GoG, MS Store, Origin, and Steam all have been used by me. Epic Store? It has been installed, but has yet to inspire a want sufficient enough to purchase a game from their store.  Them buying off publishers for timed exclusivity inspires only an interest in them being the last marketplace visited by me.

Competition is always great for the consumer. Their proprietary games on their own fail to really be in the wheelhouse of my interests. Games such as Outer Worlds and Control and even Borderlands. Grand Theft Auto are more of a venue that interests me, instead of Epic Game's Fornite.  In the beginning that was the only reason for a Game Studios to contract another company to "sell" a new release.  The prospective publisher is already known for a certain genre of games.

Outside the signing bonus, the reasoning and logic behind tying their exclusivity with a publisher store outside the prospective game's market audience is beyond the understanding of mine. Yet the signing bonus is literally stupid, the developer should refuse to allow the publisher to dictate retail exclusivity. The developer's producers are the one who got the funding for the game to be made. All the publisher does is sell it.

A 'signing' bonus is a lump sum of money that will be dwarfed by the game's overall revenue. It is small thinking, like a vampire wanting to kill off the human race... where do they think their going to get their food? Does the writers, directors, and producers really think their audience lack the intelligence to ask this question? If anything, the last year has shown us that S.J.W.s are quickly loosing whatever credibility corporate executives mistakenly gave them. That seems the only logical and reasonable reasoning for S.J.W.s doubling down on being even mor ludicrous to a target audience, as is apparent to the distortion of mine.

This is a post that may be updated in the future with more criticisms if there is enough compulsion to watch the show further.  The first five to fifteen minutes are critical for any show on the big or silver screen.  There is basically only one flow that guaranties it will be successful.

Apparently NetFlix has hired mostly garbage bin writers who fail at understanding how to weave a good story, for the super'majority of their recent releases.  Why they are intentionally coercing their customers to go to another platform is beyond the understanding of mine.

There is a basic skeleton to all successful myths and modern stories.  The feet of that skeleton begin with what is called "The Refusal of the Call".  It is the foundation on which the rest of the skeleton depends.  It is in this first act that the writer must 'show' why the audience should care about the protagonist.

The initial protagonist, Karl D'Branin in the first five to fifteen minutes does the exact opposite of refuse the call.  He jumps headlong into it.  What is even worse, is the writers seemingly deliberately try to compel the audience to dislike the protagonist, because his 'jumping towards the call' ties also into ditching his loving and caring wife and child.

Therefore, Karl begins the story with a huge negative.  Yet there fails to be any reason the audience should care about him.  The writers 'tell' the audience why they should care, but it really just comes across as him whining, about how his family is holding him back from career advancement... people generally don't watch whiners.

Naturally, the character is a white affluent male.  Of course, it could just be literary license, but given recent releases from Hollywood it can easily be seen as pandering to S.J.W.s {Social Justice Warriors} who fail to buy tickets or pay for subscriptions.  That is their thing, blowhards who only want to force their personal ethics and morals onto others.

Hopefully this perception is changed, even if it fails to interest future versions of myself to watch it.  For those whom humble me with further interest in my critic of this show;  If further time is invested in watching this series, below the time disparity will be noted.

Generally suspension of disbelief allow me to enjoy shows far more than most known to me.  So when a show bothers me, it seems others might benefit from learning why, if they wish to know.

For sharing the Force, grateful am I.  May the Goddess be allowed to alighten a path towards love, joy, and happiness along the self'determined life'cycle chosen by the higher'self of yours, pray do I.
