It doesn’t matter. This is the kind of thing that shouldn’t be happening to any consumers, full-stop. It’s the exact scenario sceptics of Stadia pointed to from day one; you only ‘own’ things as long as Google lets you access their services.

For it to have happened to a developer they’re actively working with - given…

Maybe the one real advantage of Gearbox being acquired is that Pitchford no longer has to be the boss. A missed opportunity, indeed.

Randy Pitchford—who will stay on as boss of the company

Ya, his little blurb there comparing this to the usage of the word gay makes no fucking sense whatsoever. 

I disagree strongly with Mr. Spohn on his analogy with homophobic slurs. I have never seen the term “blind playthrough” used in a negative connotation or intended to slander members of the disabled community. I can empathize with his resistance to the casual, and arguably flippant, use of a term that he feels should…

This is why I was very upset at the removal of vita games from the webstore. I know I am in the minority here, but I like my Vita, I still play it on a daily basis. But that PSN store? Man, the Vita’s store is seriously messed up. Broken images, no games listed as being on sale (despite cross-buy PS4/PS3/Vita games…

All I take away from this is cheese gyuudon is tasty.

I agree, why even let it be an option? Why let you buy the wrong one or even one if you don’t own the game at all?

Because Nintendo and especially Game freak are ass-backwards like this.

Why make it this... confusing?

This one’s actually on Roku. The failure state for unexpected network traffic shouldn’t be to do whatever their devices are doing.

If cursed means “run by incompetent people”, then you are correct, sir. 

Maybe this makes me a bad person, but at this point I’m just following Fallout 76 news for the entertainment value.

“And if that doesn’t work, they’re suggesting “restarting the game client” or “uninstalling and reinstalling the game”.”

It’s utterly ridiculous.

At this point, Bethesda’s just trying to see what they can get away with. Gotta nail that bullshit monetization strategy before Elder Scrolls 6. 

I’m really starting to wonder if the whole point of this game was for Bethesda to be able to try out whatever random bullshit they could come up with. Ideas like this are too insane to implement in pretty much any other game but because this one was deemed terrible at the very beginning they can just use it as a weird…

Do you think that policies are just magically handed down from God almighty and beyond judgment? Even if they were “just following the rules,” the rules in this case suppress valid speech and affirm status quo power structures. There are leagues where players are not reprimanded for advocating social justice, like…

did you know you can apply what are called “skill points” to “customize” your character in a variety of different ways? you might have missed it

I’m genuinely surprised this wasn’t mostly a review of Randy Pitchford.
