Why would you buy a system for a game without even a release date? If you buy a system for a game that’s not out, that’s on you.

I saw this coming as soon as the Kojima drama started making news, but this near-definite confirmation still feels like a punch to the gut. Goodbye again, my favorite video game franchise.

Me in a nutshell.

So you’re upset that Rockstar doesn’t make a GTA every year, and hasn’t released their story DLC yet? It’s a known fact that they’re working on the DLC, and just like all of their games, it takes a while to make it good. I guess you’re a COD player and have the attention span of a fruit fly. You’re adorable, please…

Cool. Reminds me of the good ole’ days when me and a friend spent a whole day trying to get to the hidden Liberty City map in the sky in San Andreas, going only on a rumor from a co-worker who claimed to have seen it. We found it. We were amazed. a city in the sky!

But how much does it cost?

No it will create a new community of pirates, I already have plans to pirate this shit. Like fuck I will ever pay for a mod. I will DONATE to a modder but I will not pay for a mod.

As a fan I’m willing to accept some variation in the characters.

Actually, most Jokers don’t look dumb. He’s been a fan favorite since the 40s when he wasn’t even represented on film, and all we had was a picture of a guy in a purple suit. And we loved it. This Joker is just... some lame tweaker dude.

He’s so full of shit. By “data driven” he means $$$ driven. Which is perfectly fine. They’re a COMPANY, but don’t paint it up and act like you’re not a whore about it. Yes, Gabe, you’re a damn dirty whore who wants more money. Be honest about it.

There’s value in amateurism. Modders are free to work on something for as long and hard as they like. A professional developer has to be paid for his time. And there’s probably not enough money in mod-making even if this takes off to make it worth the effort for a lot of them.

On the gamers side, they have to pay money for something they’ve been receiving for free. And on the modders side, they get a 25% cut, which is most likely not enough for them to “Stop working at Waffle House” and pursue game development. I’m sure IceFrog didn’t get a 25% cut when Dota 2 was absorbed by valve. This…

Optimism is great. Sadly, we’re already seeing where this trend will lead us. It’s down the same dark, nasty road that In-App-Payments lead us in the mobile game market. It’s a road marked Greed. The creator of the Midas Magic mod (currently also the most expensive paid mod available) “updated” his free version of the…

Who do we have to petition for a twitch like stream of ISS playing Alien Isolation?

Ugh. What a lousy Joker.

THIS is the Joker ...

I think the answer is on this “joker’s” forehead. They could’ve hired my aunt, and she would’ve gotten the character a lot more accurate than this. This looks worse than Schumacher’s character butchering.

Also, I loved that they decided to keep The Joker exactly as it was played by Cesar Romero.

Is it too late to fix this atrocity?

THAT’s the Joker in Suicide Squad? I had missed it. Do. Not. Like. I don’t like my Joker thug-like as a rule. I like when he has more class. For the record, I did not like Rasta Monkey Joker from The Batman either.

Of note, they seemed to have disabled the Discussions tab so people can no longer speak agaisnt paid mods:
