There are a lot of possibilities.

Gamers aren't into AI. This is even worse for Xbox than Phil ever could have been, imo.

Quote from: Legend on Today at 05:09 AMSome people are saying he was fired. Those people are probably wrong but it makes it more interesting so I chose to believe it.
It feels weird that Sarah Bond left too. 

It feels like MS is pushing hard on AI here. 

I wouldn't be surprised if they left on their own, because of MS's direction.

Been playing a lot.  Like 6+ hours yesterday and quite a bit today.  

I had played like half of Persona 3 years ago. I think the PS2 version on PS3. It's probably been like 15 years. I recall not finishing it and feeling like I liked it less as I got closer to the end. 

The opposite of my experience right now. I kind of think I'm further in the game and yet more eager to play. Maybe the Reload is better. 

It's still introducing new things like 30 hours in.  

The game is very long. 

But I am looking forward to it right now.

Spent a fair amount of today: 

- Playing Persona 3
- Cleaning the house
- Creating a custom client to grab a bunch of Japanese vocabulary from a pretty cool API.

The inflated budgets of modern AAA games is insane. There are so many free tools or a lot of assets that can be used and easily tweaked to make whatever look you want. I could easily see all the premade assets that expedition 33 used when I played it, but they did them in such a unique way most people wont see or care. 

Game dev is fudgy hard but there has never been a time that's it's been as easy to make one
