There is no need to be upset.

"And you buy things because they do things better than... other things?"

Uh... they're the same thing...

A "consoleized version of a PC"...

Hurr "EA gives out free games to save their bottom line" durrr

Down with childbirth!

Are you trolling?

Everything in video games is faked?? What are you talking about for God's sake? Everybody knows this. I don't think video games take place in the real world. This has nothing to do with what you said, which was that the gameplay took place in an open city rather than being linear.

No, you don't. That explosion is an animation. That's not videogame physics. There's no physics there at all.

Still so what? We're talking about whether microtransactions are inherently ridiculous. Valve's approach shows that the answer is 'no'.

Only if you compare it to Halo. That's what I'm saying.

You're comparing it with games with awful level design. Yes, Halo repeated itself ad nauseam - this is because it was downright awful. The same rooms and corridors were cut and pasted hundreds of times and it was honestly an absolute chore to get through.

So what? It still makes its money via microtransactions.

I apologise in that case, I thought you were saying anybody who makes these kind of jokes is necessarily a deeply entrenched misogynist.

To be honest though that's just a framing device... and it's not even accurate in fact, in the second Fionna episode, Ice King was writing an adventure, but then Marceline's story became the episode, and once again it was about dating.

I love the implication in this article's image that only about one in fifty of the people who believe in sexual equality are males.

If you don't know the context and the people doing it, you really don't have any clue whether its the product of shittiness or not. I know gay guys who make gay stereotyping jokes and a Jewish guy who makes Jewish jokes. In the same style, 'sandwich jokes' are often self-depreciating ironic humour. You just don't get…

Er. Is this the same Apple which bans new software from older hardware for literally no reason at all other than 'thanks for giving us your fucking money but we want more of it'?

Sonic, HL2 and Bioshock, yes. The rest... er, no.
