I believe they are saying that Gabe is just saying “Yeah gamers aren’t really into NFTs” when most gamers are vehemently against them.

Kotaku Australia is not a part of the GMG union as I understand, as they aren't in the US. 

Just... Use your eyes dude. 

I won’t dispute most of your comment, but they didn’t say Beck Bennet’s Putin would be more heartfelt, they said it might have been more *honoring* of Ukraine’s current situation than the heartfelt performance + opening was. Which is debatable in itself, but they weren't saying a Putin sketch would be heartfelt. 

I mean I guess? But is “extremely small group of people (like 1% of 1% of 1% of 1% of JUST the people who play this series) who sometimes have passionate opinions about one aspect of game design” the same as an entire series being known for being toxic?

That was my question as well. The Souls games actually seem to house pretty reasonable people, until you get on the discussion of difficulty settings. 

Doesn’t really sound like it. You would essentially be able to make a single backup of each cloned per system you store them on before updating any of the systems. If any system you are using has any 2 clones of the same original Pokemon (or a clone and the original), they get locked permanently after applying the…

“A representative from Nintendo made the following statement:

Unrelated to this, but a lot of people in my circles have been reporting Steam recommending far right troll games from a developer being recommended to them. This dev in particular.

1. Is this the same writer who wrote both pieces? I’m legit asking because Kotaku is not a monolith and I don’t follow any particular writer enough to know if they are flip flopping on this particular issue. 

So... Have you never seen or heard of the numerous single player RPGs that have received DLC? Like The Witcher 3, the single player RPGs that Bethesda puts out, Dishonored (sure, mostly action/stealth but it has some heavy RPG elements), Mass Effect, etc? 

I mean it’s probably to preemptively deal with two overlapping groups:

NYT paid over a million dollars for a web-based clone of a game show from the 80s? One that they could have made their own version of for roughly the cost of a meal for four at Denny’s?

Yeah I’m kind of shocked this wasn’t how it was to begin with. Video doesn’t adhere to your country’s laws? Fine, it doesn’t get to be viewed from there. That's really a no-brainer decision, the hard part really is having the fair use laws from all countries that would enforce this. 

Right? Like how many times does Navi really FORCE you to talk to her? Like... Maybe a half dozen times as a kid during tutorial stuff and 3-4 times as an adult which is almost all just general plot? Sheik and the owl are both way more annoying. 

I mean, this seems like something to have a warrant issued for, not just be banned from accessing the game or talking about it. 

That does make more sense, especially combined with Coasters Paul's additional explanation. Thank you. 

I’m not following your logic or your metaphor. Scam emails deliberately make themselves easier to see through to make them harder to see through?

If they had an editor, then this post about choosing the “skip cutscene” option in a speedrun wouldn’t have been published at all lol

Correction: When RDR2 becomes as profitable as GTA for Rockstar. They would absolutely do both, but I bet dollars to donuts they didn’t get the revenue that they wanted from RDO and just decided to pull the plug on new content.
