has led to brand confusion

Outriders has no PvP, that‘s the point.

Why ban cheaters in a single player/co-op game? What harm are they causing if they are sequestered away and can’t throw off the difficulty balance of non-cheaters?

Oh wow ... this made me re-check the offline playability of the game and I found out that there will be none.

Well you can kindly fuck off then, Outriders. This game kinda looked like something ‘harmless fun’ in every possible sense. Like a more competent Fuse. Like a Destiny without the live game bs. But the always…

Given how people are people, it makes me wonder if rather than discouraging cheaters, there will just end up being a separate but robust playerbase of cheaters for whom there is no shame?

It’s because the game isn’t run on servers, at least it doesn’t sound like it. Usually multiplayer games like this (and Borderlands, Valheim, 7 Days to Die, etc) have one person host for the other players. That makes it relatively easy to make the sort of changes in that list.

Tamte contradicts himself immediately. He says no one wants to play as an Iraqi civilian, but then says people love playing survival horror games. I can personally tell you that surviving through a war (in my case the Bosnian war) is very much a “survival horror” experience that was beyond what I had in my normal life.

This is inevitably what will happen when games touch close to reality. It’s weird to me that the guy says “No one wants to play as an Iraqi civilian” because I’ve felt for awhile now like a “role reversal” situation could potentially make for a very solid survival game. Like imagine a game set during the Rwanadan…

Kotaku doesn’t owe anything to SE or MS. Their obligation (if you can call it that) is to their readers.

They need to Sunset the entire mode until they work out a new system for matching players, specifically forcing players that have already gone Flawless for the week into their own separate playlist.

This is hurting Bungie. Anything that makes it easier for people to gear up and not have to farm, thus impacting engagement and simplifying game advancement, Bungie will be quick to address.

This ^. Bungie is crying because people are playing the game the way they want to play, not the way Bungie wants them to play. This is not professional play, there is no money, no one is hurt by this. I would say its not even in the realm of griefing. The only people they are hurting are the ones who want to play the…

This is hilarious to me as who is this really hurting?

Don’t worry, his manager has already hired three writers to make sure that we all understand that “it was a slip-up and a misunderstanding. I do not hold any hate in my heart for any members of the Jewish Community and this weekend I will be donating $25,000 to a local charity group that helps impoverished, Jewish…

That ship was three days from retirement!

He is injured right now and will miss the rest of the season and the Heat have a team option next year. I dont think he will play for the Heat again.

Hey I dunno about you folks but this Defector sports blog sounds pretty cool.

I wonder how long before his actual employer, the Miami Heat, suspends him indefinitely. The owner of the Heat, Micky Arison, is an Israeli Jew.

Corsair has already dropped his sponsor deals with Scuf, OriginPC, and ElGato. I wonder how long until FaZe and Astro drops him.

Wow, and that wasn’t even a stream of consciousness off-the-cuff remark, he stopped and thought about it for a second before he said it.
