The Talmud explicitly says that if you recover property that was irretrievably lost, you can keep it and have no obligation to find the original owner.

Its why modern Lara Croft sucks.
She doesn't even Tomb Raider correctly. They don't even handle the problematic nature of raiding tombs in a manner that would still allow her to be Tomb Raider.
"HEY LARA, THESE CUTE TWINKS ARE LOOTING AN ANCIENT TEMPLE, BUT WE DONT KNOW HOW AND WHERE IT IS. GO FIND IT! AND STEAL THOSE ARTIFACTS BACK!"

nuLara Croft was just sick fetish fuel for the creative director and audio producer. "Okay, we want you to make sounds like how you would if your were getting brutally maimed, wounded or murdered!"

There was some voice actress who said, I'm paraphrasing: "I loved this role because it was the first time I got to die without sounding like I was getting sexual pleasure out of it."

That game was so upsetting goddarn. It was and probably will be the most genuinely disturbing depiction of violence in video games ever.

Dems wont admit it but their entire campaign was a basically a bunch of HR DEI Whores and anyone who works any job with an HR department hates those HR DEI Whores more than middle management.

Thing is. Its not as preachy and woke you would except.
It is super safe and whitewashed. Everyone is nice. Everyone act like small child. PC is HR boss. Therapy talk everywhere.
Every negative emotion is ironed out. Its like you took disney movie and took out what little negativity it had and took it away. Leaving only shiny and fluffy cloud of comfort.
It has this uncanny quality in it. Like it wasnt done by humans but by lizard people trying to imitate humans. But they observerd only HR people.

Concord wasn't even that bad. It would have sold fine if it was released 7 years ago, and still done 5 y ago. Just so so so far behind the team shooter craze.

The main problem was the bafflingly ugly character designs.

For some reason wes
s see mobile gacha giant titty games that are practically porn rake in billions of dollars, and decide that the right decision to get people to play their games is make the character a toad that happens to be a 0.02% gender minority

I'm still convinced Concord was a Blackrock write-off and was never expected to succeed

Really the main problem was that an apparently mediocre-at-best online game in a full F2P market tried to charge $40 when even as a free beta it was incredibly underperforming. That the characters were hideous and badly designed was really the shit cherry on top that proved the game was ill-conceived at every level.
It looks like they spent $200m-$400m to make a game that appealed to one r-slur on ResetEra, and then it wasn't even a game you could play when you have no friends.

It's very funny how the only guy with white facial features wasn't allowed to have skin at all. Like they're literally doing phrenology in the name of being anti-racist.

This game would have probably sold 2x if it came out during covid. Concord was such expensive game that i dont know if it could have sold "fine" 7 years ago. But it would have sold way more then it did. Stuff like Brink crashed and burned in 2011.
