I don’t have a problem with this as long as the intrusiveness is low. Running past a billboard in a game, or seeing an ad on an in-game web browser doesn’t impact gameplay and isn’t really bothersome. But if it’s something like an anime that plays trying to sell me an Acura every time I log in, then that would be a…

it might appear worthless at first glance, until you think about the secondary market of providing fodder for blog posts for sites trying to fill out their quota

Sonic 2 was such an amazing movie.  I feel like it easily smashed the first movie and I thought the first movie was a good movie as it was.  It doesn’t feel like Jim Carey had to break his back carrying the movie as much as he did the first one though.

publishers can’t be relied on to properly preserve their own games, either.

I get that new concepts and words can be hard. The singular “they” in English only goes back to the 14th century

Learn English. They is a very common singular pronoun, and has been long before trans folk started using it.

And who paid someone to organize it for them.

That is the pantry of someone who does not use any of the things in their pantry.

They very clearly are not saying “nobody saw it”, with phrases such as “most folks now forget it ever happened at all” and “If you actually went to a show”, so no, they understand people heard of it and went to see it. 

They look totally fine to me...

I immediatly recognize the Sonic shoes without them look too cartoony or completely different from the source material like these are usually are.

I mean, I’d never wear them, but they look pretty damn close to what’s on the movie poster. 

This is a lot of energy to spend trying to rag on shoes that look... just fine? They closely resemble the movie AND video game shoes... so... yay?

God Kotaku needs to stop with these bad takes that no one asks for.

“Did you fix the crash?”

Genuine lol at the implication that Epic is fighting against Apple for anything other than their own profits

I couldn’t find a concrete answer, but my best guess is it’s a reference to the chalk outline of a dead body? Or something to do with chalk on a scoreboard maybe.

I get it. If their first party games are still selling ten million plus copies at $60-70 a pop, why mess with a good thing.

Or a few extra months of crunch

No, they’re crunching lol
