    Huh, pretty boring lineup–

    No More heroes 3

    I would’ve led with this.

  2. MLB the Show is a massive SEO draw, No More Heroes 3 is not

  3. I have wondered how much they pay for MLB for a while. Did that happen to be in that leak with prices discussed?

  4. Don’t think so, no.

  5. Played NMH3 when it was new on Switch and found it to be kind of a wet fart to end the series tbh

    SEO draw

    I don’t know what to tell you bro I don’t have stocks in MS, seeing further japanese support through GP interests ME more than wahtever SEO’s referring to

  7. You said you would have led with No More Heroes 3. I chose to lead with MLB the Show because it will get us more traffic. That’s all, nothing complicated.

  8. Avatar for Silky Silky says:

    Oh that’s what SEO refers to? damn, crazy. that’s the game ig

  9. Yep, Search Engine Optimization, aka how google destroyed the internet
