Are you for real? The woman is a writer. She writes for a living. She was asked to work for free and she refused. That makes her a whore?

And yet it's still not even 75% as racist as the US or France.

Yeah, for sure a white man would've been called an "urban whore". Uh-huh. Sounds likely.

Why do you think they're not authentic? Do you seriously look around and see no evidence of attitudes like "women need to know their place"?

On the contrary, it's only once games reach a certain level that they require the kind of large-scale QA to which outsourcing teams are suited. This is why, in the credits, you'll generally see both in-house and outsourced QA.

You need people to test changes all the way through a production, for the sake of stability, unless you want to waste dev time. And if you have people not working on something for enough time they can usefully QA a feature, you have serious scheduling problems.

I agree that it's a good idea to teach young women that some situations can be potentially dangerous. However, women will not stop being raped until men stop raping them. The best defense against rape is to teach boys not to do it, rather than making it all about the victim's actions. A woman should be able to pass…

I fight this "the man pays" bullshit as much as possible all the time. Unfortunately my partner earns a lot more than me, so if we want to go anywhere fancy he pretty much has to shout me. We're well past the dating stage though, and I pay my way if it's a less expensive place.

"men who get drunk will inevitably turn violent and rape, kill, choke, drag, beat etc..."

So you should listen to one older boy, but avoid the other. Ooh, logical.

It's fair that the person who asks pays, it just not fair that women still usually expect the man to be the one doing the asking. (And yes, I'm a woman). I prefer splitting the bill, because it reinforces that both parties are mutually invested in the situation, and less like he's paying me for my time. As for the…

Yes, prostitution exists, nobody denies that. It's just a bit weird to force everyone signing up for your app into the position of either a whore or a john.

It's not genuinely nice guys who draw ire, it's guys that think that not being an asshole to a woman means that that woman is obliged to fuck them, instead of it being the absolute baseline for being a decent human being.

You're probably very ugly too, and you have a terrible personality. I'm so sorry you can't get anyone to date you.

I thought you were referring to the embedded trailer. For sure hands-on is harder to fake, but it's possible to change the player's experience quite a lot even there.

Not if they're commenting on Kotaku during working hours ;)

A studio would have to be crazy not to have at least a small dev QA team.

So it's "Ask Brandon Wade" and lo, he shall not answer.

Why do you think it's appropriate to trade your time for a free meal? Isn't it a mutual attraction and a mutual decision to explore the possibility of a relationship/ hookup/ whatever?

That's it. The world according to Nice Guys goes:
