capitalism

Or, maybe they'll be the Token Black Republican!

Knowing they're personally hated by their party, and the only reason they are tolerated is because their existence "refutes" the palpable and constant racisim of the GOP.

One day, if they hate their own race enough, they can grow up to be the greatest Uncle Tom in history aside from Clarence Thomas!

 

So my parents got scammed last night, fraud case is open but it's likely not gonna go anywhere and they'll be out 10K - they know better and now they really know better, and I'm hoping to get some advice on a repayment strategy.

They absolutely don't have that kind of money and repayment will take a while.

Plan one is just put it on the mortgage, but they're currently locked in at a lower rate for 2 more years, so adjusting that isn't ideal if it changes the rate. If not, adding 10K to mortgage is no brainer.

Line of credit does carry lower interests, but it will accrue daily, credit cards are high interest, but interest is racked up monthly.

Would it be possible/smart (assuming +10K credit card capacity) to move LoC debt to the credit card for 25 ish days a month to avoid daily LoC interest, and then send the debt back to LoC for 5ish days (transfer time) and have the credit card at $0 at the end of every month? No credit card interest and far less days for LoC debt to accrue interest?

Obviously there is risk in not having the credit card paid off in time, but would this strategy be viable if properly executed?
