Listen, I was 9 when the Tim Burton Batman came out too, but I try not to let it back me into bonkers takes like “Jack Nicolson was a better Joker than Heath Ledger.”

Except Steam has so many features that make it a better launcher. Discordapp is the better alternative for games since they only ask for a 10% cut and they bring a better launcher. Epic doesn’t have the best support team for handling issues and games generally are more expensive there than on Steam due to no regional…

So you are saying they pushed back the release to April 2020?

But it isn’t draconian. It forces sites that have made millions from not moderating stolen content to now actually moderate.

I can’t decide if my favorite part is people fanning themselves in the face while looking in a cardboard bird’s ass or the people who will inevitably be pissed that there’s no Resident Evil 7 port or something more gamer-centric for Switch VR.

How I feel when I’m the only person who thinks Dibalo 2 is a supremely overrated game that was mediocre at best and with almost no replay value.

Every single time Labo makes news it seems like entire hordes of commenters need to be reminded that it’s for literal children.

Listen. I’m in love with AOC just like everyone else (seriously... SWOON), but she is dead fucking wrong about something.

Gamers in the 2010s: Competition bad! Spending five minutes to install a launcher is hard!

Just like Epic’s launcher, they continue to miss the point.

The main difference is that EA didn’t announce DLC for Smash. Smash is one of those things that can excite an audience just by announcing who’s coming up next. It’s easy for fans to focus on the hype crossovers instead of the reality that they’ll have to pay for them.

And speaking as a programmer myself, it’s extremely industry-standard to reuse code. It’s practically a sin not to. The problems that code solves rarely change; sometimes you have to rebuild something from scratch because it’s gotten messy, but that’s usually on the scale of decades, not yearly release cycles.

Except the writer of the Forbes article actually is gaming press, even if the site he writes for is not. He doesn’t write about anything other than games. If anything his article is an example of gamers not understanding the games they play.

What about her?

No, we’re talking about the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. After all, they raged when Blizzard announced that Diablo 3 would be ported to consoles. I’m a bit skeptical that just mentioning that Diablo 4 is in development would have been enough. Before BlizzCon, I don’t think that there was any question that a Diablo…

If you need an announcement that Diablo 4 is being worked on, then you also need an announcement that the sun is coming up tomorrow and that water is wet.

I think their point was that it would have added nothing to the story Insomniac chose to tell.  Which I think is correct.

...but it means the go-to Pharah strategy for most players—lob rockets while scraping the invisible ceiling at the top of the sky and rely on splash damage to do the bulk of your dirty work—is significantly less viable.

One could easily turn it around and say these changes are totally fine, because only “bad players” will have trouble adapting to them.

That is because gamers are some the greediest consumers out there. They want it all! But at low cost as possible and timely as hell but if you charge more we will rebel!
