They also said that loot boxes are surprise mechanics, that single player games are dead, and that Anthem... well... do I even have to finish?

You mention season 1 but have you watched season 2? Also, season 3 (final season) is about to undergo filming so it’s definitely possible surge 2 ends up making an appearance.

Oh, neat, Yoshi's cookie! 

The clockwork furor over microtransactions ignores the reality of video games in 2019, an industry that is insanely profitable but equally unsustainable, addicted to the long-tail revenue streams that microtransactions provide. Are they a net good? No. But cars still run on gasoline, even as they kill the planet.

I dunno about the rest of you but that loud-ass gunshot at the start of the clip scared the shit out of me.

There are other, better comments about this but here’s my summed up version.

It’s out. It’s free. Get used to it.

I wish controllers were made to last, didn’t lose power, had a sturdy connection without worry of drift or dropped inputs, and cost $30.

And with that, I have sent in my repair request. Thank goodness I have 2 pairs, so I can send one in, get it fixed and returned, then send the other in, with no issues. Glad Nintendo is finally getting on top of this disaster and thanks to Kotaku for bringing more light to the drift issues!

That cat was barely thrown compared to the jumps cats do on their own. Unless the thing was, like, super old or had a disease or an injury, that was literally nothing to that cat and probably something she does off stream ALL THE TIME. People are idiots.

I’ve made games. Allow me to ease your pain.

If the endings are what disappointed you in the series, then it’s impossible to know if you’ll like the movies because they haven’t ended yet. But EVA has always been more about the journey than the destination, so as long as you understand that, the movies are really fun journeys so far!

I think part of the point of a boycott is to hurt viewer numbers - which i imagine Amazon monitors closely especially when boycotts are getting mainstream attention- and make them realize that the way they choose to do things can affect their bottom line.

So was the single-day boycott a misnomer because it was always planned as a two-day boycott?

Boycotting Twitch, a place that won’t earn money from you unless you actively watch ads (what are you doing without an ad-blocker in 2019?) or subscribe/purchase bits, is not a good form of activism against how warehouse workers at some Amazon warehouses are being treated. That’s why it’s slacktivism. If anything,…

So he planned to stream on Twitch after Prime Day and then Amazon decided to extend Prime Day and it’s his fault.

...recent clues have players hopeful the game’s next phase is imminent.

Huh? I had to re-up 2 weeks ago and found that reliable eBay accounts still consistently sell these codes for $39.99 so that’s less a “prime day deal” and more a “temporarily have a choice between eBay or Amazon” matter.
