Hsnt the FGC always been extremely toxic and cringey? Of all the sexual misconduct stories coming out of the gaming industry lately, this one is not surprising. At all.

I’m SURE these developers weren’t looking for a reason to pull their games out of that pending shitshow to begin with.

That doesn’t mean we should be happy about putting a cold piece of toast as the opposition.

What if they rallied the dems with a nominee who isn’t shit?

This is going to be a very long, very dumb, and very depressing 6 months.

Nah, they’re the best part of all this.

video games aren’t lent more legitimacy by being made into movies

You may be confused . The last Indiana Jones and the last crusade was released in 1989. Not sure what this 2008 Indiana Jones you’re talking about is.

Exactly, the movies are getting with the times. Would be cool if they went the AC Odyssey route with a major game like this. Give players a choice.

...and yes, I know there are narrative developments in that game that justify the switch, but it was still a fuckjob, and Sutherland was awful.  Don’t @ me.

Look, I’m not saying these folks’ jobs aren’t demanding and/or stressful,

It’s called motherfucking capitalism in action baby.

i actually thought that Alex’s take was one of the best ones i’ve seen on that subject, especially because lovecraft gets an inordinate amount of discussion in that sphere. you dont get the same ‘but did you know he was incredibly racist?!?!?!’ taking up half of every review of a new jungle book or john carter movie…

“The sad thing is that these people, young or old, are just hurting the movement and the chance to make positive change happen, because all they do is turn the middle or people who can be influenced off[.]”

Ah yes the old “your accurately calling things racist/homophobic/transphobic/sexist made me…

““strong arm bullying” people into universal healthcare, free college, gun control, and economic reform is the same thing as pushing people into homophobia, racism, sexism, and fascism”

I think you have a narrow perception of Chinese media because there are a ton of original Chinese media franchises, but these rip offs get media attention stateside, and the only shows.
