I dunno, I think the two episodes where Ash battles Sabrina, the Saffron City gym leader (only a couple episodes after this one) were scarier as a kid.

As said in the post, they have tried reaching out to Epic in the past and never got a response. Makes sense to make a public tweet about it now since Epic is in the news for the layoffs and people directly related to the remaster of the game are part of those layoffs.

Yeah I’m sure the company developing and releasing PC games for the past *checks* over 35 years, aren’t acutely aware of the fact that Mac and Linux COMBINED make up only 3.5% of the marketshare of Steam (Linux has the majority of that 3.5% btw), despite that information being publicly available and easy for anyone to…

Well yes, that specific recording was external and wouldn’t be affected by either using Xbox OR burner phones to communicate. The article and the press release itself doesn’t seem to indicate if the feds actually have the data from Xbox, just that one of the individuals cooperating with them said they used it and they…

In general I woukd agree but that seems to not be the case for a majority of ads on Gizmodo sites, or if they are then the advertising companies used here have really shitty algorithms.

Wow that’s really really dumb. Like... Really dumb. $20 burner phones that they buy and ditch every couple weeks would have been a safer option than Xbox Chat.

Biggest money saving they could do is dump the CEO. Their email was a waste of time and money and I am willing to be he delegates 90% of anything he is supposed to do. He probably delegated writing the email. 

I don’t really know why we thought movies would be a good medium for video game adaptations in the first place. Most video games that have potential to be adapted to film/TV fall into two categories:

Yeah same. It would be great to see them find and then get a treasure and that leads into other shit but they still get the treasure in the end. What they do with it after can be tricky, you have to play it just right to not cause backlash if they just get to keep it for themselves, it’s easier if they give it to a…

I have no issue with them charging extra for a specific version of their mod, provided they accept the legal risks involved in doing so.

I could potentially see the argument that he can’t get money because it’s a modification to a different company’s software. But the implication that making mods is not a type of labor is Grade A “I have no idea what I am talking about” horseshit. 

That’s pretty interesting. Hopefully there would have been more reason to go to the specialized worlds like better resources or rewards, otherwise I feel like most players would have just avoided those planets all together, at least as far as areas not required to go to for quests.

True, but doing it as Live Service they could probably get even more money from it. Not that I support EA or FIFA being even greedier than they are but just from a logical perspective.

I have always found it interesting that licenses for things in games like branding, music, etc. are not “lifetime” licenses for the title(s) they are associated with.

That is pretty much never the case so I would be very surprised if that happened. But if anyone were to do it, I would expect it from EA and/or FIFA. 

Looking at some scans of old ads? Wrestlemania The Arcade Game was $70 as was Ultimate MK3 and NBA Hang Time, Batman Forever was $65, and there were lots that I saw at $60. I'm not getting involved any further, but that was what I saw because you got me curious. 

Yeah unless you were born like... Within the last 5 years where they started doing the $70 games, game prices have stayed the same or gone down on average.

Oh this is gonna look and play terribly. This is gonna be interesting to watch the discourse on. 

I don’t really have issue with the price, provided it functions as well as it is advertised to. There’s not really any reason for a game to be substantially cheaper on any platform (outside of sales) as long as they are close in visuals and performance to each other. The fact that other games are free and either…

That seems like an awful lot of reasoning to justify playing inverted, here is my reasoning for not playing inverted:
