Love it. Hope the legal team at Ubisoft issues a license so the game can continue to be updated and experienced for generations to come.

Booting abusers and scumbags from companies and industry is not, as some users in the comment section cry, “american silliness” or “witch hunting”: It’s a matter of protecting workers and creating a safe workplace environment. For far too long, men in the industry have enabled or turned a blind eye to abusers. In…

get outta here with that “oh silly american” bullshit.

It isn’t a matter of “silly americans”, it’s a matter of not allowing assholes to abuse others in your workplace and industry. Scumbags should, at every opportunity, be shown the door. It’s in the best interests of worker safety and the company to, say, sever ties…

The account you’re currently posting from is an older account, one that doesn’t appear to have ever been a featured account or un-greyed (that is, followed by staff using the Kotaku account). Seems like it sat dormant for... six years.

Jim Spanfeller is a Herb. This much is evident. In his rush to stripmine as much short-term profit from the survivors of his last culling, Spanfeller has signed the death warrant of all.

Melee was my jam and I still bust it out in special game nights for wild party fun. Glad the competitive Melee community can enjoy an even better remote experience.

The irregulars in the comment section (“pending approval”) and one-off account posters seem to have completely missed the point of the essay. They probably skipped it. Always a rush of fools dashing for the boot polish.

The biggest cost of TF2 wasn’t hosting official servers, but dev time. That said, Valve is essentially a giant, leaderless studio of “self-directed” workers who form adhoc teams by literally dragging their desks together to work on projects they find personally interesting.

I still get this sense of awe and wonder whenever I fire up a 64 and a tube TV. There’s this sense of being part of the future of something and everything being limitless...

geez, that sucks. I had been hoping tobmass effect / xcom declassified gameplay formula had been refined. Guess I'll keep on dreaming. =(

Bloodshot is one of those films that is... aggressively fine. In terms of technical artistry, it’s pretty slickly done, but it just doesn’t have heart. Or humor. Or anything standout, really.

“left-wing anarchists” aren’t burning buildings en masse, but white supremacist boogaloo boys are — they came armed and ready. The two Matts, Shea and Gaetz, have written manifestos and are currently egging boogaloo boys on in hopes of starting a race war.

There cannot be peace for all until there is first justice for all. Thank you.

Musk’s argument is a dumb one; Musk accuses hospitals of inflating death numbers by arbitrarily declaring patients ill while ignoring that COVID-19 aid caps charges and hospitals that claim COVID-19 aid tend to lose money per case because it hard caps charges. If anything, the aid package incentivizes hospitals to…

this reminds me a lot of the failed mobile dungeon crawler, Legacy Quest.

The store is... fine? It’s the lack of an integrated mod workshop that gets me, though.

Play By Cloud or network play *should work*, but the Internet Games bit is siloed by store. Going to investigate deeps and will poke back.

Only possible way for this to be any worse is if it launches as a timed Epic Games exclusive on PC.

Ever since the dawn of the corporation, the nation has existed to serve the corporate good. true of industrial age Britain, true of post-WW2 America, and true of Dengist China.

wild and somehow appropriate that a cybernoir horror game is now funded by (and partially owned by) Tencent, this century’s version of the British East India Company.
