With nearly eight years of development, this open-world FPS title tried to create an experience that would define “next-gen,” though many consider it falling incredibly short of that goal.

Whatever else their strike accomplishes, the Teamsters have tapped into mounting worries about the quality of job creation - part or full time, with benefits or without, on staff or off - in the re-engineered 1990s. UPS managers had to face the prospect that the public will side with the strikers in a dispute that, like the tightest ship in the shipping business, touches every block in every city.
