I think a) passion and b) it’s a lot harder to get an original project noticed. Kotaku doesn’t (usually) cover demos for random Metroidvanias, but they’ll cover this and you’ll get a few viral tweets, too. Means people see your work. You also get to skip a few design steps.

So for years people have been remaking, updating, etc. Nintendo properties and for literally just as long Nintendo puts out C&D’s every single time so why do people continue doing it? Is it in hopes that their work will be picked up by Nintendo like how CS was picked up by Valve or is it simply for the…

Being consigned to apple arcade means this game won’t get the players it should, too bad

This comment section will be completely sane.

Oh I can assure you, drivers here can’t figure out roundabouts either, and there are a fair number in older towns like in DC.  For all the noise we make about cars, we’re shit drivers.

Or better yet, make a shooter where you play an Iraqi interpreter during a major battle in Iraq. You have a gun and can defend yourself if need be, and you can can choose if you want to interpret exactly what both sides are saying or lie about the interpretation in order to prevent conflict or death. And to make it…

This type of game has always had a market. I mean, Call of Duty has been peddling xenophobic power fantasies for the last 10 years while making billions. They just had the common sense to veil it behind fictional names.

And Square Enix is bringing Croft Manor to Fornite on March 23 to celebrate.

10 million dollars for some of these ports.

I mean, it’s definitely not a clean break given

Nothing wrong with this, just so long as your Pokemon don’t break after five uses.

Finally, the Pokemon equivalent to BotW and Mario Odyssey! What we may have gotten if Gamefreak believed in the Switch from the start.

The sad thing is that the PvE portion of the game is in a pretty great spot right now. The new season has a lot of cool new guns and perks, the new secret mission that dropped on Tuesday was phenomenal, lots of quality of life improvements have made the game more enjoyable overall, etc...

This is a fantastic book that goes into this exact problem: We as a society tend to reward extremely shitty behavior so long as said person “gets things done” or at least makes it look like they can. The amount of horror stories about toxic enviroments in work places almost always comes down to incompetent people…

This is a terrible headline. Is it $3.3B each? Totak? What are these percentages? 

That fucking sucks! Really not into states buying into gaming for propaganda purposes. It’s already a big thing in soccer and it blows chunks.

WHERE IS MY WIND WAKER?!?!

I dunno man, “blood” and “honor” are two pretttttty common words in video games, and putting them together seems like something that’s probably happened without any devious intentions more than a few times across the history of gaming. The fact that you’ve got to translate it from German first, too... ehh.
