Inflexion's assessment was unconventionally frank: "We are not satisfied with where the game is at, we're not satisfied with the overall sentiment, we're not satisfied with our player numbers," Flynn said.

Despite the video's vaguely uncomfortable air—watching it felt like the two developers were expecting me to scold them—it's admirable for its candor.

Inflexion is hoping to release the latest slate of improvements in an update later this summer. »

Democrats were appropriately concerned not only about Biden’s debate performance on June 27, but also about his advancing age.
