Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.45,0:02:28.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are elements of it \Nthat are maybe not feel-bad.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.15,0:02:43.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a big thing that was emphasized
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.67,0:02:48.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is how streamlined this studio's \Ndevelopment pipeline was gonna be.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.17,0:02:49.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Look at this:

Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.73,0:03:08.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when they were bringing these people in:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.34,0:03:12.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's mostly just to talk about
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.90,0:03:16.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how hypothetically impressive \Ntheir technology's going to be.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.92,0:03:58.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,3 years later, it sounds like they're really \Nstruggling to get this video game together,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.92,0:04:05.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I realize it's not rare for a video game \Nto spend 5 months in development

Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.87,0:04:33.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I do fear, maybe in the near future,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.84,0:04:38.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're gonna have to start questioning \NHermen Hulst's taste in video games.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.24,0:04:40.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not his taste in jackets, obviously.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.44,0:04:43.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you have to wonder \Nwhat he saw in Fairgames

Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.02,0:04:48.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then just last week, \Na brand new studio

Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.74,0:05:04.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So do you remember last year \Nwhen Bungie announced
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.55,0:05:09.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they were eliminating 17% \Nof their studio's workforce?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.06,0:05:14.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A little part of that announcement\Nis that there would be an incubation team
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.28,0:05:18.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that would become \Na brand new PlayStation Studios studio:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.90,0:05:26.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Personally, I only remember it because, \Nat the time, it was codenamed Gummybears.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.44,0:05:31.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what I find unique about \Nthis particular studio announcement
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.97,0:05:37.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is how specific and \Nslightly charming it is. They say:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.43,0:05:55.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's almost like they're blissfully unaware \Nof how high the stakes are here,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.98,0:06:00.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that everything within 3 short years \Ncould just come crashing down.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.65,0:06:04.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it-- It's also interesting \Nhow they describe their game.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.49,0:06:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Typically, you wouldn't say too much.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.26,0:06:11.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Back in that old press release for Haven, \Nthey described what would become Fairgames as:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.74,0:06:28.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's normal. However, \Nhere's how LFG describes their game:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.22,0:06:42.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It says, "Frog-type games."\N[laughs]
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.84,0:06:54.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, you can call me stupid because I'm \Nactually looking forward to this game now.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.84,0:06:59.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then also in Bungie news (that I \Nfrankly don't have the vocal stamina for),
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.60,0:07:05.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an artist named Antireal pointed out \Nthat Marathon copied a lot of their art.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.10,0:07:08.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like COPIED it,\Ntook the words right off of their art.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.94,0:07:11.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in the case of this stuff right here,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.21,0:07:16.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's, like, an essential part of the \Nwhole visual identity of their promos.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.37,0:07:21.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And by the way, this is the third time \Nin 2 years Bungie got caught doing this.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.50,0:07:24.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, I think with \NMarathon coming out so soon,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.48,0:07:26.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's no way to remove the art.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.47,0:07:31.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They're really just going to have to pay \Nthis artist, like they did for that Nerf gun.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.04,0:07:52.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wonder if you're thinking, at this point,

Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.06,0:08:42.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But perhaps most strangely, as somebody \Nwas reviewing Diddy Kong's design,
