waaaay out of the timeframe you have specified (it is a 2020 game that is still actively updated) but still with the same vibes, I'd check out Easy Red 2, as it scratches that specific itch of a WW2 shooter with scale. It is maybe too open at times for my taste but it is one of the very few modern games covering that niche. It does have optional squad management gameplay elements but you can ignore those in favor of playing a simple soldier, and the AI will do those jobs for you.

We could have had the CoD take on those parts of For All Mankind?
And they cancelled it?
Are you kidding me?!
hhhhmmmmm I don't know, I'm not sure I'm interested in discovering more details
I was interested in the general what, not so much on the specific who's or how's, if that makes sense
But I won't fully knock it until I try it
watch From Software snipe them with the release of the DLC for Elden Ring too, I bet they were waiting for this news to release it on the same week lol
Oh yeah! the ending was near perfect, so thematically appropriate and so bittersweet. The extended version is somehow even better
I think they got that from the youtube text transcription
poor proofchecking/proofreading on their part
Aaaah Silicon Valley, if you work in anything tech related it is the most cathartic show you can possibly watch. I've lived through the whole "The Box" mess like three times throughout my career at this point.
I agree that it gets messy at times, but I give them a pass on that, considering that the unfortunate passing of a certain actor probably threw all the early plans they had about the direction of the story out the window. For a show that had to scramble to deal with those kinds of unexpected issues, they did better than anyone could've.
I'm not sure how I feel about this one, because I think that a large part of my enjoyment of the first one was unraveling the mystery of what had happened to the world, and that's all but gone now. We'll see I guess.
In most cases, they hired and grew at an irresponsible rate in 2021-2022
Just compare the growth in employees in Microsoft in 2021-2022 compared to the 5 previous years or so
Of course, the employees are not to blame for that and should not pay for that, but that's how they roll I guess...
throughout november and december 2023, and january 2024
if you had investments in the S&P500 that is
what a fucking boomer
Music licensing shenanigans strike once again.
The evergreen digital market of today is just incompatible with the practices established back when stuff was sold in boxes and only expected to sell for 5-8 years, and every now and then we get a reminder of what happens when they don't mesh.
Thankfully GoG was still selling it and discounted it massively to allow more people to preserve it.
