“A solution” isnt “endlessly harvest for stuff to upgrade stuff that doesnt matter cuz you dont use that stuff for anything but upgrading stuff”, which the game has been since it released and continues to be. I know, this game isnt for me apparently, but I so desperately want it to be. I dont begrudge anyone that…

It’s good now, and I agree with people buying it and enjoying it. Everyone can do whatever they want.

So, beyond mining for minerals and stuff to upgrade your suit/weapon/ship and building your base, there's nothing much to do still? 

I feel for ya Drew, because behind every starry-eyed young journalist, who was convinced they were gonna make a difference by blogging online free from the overpowering status-quo of print journalism bowing to its corporate masters at a start-up website, was the snake-oil salesman who got them to sign on promising…

I know this I Kotaku and I'm never going to get my way, and will probably remain in the Grey's for posting this, but if really love more videos and articles like this. Ones that talk about actual games and less about social issues in regards to games. 

The man is a national treasure #/s

It's not a fireable offense to say "I don't wanna do this here/right now, sorry". But that's not what she did. That's an oversimplification in order to paint what she did in a less shitty light. She shat down the throat of a well-meaning and respected community member, and the entire community. That's. What. Happened. 

The woman was part of a PAX panel called "Everything is sexist". I'm sure something like that doesn't lend itself to calling a well-meaning person with feedback a sexist mansplainer for no reason. So sure. 

This is the world we live in. Literally everyone knows this. Shit, people like Price have ASKED for this knee-jerk public shaming and subsequent corporate punishment to be a thing. When it happens to people they don't like and their defenders say it's bullshit, what do we hear? "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom…

Her identity wasn’t outed. Her name and her employer are listed on a public forum. A public Twitter with your name and employer on it isn’t your “private space” though she has every opportunity to make it her private space.

This comes down to a mix of things, one being that - as far as I know - she never openly shat down the throat of someone with a history of being a good guy (who had praised her work repeatedly in the past, no less) who is also a streamer and partner with her employer, who is a steward to the community, who also is so…

So then don't let the mob have control. Jessica Price was wrong. ArenaNet was in their right to dismiss her. It's not on ArenaNet to think of what's best for the rest of the industry in dealing with this - their job is to protect their product and community. It's up to the rest of the industry to have balls and stand…

So if they framed it properly in other articles, as you claim, why not frame it properly here, instead of the obvious slant meant to defend Jessica? 

I didn't know crediting the person you're talking to as being awesome and saying "you do great work!" before offering a perspective of your own constitutes "mansplaining". If it's all up to experts, why do we have focus groups of random gamers who aren't developers testing games before they're released and offering…

And any developer worth their shit knows what’s going on, and will likely not attempt to cave to the mob knowing they’re just trying to capitalize on this. It’s obvious undeserved blowback in response to a situation that was absolutely justified in going down. The consequences of this don't change the fact that Price…

For everyone saying this guy is "whining" about people reporting his shitty behavior, does anyone have any actual proof that he's been whining about it? I mean, being asked about it by Kotaku and giving his position on it is different than going on Twitter or forums and bitching to the world at large that this is…

Right, so because an exploit is being used, it’s not part of the game, even though it’s in the game and hasn’t been patched out? Sounds like it’s in the game to me.

This is the dumbest take. So you can't call out whiners for ruining shit because you yourself are whining? I guess Jezebel better never write another article about straight white men being outraged about stuff on Reddit, because then aren't they just whining about stuff on the internet, too? They're no better?
