I know they won't be something everyone has in their house

That's what they said about non-quantum computers 80 years ago.

It's basically modern XCOM set in the 40k universe, with the ship management from Battletech thrown in.

Epic never expected to make money on exclusives. They were using them as a loss-leader to force people to use their shitty store. Fortunately it looks like they've lost enough money to make them stop or at least cut back on their shenanigans.

Not that big by today's standards, but I once downloaded the Windows 98 beta CD from a friend over dialup, 33.6k at best. Took about a week as I recall.

Russia is believed to have about 6500 nuclear weapons. Even if ninety-nine percent of them fail, that's still 65 cities turned to ash.

Does the flag look like a chicken to anyone else?

What's your point? Mattel owns Barbie, they get to decide what to do with it or not. Greta Gerwig and Margo Robbie do not own Barbie, they have no say in what happens with it.

Regardless, it's their IP, they can do what they want with it.

they don't want the movie being made without the original creators.

So... Mattel?

Oh god, I used to work IT for a company that had a European office so users getting documents set to A4 was not unusual. The problem came when they tried to print one of those documents and the office printer would sit and complain that it didn't have any A4 available and wouldn't print anything in the queue until that was fixed. And of course users had no idea there was any difference between letter size and A4.

Pretty much anything Adams touches fails spectacularly. He just happened to have one lucky success.
