So, I wrote another book. Herokiller 2, sequel to my last one. Near-future sci-fi gladiatorial combat, now with a twist of genetic engineering. If you’ve ever liked any of my work, consider checking out this series. And let me know what you think! amazon.com/gp/product/B0897W…

Actually quite believable. Still insane but the math checks out. I heard years ago the fully loaded cost per head at MS is like ~$30K per person per month. So, 4 years dev, 300 headcount (avg) over that time period equals out to about half a billion if you spend a low-ish $75M on marketing.

Yes, so this, from what I'm told, is very true. $500 million. Unbelievable.

This isn't V in Edgerunners 2. Not even the same facial chrome or haircut. Sick of all the news articles stating it like fact.

I finished four playthroughs before Phantom Liberty which I then went back for, but this is my first full from-scratch in many years, so I never saw this. Stuff like this is why I’m doing another one, they’ve added a lot of minor things that are cool
