Maybe I’ve played too many games but I was able to recognize it was Troy Baker pretty quickly.

Gamers complain when the games are different (WHY CANT BIOWARE JUST MAKE ANOTHER DRAGON AGE ORIGINS WITH THE SAME TACTICAL COMBAT? WHY ASSASSINS CREED AN RPG NOW AND WHY AM I NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITH A HOOD AND ROBES) and gamers complain when they’re the same (WHY DOES UBISOFT KEEP MAKING THE SAME ASSASSINS CREED…

Yay someone validated your preconceived notions

What are you talking about? The claim is correct that limiting the availability of games to specific stores or launchers has a demonstrable detrimental effect on sales. It’s not just battle.net and CoD, EA and Ubisoft also experienced fallen sales figures after making their games launcher exclusive.

Nintendo doesn't sell at a loss. Sony and MS do however. 

It never fails. Someone makes a reasonable post pointing out how idiotic capital G gamers are being and a capital G gamer has to chime in with a “but actually....” ....and then prove the original poster right.  It’s become automatic.

See when you say ‘the devs being a bit lazy’ that’s a sign to everyone involved to just stop reading what you have to say

So what engine would you use? What engine allows for that much interactivity with objects on such a large scale? Genuinely interested. Because, yeah, they own ID software. You’d think they could come up with something.

I always love it when developers explain the reasons behind decisions because its both very informative, and listening to capital ‘G’ Gamer accusations is exhausting. If you ask Twitter, 30fps is becase devs just need to move the FPS slider on the Engine Screen up to ‘60', and refusing to do so are Devs being LAZY.

To preface, I’m absolutely not pro-mega mergers and in general feel like this (and most consolidation in general) is bad for the industry’s health and creativity.

If you ever watched classic Simpsons, while it is terrible Homer leaves his dad to die, twice. Abraham Simpson was never a good father. Never seemed to say a good thing about Homer. Which arguably leads to Homer being a bad stupid father. Grandpa Simpson seems to become nicer as he becomes senile, even treating his…

The issue is that you’re essentially punishing Microsoft for openly entering a market that, 10 years ago, simply didn’t exist in any meaningful way, while giving Sony a potential leg up for no other reason than a perceived possibility of consumers somehow being hurt (or Sony being stubborn and wanting people to buy…

the only thing I would say to that was the iPhone dominance started as a natural monopoly but devolved into a patent monopoly. They spent a solid decade suing anyone and everyone over rectangle shaped phones with rounded corners trying to keep the market under their control. but with any monopoly once those barriers…

Yeah, it’s like if the FTC blocked the sale of the original iPhone at the behest of mobile phone makers because no one else had a competing product.

no it isn’t. if you hate her that much you just shouldn’t consume her content. plain and simple. advocating stealing (not just from her but everybody involved) makes you the same or even worse (depends on pov).

Found the Sony pony.

I refuse to believe that anyone cares as much about this movie as people are trying to *convince* me that people care so much about this movie.

I don’t think he was ‘making demands’. He said ‘This is how I do my voice. If this is good for you, then cool.’ Blame the producers, if anyone. Seth was just upfront about how is performance would be and they still hired him despite that warning.

Yeah...Where did MS get the idea that Nintendo shouldn’t be factored in? Oh, yeah — from Sony and the regulators that parroted their flailing opposition.

When Bethesda acquired Arkane, it basically saved the studio. Before then, Arkane had three cancelled projects in a row, which is effectively a death sentence for an independent studio. They had no projects going into 2010 and mass layoffs were inevitable, with studio closure being a very real possibility. Bethesda…
