      They weren’t my favorite studio before, but they’re definitely never getting another dime from me. There’s a lot of fish in the sea.

        It amazes me that anyone played any far cry or assassins creed game in the last 10 years and went “yes this is a good game”. All they make is bare minimum surface level crap and it’s been that way for a loooooong time.

        For Honor was their last good game.
