  • They won’t. Establishment Dems want this as well. Repubs are doing it for them, and then any elected Dem then would likely be more of the watered down same, and they’ll quietly allow the status quo to continue.

    Maybe they’ll stop the gutting. Maybe they’ll slim down some high profile things like ICE a bit. But largely they won’t ramp up hiring to return to any previous scale.

    Also FYI, the last time the US Federal government lost employees on this scale was under Clinton in the 90s working bipartisan with a Repub congress.





  • AoE III was excellent. It explored new ideas and did it well. As a long time AoE fan who played all of them since the first, AoE II is massively overhyped, and AoE III is unfairly shit on.

    Also they were voluntold to do Halo Wars, and they did a good job on it. It’s a good game, and it did an excellent job on console with a controller scheme, which was impressive at the time.

    Ensemble got shafted. They were held up at the time as the leaders of RTS and Microsoft didn’t give a fuck. Just used and abused.

    AoE online was clearly executive suite demands. Of course it fucking sucked.
