Microsoft and Disney are similar in that they spend huge sums and don't make great products, which is typical of old bureaucracies.
20 hours ago20 hr Watching a review of a prime rib restaurant. Never got into prime rib or steakhouse hamburgers- always preferred ribeye or a t bone. hamburger meat has weak beef flavor and prime rib's texture/taste is isn't good enough compared to steak. Not only that but prime rib in steakhouses is too expensive to me for its flavor, it reminds me too much of beef brisket.always seemed to be waste of good meat to make it that way.

It was rumored a few years ago to cost half a billion dollars. AT minimum it cost a few hundred million dollars which is ridiculous for a mediocre game. The game also derailed the franchise.
