“No sex!!!” … “You don’t even give us grand kids 😭😭”

That’s the “pedantic” part that also gets me, but realistically it doesn’t really work out anyway, because the “servings” are individual sizes. I can’t really calculate exactly how much everyone is going to eat. So even if the recipe turns out the exact amount it intended, it could still be too much or not enough, simple because someone is more or less hungry than usual / expected.

I like having reproducible results, but practically with food it just doesn’t happen perfectly, even if I actually measure everything perfectly (amounts, time, etc.)

I think EA was still worse. At least in my perception.

I think EA actually bought studios just to get the IP and immediately get rid of the employees. I also think they tried to milk a few of the IPs before letting it go downhill.

MS, from what I can tell, gave studios quite a lot of freedom to do what they do best. I don’t think they intentionally wanted to fuck over studios, but they rather sacrificed them.

Don’t get me wrong: that’s still bad. But there’s a difference between fucking studios over with intent and reacting badly to changed circumstances.

I am probably too pedantic for that. If the recipe says 500g of this with 250g of that, it’s typically a good 2:1 mix and the packaging sizes often aligned. Now you have shit like 400g and 220g and you can’t easily align them anymore. Realistically it probably won’t matter even if it’s not a nearly perfect 2:1 mix either. But … I can’t help myself :D

I also like that they no longer align with typically required measurements for recipes. Nothing gets me off more than having to calculate fractions for amounts of ingredients.

The British?! Pro-colonialism?! That can’t be. /s

If it fits your gaming profile, it’s a pretty good deal.
