You have no proof this is a lie. Perhaps this septuagenarian didn’t search as tirelessly as you might have to find a replacement, didn’t exhaust every option and shout from every rooftop. That doesn’t make the story fabrication. This tiresome conspiracy of yours has no basis.

Thank you for this.  The myth of the “Nintendo free ride” blows me away every time I see it.

Doesn’t matter if it’s animation. It’s still contributing to the issue of disadvantaged people losing work to white dudes, even when the role should really only be given to them.

The issue is, there already aren't enough roles going for women, POC, trans people etc, and then when the roles exist they get given to white guys by default.

Is it a “bad decision” that you can’t play Gone Home from the perspective of a heterosexual male?

There are good reasons and bad reasons for making choices.  There are reasons that you find justifiable and reasons you dont.  There is nothing hypocritical or wrong about liking/accepting some reasons and disliking/rejecting others.

...yeah, those aren’t equitable at all. Gone Home is clearly exploring a story with a character who is independent of the player. Meanwhile Escape from Tarkov doesn’t have story mode, sexuality isn’t part of the game, and the character you play as is an avatar of the player.

Putting female models in a game with no…

Well shit, I hope Vogue Italia is ready to get inundated with orders for this specific issue, because it’s about to become a collector’s wet dream.

I mean if we factor in tax then yeah it’ll be $40 but it also won’t be $60 either.

the shift key on my keyboard was damaged in france during ww2 and i refuse to acknowledge the other shift key exists because it is against my religion. and if that doesn’t work for you, then only the name of our lord and savior jesus christ is worthy of being capitalized and not even him sometimes.

The only reason he’s not going to be banned is that the pro magic scene isn’t big enough to show up on the Chinese government’s radar. compared to real e-sports the Mythic Championship is small potatoes. If the Chinese reacted to this the same way they did to Blitzchung WotC would have reacted the same way Blizzard…

“Nothing changed in the Godfather Pt. II because it was still a story about mobsters murdering each other and Al Pacino was in it.”

Brack’s statement concerning Blitzchung’s statements “having had nothing to do with their decision” is about as full of shit as it gets. They absolutely kowtowed to China, and now they’re trying to reverse course amidst a firestorm of pushback.

Here’s the thing: corporations absolutely have the right to associate…

Except it’s not! Far Right speech promotes the ideas of violence and oppression towards groups, and actively tells people that other folks are not human. The Hong Kong protesters are fighting for their human rights to exist as a people against an oppressive government.

And since someone wants to keep dismissing my comments that are critical of China, I will say this of how companies are guilty:

Considering you can’t tell two black actresses apart (https://film.avclub.com/1833821389) and made several semi-incoherent rants about how there are no racial stereotyping in the Star Wars prequels (https://aux.avclub.com/1837146047), it’s pretty clear that you are either asking questions in bad faith at worst or your…

But...but...I have to open up more than one program!

I’ve tried. They bitch and moan about friends lists, or other features of steam they think are important. And i’m over here, like you, wondering what the big deal is.

I’m just here for the comments where someone tries to defend NOT installing a free client that doesn’t effect them in the least, and how I’m the idiot for not seeing “the truth”.

The cognitive dissonance that was involved in you posting this comment below this article is remarkable. No, I can't keep you informed, because you can't even manage to nail down when the Halo 4 article was posted vis a vis me "flat out refus[ing]" to run anything on this situation.
