Who here is pretending that? The fact that Sony kept pouring hundreds of millions into Concord's development over the course of 8 years without realizing how bad it looks till only after launch speaks volumes about their incompetence as a game's publisher. Me thinks they made the PS5 Pro so expensive precisely to recoup some of the money they lost on Concord.

IGN being disconnected from the tastes and preferences of gamers? Almost inarguable. Letting political opinions of the journalists have huge sway over game reviews and scores? I'd say that is inarguable.

But you'll get downvoted when you type a post on HN that seems like you're getting excited while typing.

Who cares? Debates are about ideas, not tones.

Unless you're getting excited about the same world views as the mobs'.
