About CDPR, is truth or fake news that when they launched a scolarship that discriminates against the group that founded their company(Polish man) and adopted ESG, a lot of high end workers moved to other studios like Warhorse studios?

this entire "pulling a barve" is so uncool. from lingo to idea behind it. its what saturday-morning cartoon pirates would do, not "dark fantasy" pirates. really reinforces the idea the game was written like its target audience are children.You've gone too far, now drop and pull an Barv
not children but manchildren
Bulgaria has it at #2 too 
Then again, half the Top 10 is free or deeply discounted games.

I'm never getting over this 'are you non binary yes/no (you must choose)' logic.
Technically, I can decide to be non binary and just fuck hot women because and dress in men clothes, no ?

Anyone seen this? Really cool.
Talk about the connections of SBI and especially Ubisoft. Plus a chart showing their involvement in various projects.

That's how being non-binary is handled in Mount&Blade.
Top 2 in HUE land too, but that's... strange. People here usually aren't big on CRPGs. I don't know a single person who plays this kind of game here. I mean, 249BRL is like 1/5 of the salary of most people, people here don't buy games full price. Some do, of course, but to the extent that the game reached 2nd place? Dunno, seems fishy to me.

That's how non-binary is handled irl too. I haven't heard any substantial arguments about being non-binary. Try to explain non-binary without mentioning clothing and hairstyles (aka just fashion choices) challenge: impossible.

I think it's going to do strong numbers out of the gate. Like I said, there will almost surely be some form of "strongest release ever" to go along with more "Bioware is back!" headlines. I'd also expect a "we're very pleased with the performance of Veilguard," that one is almost inevitable. We'll have our memes and glorious cringe clips, Biodrones will get to escape their miserable lives for a while, and EA will rake in the sheckels.
One outstanding question, of course - a lot of people are going to buy it in order to review bomb and refund. The only thing of any meaningful value to watch will be what EA says on calls with shareholders.
But I still think it's going to do fine and Bioware is going to do fine - they're still the shepard (hur) of some very valuable IPs. And with standards as low as the Veilguard audience, would you really want to lose access to those people? It's pretty clear the play, and I think it's a smart one - use this game to soak the diehards while roping in the kiddies, and once you've got that audience captured, start putting the squeeze on - mobile spinoffs, live service, gacha. They got spooked because they know they're on thin ice, plus the gullible younger kids have no idea what a Dragon Age is, but I'd put good money that's the long term plan.
These people will obviously buy anything. Why would you not want to wring every dime from them? You think these people won't throw giant gobs of cash at the most garish possible cosmetics? The more money this game makes the more certain a live service soaking is going to be in the works, and no one will laugh harder than me when EA starts raking in millions on 100 dollar Solas skins.

"Sometimes I feel like I am trans, and other times I feel like I am not."
When I read non-binary that's what I percieve - someone either on their way to trannydom, or on their way back from there. The bisexuals of genital mutilation.
Come on guys, you've never noticed that even the most shittiest big studio releases always go to the top of the "Global Top Sellers" chart on Steam?
It is almost like it was a marketing trick!
