Did you not see the legal catch-22? They filed a DMCA claim, he filed a counterclaim, that requires, in highly legal terms, you to put up or shut up— either file suit or accept their counterclaim as valid.

Isn’t it his job to look into this stuff? He’s a game journalist on a website, that is literally part of his job. You wouldn’t last long working a job if you didn’t know what you were talking about.

Is there a “good” time to close down an entire studio and send all its employees home? Whether they’re going into a 4-day weekend or not has little bearing on the shit factor of it all, methinks.

I am absolutely positive that there is NO PLEASING some of you. You’ve won. Its over. All your crying and bitching about “loot boxes” and “predatory business practices” has made a EA bow to you, and yet many of you, ARE STILL BITCHING AND COMPLAINING. Let it go trolls. Again, you never had to buy this shit show in the…

Oh my god. It’s not predatory. Fuck. He kept the game x number of days. It costs x dollars per day to keep said game. He returned it. He got charged the price of that There is nothing predatory about this. It’s just simple math and common sense.

Every new technology is expensive at first. The prices have been steadily falling over the last year and PSVR is well within the price range of anyone that can afford a home console. Not sure why you’re talking about it in the past tense either; the industry isn’t going anywhere.

People such as yourself were pushing…

I’d hardly call it a bubble, more just a slow growing market full of expensive first gen tech.

Huh?

How does making the PS4 Pro mean they aren’t competing in the video game market in any other way, though? So basically you just want them to make a handheld/hybrid console?

As a software developer, I can tell you usage metrics go a LONG way in helping determine improvements, fixes and new features in practically all software.

I worked retail consumer electronics sales in my early/mid 20's. Straight commission, and I was pretty good at what I did.

So, I guess, why do they even let people just walk into their dealerships? If they are going to be condescending douchebags and shatter any illusion of approachability and inclusivity immediately upon entering, then why even let people enter?

Please pay for the games that you play and enjoy. I know that institutionally Kotaku is dismissive of concerns about piracy - they make the kind of content that isn’t subject to being pirated - but the industry can’t survive if you don’t. Saying that is not a defense of current intellectual property laws. One way or…

Huh. I’m the weird one... I like to perform cunnilingus but don’t care for BJs. But that’s just me.

Look, if someone spends 700 hours doing something and then goes on to say that the activity isn’t worth anyone’s time, then there’s a logical disconnect there. Either they got some joy out of it, or they foolishly wasted their own time. Either way, that makes their judgement questionable.

I have to agree with Mr. Totilo on this one. Wrong.

Wrong.

Conviction? More like they fear their game will be trashed by places like Kotaku for being “Sexist”, and that they’ll have hit pieces put out against them for no reason other than someone decided to be offended for no reason.

The Rift works fine with Steam VR and has since day 1, other than the motion controls being exclusive to Vive until the Touch was released. I had Steam open (not on purpose, it’s just often open when I’m on my PC) when I installed my Rift and a little dialog popped up saying they noticed I had a VR headset and asked…
