Believing fake tweets that you only later find out are fake is probably the closest a person can get to understanding Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation without reading it

Kind of messed up that Konami worked their ass off to make Fox Engine good enough for MGSV, then literally never made anything else under it than a zombie spin-off everyone ignored and more soccer games.

I think Fox Engine was rather good.

I see this happening quite a lot with proprietary closed-source engines. It just feels like a ton of human effort... well, it didn't exactly go into a black hole, because we got MGSV. But it's so far from optimal exploitation of the labor put into the engine!
