Where’s your proof that Twitch or YouTube streaming an entire game drives sales do you have market data to back that up or is it just assumptions on your end? It sounds like you’re just presenting your opionion as fact.

It might be fan fiction, but it’s a very good fan fiction that I can’t put down. It’s alright because the combat and exploration is better than any of the previous games!

yes they are, by a boat load.

It’s a fine game. I might even go as far as to say it’s a great game. People are bagging it because it isn’t WITCHER 4 IN SPACE! Not everyone is going to love it, and that’s fine, but the hate its been getting is unfair IMO.

Oh piss off. This game is wonderful. Quit nitpicking and enjoy yourself for once.

Your writing ability is excellent, but your knowledge of business and law are lacking.

As a litigator for 20 years in IP, trade secret and commercial law, I can say that’s total nonsense.

Australia is a massive massive market of middle class consumers. You think valve should leave that market because they would be subject to common consumer protections?

It’s the correct answer because your car isn’t omnicient. Will running into that bridge abutment instead of that daisy-chain of kindergardeners bring down the structurally deficient freeway overpass, killing the children and bunch of other people too?

Are we being fucking serious right now? The “man” in No Man’s Sky is there because that’s how we’ve always referred to the entire human race. “MANkind.” “huMAN.” Hell, even “woMAN.” “Man” in the name for something doesn’t always mean a “woMAN” is being left out. For fuck’s sake...come down off the cross, use the wood…

The crazy is strong in this one.

Kotaku might get better with a purchase from Ziff Davis, tbh. Given that gaming is generally a male past-time, particularly on console and PC, which is what Kotaku focuses on, and ZD properties tend to have more of a ‘male-friendly’ slant than Gawker properties did. It certainly falls into their wheelhouse of men…

They’re prompted several times that they’re throwing their money away towards unfinished projects that offer no guarantees.

Did you really just fail to understand the near-ubiquitous literary device of simile?

So why read anything Destiny related? You obviously care enough to try and ruin other people's experiences with it.

I really like the intro to id Software's RAGE:

The Last of Us.

A very well structured bit of literature. Complete nonsense, but it was properly written so bonus points to you (I'm being 100% serious, too often people resort to cursing and misspelling, so I want to thank you for writing well).

First off, comparing two definitions and correlating them? I mean, maybe it would work…

I think what you're getting confused about is that when you physically discipline your child, you're not doing it in a way that injures the kid.
