I hope you get some of these.

FIAT Tipo

FIAT Tipo SW

FIAT 600 This is a full eletric.

FIAT Panda The original version was iconic. It had a full 4x4 version. Current models are stunning.

I tried to discover what was the line-up you have over there and it seems we get more from over there (essentially through the SUV line, from JEEP) than you receive from here.

What vehicles do you get under that badge?

Really? That bad?

FIAT in the 90’s and early 00’s went through a really bad phase, due to Ferrari sinking millions into F1, to the point FIAT Brazil was more active than FIAT Europe developing new models.

FIAT are reliable. A few engines were less than good but FIAT has always been on the forefront of developing new technology into engines and cars. My first car, a cheap model, had direct fuel injection when most other manufacturers were still using carburettors (at best, eletrically controlled).

It’s even a joke between owners that FIAT cars don’t like mechanics but when they start doing, you’re better off changing cars.

Why do you say that? What is so bad with FIAT there?

I’d risk that is true for the US models.

The FIAT umbrella and the PSA line-up in Europe makes for a good chunk of the market with vehicles for all tastes.

That is actually a good thing?

They accomplish that and the already diminutive presence they have in the world will shrink even more.

If that is enough for your needs, that’s fine.

You can hammer it, quench it and sharpen it after that.

Still awsome.

Where is this?

from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it

Yes, I understand that; there is a learning curve. For some, too steep.

That’s cute. And complies with the universal rule of “if it fits”.

The short answer is yes. But the interesting part - and I’m talking from personal experience - is that from the moment you realize just how easy and powerful using the console is, you learn how to use it.

And it does not mean you are going to turn into a full on expert or geek, tinkering around the console. You just learn a few simple commands that enable you to do something (or somethings) quicker, easier and cleaner than going through a GUI.

Can you? Yes. Should you? No.

Burn it by fire.

Burn this abomination.

At the beggining, it was the thunder god.

I can’t agree with you.

The major share holder of a game studio, with a major success on its portfolio, already working on other projects, decided he wanted to move away from it as the day to day work had become too demanding and made his part of the studio available for purchase, in fact cashing out on a very large sum of money.

I really can’t see where that is “apples to oranges”, concerning the current debate on studios being bought out and shut down on the turn of a dime.

Are game studios some separate entity that exist exempt of the at work business logic or human nature? Studios are companies created to generate profit for its founders, that will most likely take the opportunity to cash out when presented.

By contrast, independent authors/creators are becoming a growing force to be respected - which is very good - but will such authors be immune to selling their work for a high offer their work if such opportunity presents itself? Hopefully, they will, but I won’t bet on it, neither for nor against.

Don’t know if I would. Never had such an offer, never will.

I’m not very invested in the game/game studio culture but boiled down it gets to either a private owner or a board of directors deciding if it is the right moment to cash out.
