UPDATE (3:30pm): What we first thought was a bug is actually an intentional fan project, according to Telltale, the company behind The Wolf Among Us. "This is actually a fan made modification using existing game animation assets from a previous episode," a Telltale rep tells us. (The episode in question.) Kotaku's…

Price: Free

Well how else was "Shepherd" going to become space Jesus? Shepherding... the sheeples to an age of prosperity and enlightenment... in space... You obviously have to be a martyr for that kind of thing.

Get out of here Taric, no body likes you.

So that's a thing? I thought it was just bad video compression or something when I was watching the trailers and bits of gameplay. Or bad eyesight/mind tricks. ...I guess it's not just me.

Probably not, but CEOs, investors, board members, etc all seem to be assholes anyway.

I won't argue with the idea, but if they did half the price, would twice as many people actually buy it? I know many people that absolutely refuse to pay anything in free to play. I'm not sure how much of the demographic they account for though. It'd be an interesting thing to observe if they ever did it.

Well, they did give us something completely fantastic. Several things in fact. FF4, 6, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger... That is a fair point about the price though. I rented it myself, back when renting was a thing :). I imagine if I did pay full price for it I would've been quite disappointed indeed.

I think your keyboard is broken.

A newcomer wouldn't have knowledge of what counters what, and even following a counter chart or guide, champion knowledge and game skill will trump you every time.

So what you're saying is that all talented artists of the world deserve pittance for a salary? Have fun flipping burgers for fractions of a penny, with that logic.

On the subject of free to play, it's not the model I have an issue with. It's games that abuse it by nickle and dime-ing you to death, and skewing the gameplay to "incentivise" you to pay for getting to the next level quicker, beating a boss easier, etc etc etc. So garbage.

I'd still consider it better than half the crap that comes out these days. It was simplistic and short, but that could be said of a lot of games right now. It's all subjective I guess. I enjoyed it for what it was.

This sort of parochialism is an alarming trend in Japanese game development. And it's not even new—the "American gamers don't get it" mentality has been around since Square released a game called Final Fantasy USA. (Called Mystic Quest in the U.S., it was simple and straightforward, designed primarily to introduce…

I don't know if they'll keep it, but I definitely agree. What's the harm in leaving it enabled for a bit of gits and shiggles every now and then? ARAM gets old after a while. URF is always hilarious <3. Soraka+Ezreal=OP.

Jason, are you in on the pre-April Fools bit? Cuz that's not funny. I will find you and hurt you :(.

It makes me sad that this is a prank. It could be an awesome AR style game :(.
