Parasite Eve (1998) was an RPG from Square for the Sony PlayStation. In SquareSoft's first M-rated title, the power of mitochondria awakens in New York City on Christmas Eve! Rookie cop, Aya Brea, is swept into a quest to track down and stop the horror before it is too late. (a cellular thread)

I was so excited for this! I had been playing around with it and gutted that all dev will stop

Honestly think this is mismanagement from the very begining at #wotc I think could have been truly great!

The opportunity and benefit were never made clear to customers

Super interesting, I wonder what the launch titles will be. I wasn't really impressed with the upgrade to PS5 Pro for the price so hoping this will be a better leap in technology.

I will say I faced a lot of these assumptions and stereotypes when I was still dating which had a negative impact for my coming out and being proud of my identity.

Continued representation and education is key to help break these barriers down.
