To be fair, persistent unlock systems/grinds are manipulative garbage meant to stimulate your addiction centers and keep you playing longer. These days they’re also usually tied into microtransactions and “double XP” boosters

Given the tools, players will always find the least fun way to play a game

He’s trademarking it as a band name. It would just stop other musical acts from using Doomscroll as a band name. Everyone would still be allowed to use the term in other contexts.

They absolutely can do that, a judge could take one look at this and know it’s bullshit but it costs a lot of money to even get to that point.

He should just consider a name that’s adjacent. If he wants something brutal, animals fit the bill so at random I would go for Wolf. We want to convey hardness so let’s just choose another word at random... Stone sounds good. Now Wolfstone sounds pretty good but let add a bit a flair let’s just choose a random…

They have absolutely no claim.

Yeah this data feels kinda useless.

This is my problem with the push for diversity in games.

I feel no shame in using AdBlock for that shit. It’s getting a bit out of hand, given the frequency and length, and how more and more of them are unable to be skipped. If I want to watch a minute long trailer, I shouldn’t have to sit through a 2 unskippable 30 sec ads of products I don’t care or need just to get to it.

They’ve also added extra commercials. It just gets better and better.

“Not count” for what?  It’s a single-player game.  Who is supposed to be counting?

Once you’re able to get certain guns with certain traits, the game becomes soooo much easier. 

I used to think that. Turns out it’s better to compost with the rich and eat from the garden it supports.  But totally feel the sentiment.

Eat the Rich, TBH.

“Look, Marisa Tomei [who plays Aunt May in the MCU films] isn’t that old,”
THAT OLD! Marisa Tomei in her 50s is worth 10000000 times I am in my thirties and still gorgeous as all hell. - I know this wasn’t the point of the article at all but how dare he.
“Look, Marisa Tomei is fit as hell”, is the only proper comment…

In other words, “like in all projects, alternatives were considered to minimize possible workload resources being used unnecessarily”.

Lol it's the mandatory post from the lunatic who just wants press releases copied verbatim, and probably also wants "objective" reviews (thanks Ayn Rand!). Go read one of any number of crap sites which do exactly that with press releases.

Kotaku always includes opinion. That’s just how it is, that’s how it will always be.

I get what you’re saying, but independent creators putting their names on shit is fine, imo

Being down to 800 players only 2 months after release is absolutely a story considering this game is a squad-based MP game. It means the game is essentially dead.
