You shouldn't have to deal with that ****. It strikes me as the shared fridge of mafia problems. It's one thing if you all agree to pool your groceries, it's quite another when people steal your dinner without any shame. I hope you have more luck in the future.

Disney/Square Enix basically pumping out games to make enough money to create high quality products like The Last Jedi & Final Fantasy 15. They are basically like your 15 year old who steals their dad's credit card in order to burn through money like it's nobody's business and then realizes they will get caught so they buy their dad a $5 gift to cover up a 5 figure credit debt.

Please let me know if there is DLC, microtransactions, or loot boxes in this game.
I’m not a fan of pumping out movies or games like call of duty style, even if I give a pass to Pokémon doing it.

The optimist in me has assumed that this game wouldn't have micro transactions, but I'm sure the trend of microtransactions in games is much larger than I think.

It wasn't a retconn because KH 1 came out in 2002, Chain of Memories (CoM) came out in 2004, KH 2 came out in 2005. A retcon would be if KH 2 came out earlier than CoM, therefore making CoM's purpose to tie the plot between the two games. That's not what happened. CoM likely came out as a financial decision as it is cheaper to make a GameBoy Advance game than a PS2 or PS3 release. Due to production costs and time investment, they knew that their flagship series e.g. titular Kingdom Hearts games couldn't be shipped out every 1 or 2 years which was undesirable because they realized the massive income potential that the games had cashing in on young adult nostalgia, children, and casual gamers.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not anymore.
I'm referring to straightforward retcons of KH1 continuity made in subsequent games, including KH2. I wasn't referring to games themselves as retcons.
With the success of CoM receiving a lack of backlash, they realized that they could more or less script anything without much narrative or character arcs. Pad the story out by throwing in Disney worlds and basically shill on people who are indentured gamers. People who commit more serious crimes are found to have had a prior history of committing minor misdemeanors before hand therefore making the act of committing more egregious offenses easier when they the punishment does not register to them. In a less severe example, test markets are there to introduce fringe products and basically assess how it's received by the public. When CoM didn't generate concern that the series was diluting its own plot with worthless crap B plots, the KH engine began to roll out more and more ridiculous ideas knowing that people no longer cared and they had a dedicated return on funds. Basically Kingdom Hearts at this point is a machine that generates dollar bills every time you press a button for it to eject a new game. When it doesn't matter whether the new game actually has any intrinsic quality to it, they are just going to press that money making button every chance they get until they ruin the series.
Can't speak for anyone else, but Vult and I have a PyP nearly done, and TK and I are mid-development on an inaugural Paranoia. Both should be really good. The PyP is focused on uncommon roles, and making sure the PRs are always good rather than being rock-paper-scissors-y, and nobody here has played this forum adaptation of Paranoia yet aside from TK and I, so it should be pretty novel to everyone here.
How do you know what forum adaptations of Paranoia I have or have not played?????????????!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Were you on NS2 for the ones I ran, or on BGG for Sparky's? I don't recall you being on NS2, and I know MagMag referred me to BGG, so I guess it's possible you were there, but I was in those and don't remember you being in them...

Not surprised, the Disney boardroom... I mean "Testuya Nomura" is just recycling the idea that the Disney arcs are useless padding to artificially lengthen game time without actually contributing to one of many, many B plots that each individually have close to no significance in closing out the overall story. Kind of hilarious though that I made my statement without having any exposure to this game and yet collective consensus among reviewers is that the format of the first 3/4 of the game contains little to no significant plot elements with the last 1/4 being heavily centered around developing elements tied into the B-plot. Also, I like how there was a rather blatant comment from Nomura that the Final Fantasy characters from KH-1 were there as a "kind of feature" stating that their purpose in the original series was to serve as bait so they could attract consumers and then switch them out with established KH characters once the series got running.
