Does… does that one on the right think that the books were tie-ins and not source material?

valtharr.bsky.social•15 days ago

Exactly what I came here to post. Also, people seem to forget that the Cyberpunk IP is much, much older than the video game.

scotsdragon.bsky.social•15 days ago

To be fair, Cyberpunk tabletop wasn’t exactly in a particularly smash hit place and got a huge boost thanks to the video game adaptation.

valtharr.bsky.social•15 days ago

Same could be said about the Witcher novels 🤷‍♀️

scotsdragon.bsky.social•15 days ago

The Witcher novels were still a pretty big deal in Poland

lejeunec.bsky.social•15 days ago

I do agree. More games should double down on trans media

Where is the Pentiment short movie, Josh?

sofi64.bsky.social•14 days ago

He has clearly not considered the potential profit in making Pentiment a multimedia franchise with those hideous little funko pops and Fortnite crossovers

ducttapejake.bsky.social•14 days ago

Did... did that random business bro imply that the Witcher game 'leveraged' the books they were based on in order to grow the brand?

thechrispaduan.bsky.social•15 days ago

Maybe the Stalker games will get a movie someday!

thinwhiteduke86.bsky.social•15 days ago

I have an idea. Weird movie based on weird novel.

thechrispaduan.bsky.social•14 days ago

Well, the movie they make from the game will of course require a novelization.

thinwhiteduke86.bsky.social•14 days ago

Ah, ok. Roadside Picnic 2

thechrispaduan.bsky.social•14 days ago

Stalker: The movie of the game - the novel

I’m surprised they didn’t praised AI in there. 98% of my LinkedIn feed is being ultra optimistic about AI future.

jonesinator17.bsky.social•14 days ago

It’s just face book now. Full of politics and inspirational quotes.

Those Witcher books though, so smart of the devs to tap into that crowd!

I *hope* these are just grifters that know better and are deliberately misleading uninformed people to sell them whatever they’re selling.

But I *fear* they believe every word they say, self-proclaimed geniuses as they are.

LinkedIn lunatics is a fun subreddit to go through

tisaga.bsky.social•14 days ago

I dont hate the idea of video game canon but like cmon dude I doubt you could properly assess the influence of something even a year post release let alone based off a dumb meme pre launch lmao. Not to mention would it even be on something like DOOM's level? Thatd be what I'd say is absolute canon

captainmatthew.bsky.social•14 days ago

I used to think this kind of LinkedIn nonsense was critically hilarious, but as the world slips further into some kind of psychotic capitalist end game. This rhetoric becomes a lot less funny and a lot more depressing.

supermax.bsky.social•14 days ago

Odyssey was ok when it came out, but then seven years later they had to remove any mentions of music from the text, now it barely works on modern pages and you can't read it with a friend because servers are down

cavejohnson1.bsky.social•14 days ago

Hi Josh, will you play Avowed

upperthighs.bsky.social•14 days ago

He's helping on it and will have already played it

sunburystudios.bsky.social•14 days ago

Turn your derangement outward, join LinkedIn

sesock.bsky.social•14 days ago

Hey, Josh. That guy is THE co-founder of THE talent agency for Roblox. Let’s show some respect where it’s due.

donmostert.bsky.social•14 days ago

I despise LinkedIn with such a violent passion, I bet anyone writing cyberpunk like stories can get all their material there.

shibexdoge.bsky.social•14 days ago

I was on LinkedIn for a bit just to follow Ken Cheng and nobody else

sofi64.bsky.social•14 days ago

This guy's playing the long game that's how you know he's a real Business Genius

bac-one.bsky.social•15 days ago

That usage of usage of canon is not canon.

shiffer.bsky.social•14 days ago

credit to Tim Cain for being ahead of the curve and transporting everyone into the outer worlds universe, gotta say, living the prequel to the games have been really immersing

jehovanova.bsky.social•14 days ago

Man talk about insufferably pretentious assholery, jfc.

acinixys.bsky.social•15 days ago

It's become FB, but instead of unhinged boomers liking AI Shrimp Jesus pictures, it's 40 somethings lying about their job or copy-pasting someone else's viral post as their own

Just a shameless hole full of narcissists and tryhards

loquileus.bsky.social•14 days ago

"What the Odyssey was to literature..." ???

Oh brother, where art thou...

Every time I go on LinkedIn, I wish I wasn't on LinkedIn

dhampirvampire.bsky.social•14 days ago

LinkedIn always seemed like the Facebook for weird "professional" takes. Glad to see that is a continually proven fact.

Second dude doesn't even know The Witcher books were the source material??? ☠️☠️

khalexie.bsky.social•15 days ago

love to see business bros try to figure out what makes art good

runebear.bsky.social•15 days ago

I know these are bean counters and hype men, but man this just turns my stomach.
