They know their target market is capital G gamers so they can post immature shit like this and their fanbase will lap it up. Check out the Reddit thread from the other post and how people reacted to their memey incredibly long rant 

I loved the base game, started it after this DLC was out, and never felt compelled to play it. Combat was not the star of this fantastic game so I didn’t feel the need to spoil the experience by having more of its weakest element.

That’s what GTFO is at least partially going for

I don’t see how brightness is an issue? I also own an up to date iPhone to compare it to and previously had the original SE and the mini screen is definitely far ahead of that SE screen so that “11 year old iPhone4 “ comparison doesn’t seem to be based on actually using it. The current gen iPhone screen is definitely…

Big AAA games aren’t often pulled together until the last year so be glad they aren’t giving you something fake and we seem to be moving past that marketing tactic. Give them time. They’ll show it when it’s ready. On that note I also heavily dislike the final comments on the article. Kotaku has historically reported…

I wish it was 120hz/variable but it’s a big improvement over the previous display and is certainly at a level where it seems hard to complain. It’s also not priced like a Pro is one thing to consider. 

Crazy idea no one in the comment section seems to get: you can own more than one device. Fahey mentions more than one device in the article.

Yes, I know thin (and expensive) gaming laptops exist, most people don’t buy those and instead focus on the actual needs of their job. Again, you’re talking a hypothetical and not a reality and don’t know how to do anything but talk down. Your “argument” ignores that you don’t need to be restricted to one thing, the…

Dude, I read Ars and have given them money, I know what it is. I’m asking why you thought to link their article instead of the one from the site you’re posting on.

You’re trying too hard to insert the controller into this. Fahey has limited mobility and has a family so TVs are likely to be occupied and playing anywhere is a big pro for them. That’s just one way to play these games and not the only way. The reason I think you’d be surprised is because your comment and reply read…

“a lot of the games available in those are just not as controller-friendly or compelling.”

I picked this up as since I loved the form factor of the original iPad Mini. It’s really great for couch and bed gaming. I don’t use it with a controller though, that always seemed a bit clunky, I’ll just play on my Apple TV (with worse graphics) when I get that need but I understand it for your case and for people…

Why post the Ars Technica article from today when Kotaku reported on this yesterday? https://kotaku.com/metroid-dread-developers-criticize-studio-for-not-credi-1847863848

We’re talking about the hypothetical scenario where they care about pleasing the hardcore pokemon fan manchildren who want to turn this feature off. Why do you think I’m talking about kids turning it off?

These people are completely detached from reality. Last time I post in a Pokémon article.

That’s arguing for even more complication than the toggle itself. Horrible UX you’re suggesting.

Even adults are bad about knowing their settings. Ever worked tech support or helped your family with anything technical? 

Making it a toggle means the young kids they target these games at might accidentally turn it off and end up with an experience they don’t like and they complain, drop the series, etc. Everyone thinks the target audience is them when a game like this casts an extremely wide net. Not pleasing the hardcore vocal…

Jon Gruden is one of those guys where you look at them, have seen them talk a few times, and just know that they’re like this so when stuff like this comes to light it’s no surprise at all. I haven’t cared about football in 15+ years (their first Raiders stint) and know they’re an asshole.
