Sigh... *unzips*

Yeah that would be good, although it still causes problems with people who have data caps. If you need to download the whole game as a demo you’re talking 60-100 GB of a cap on something you might not even like. A smaller slice of the game would be ideal but that takes a lot more effort to make. 

It isn't my genre so I'll skip it but Vlad Love is a fantastic name. 

I have mixed feelings about about this. On one hand it seems kinda neat to have a special event to unlock a character early.

I don’t disagree, but I think you need one global board that exists to help smaller regional boards coordinate. The regional boards would be able to look up a player and see what region they are in and then work with their region’s board for an investigation, with the global board assisting and making rulings of the…

I think the largest problem is it was one body seemingly trying to govern all Smash players on the planet?

They’ve essentially just said “Too much, you’re on your own.” which I get, as to my knowledge this is an unpaid volunteer group trying to tackle an enormous problem. So what happens next?

I kind of expect it to be different. I don't have a ton of experience with Switch Online but knowing how Nintendo has treated online games in the past I would doubt that they would allow for full text or voice chat in any method other than their official chat system. 

He can't read the article, he's been blinded by science

I’ve heard rumors that they didn't initially think about it being vertical and it was an afterthought. 

First of all, yes. Absolutely lol.

That’s true of any leisure activity. Not everyone wants to write the next great novel or treat lepers in their free time. 

“Brown people are just inferior humans.”

If anything it means the opposite. If it doesn't matter how it looks then it should be designed simply to make it easy to set up and use correctly. And if it isn't supposed to be looked at then it shouldn't be designed in a way to pull focus. 

That seems like a rather misguided take, or at least is ignoring the nuances of complexity for each game. Just the hours it takes to beat says very little about how complex a game is. Was it a simplistic 2d platformer with minimal controls or was it an expansive 3D open world game? Was it only in English with minimal…

Since the 360 Shadowrun was a multiplayer FPS nightmare, I'd like to see a version of it like Cyberpunk, a 1st person (or 3rd person) RPG. 

Ark 1 fully released? The last I heard it was Early Access and buggy as shit and then didn't really hear anything until this. 

Because there are almost zero negative repercussions for threatening people over the internet.

Because they are establishing what the rules are. Most don’t need additional clarification because they are immediately obvious to anyone.

Yes, but it’s still a bad argument. If you took the decision making power away from humans and give it to bots it may be “less arbitrary” but you lose the chance to understand the nuances of each situation because bots can’t do that.
