This was very moving piece/analysis. This is what people who write about games should aspire toward.

The Banner Saga is on there too.

I don't trade regularly, but I have done it.

I don't doubt that this has happened, but I've been active on Steam for 8 years and I've never come across this. Maybe onslaught isn't the right word.

Add to that the several million more people that play PC games outside of Steam, and it's looking like the PC gaming business is bigger than it's ever been.

I couldn't tell you exactly what they mean by active, but I imagine active accounts need to have played at least one game. I don't think those running phishing accounts would bother with that.

I second that. Everything could appear to be running like a well oiled machine on set, then you discover the next day that some careless (but honest mistake) the AC or mixer made created hours of additional work in post. And of course, you can't just get everybody back together and shoot again, because that'd be…

I talk to law enforcement constantly. It's one of the most frustrating experiences of my life trying to get arrests. Look for articles from me soon about the systematic inability of law enforcement to respond to these threats, because it's complete BS.

If you think this is still all about ethics in games journalism, you are completely fooling yourself. Gamergaters still get to play everything they want to without consequence, but still want to make themselves the victim because they're no longer the sole focus of all games development.

The corniest didn't bother me so much, this series in particular has numerous examples of misrepresenting video games.

I love that somebody actually bothered to sit down and think about something as crazy as a Mario timeline, and I'm really surprised at the reasons he came up with.

A games length is not the problem, it's that longer games tend to not do anything with all that extra time.

I've only ever had disconnecting issues when they were in the middle of a giant seasonal sale. It has only been a handful of times since I started using steam as my main gaming platform in 2007 and it's always resolved itself in a couple of hours; and whenever it's not connecting, it still allows me to play single…

You could've just bought a really nice gaming laptop that would play nearly everything those consoles have to offer and retain the ability to edit photos and movies, work on PDFs, or make games yourself... Course Kotaku wouldn't make the post, "Man buys sick ass gaming laptop."

I heard that exact same quote from two separate people. Their stories were remarkably similar. They used to play games, now they don't. One complained about the fragmentation of PC gaming – the need to have Origin to play EA Games when he just wanted to play on Steam, issues with Ubisoft's uPlay. "How am I supposed to…

I can't wait to buy this on Steam and never play it... I'm saying this jokingly, but it's probably what will happen.

Did you read Kotaku's response to this non-sense? (I apologize for not linking, but it's taking me more time to find than I care to devote to this). To sum up, Stephen Totilo addressed the role that Kotaku and Mr. Grayson had in this mess and found that not only had Mr. Grayson not written about Zoe Quinn or…

Big name publishers are paying for positive reviews by youtubers.... yet I hear more shock and hatred surrounding Zoe Quinn and her FREE game.

It's not so much that he's racist. It's more that he's all about what's good for him regardless of what it does for other people.

I don't think I'd ever want to play a physical version of HS. You'd have to have a million tokens to keep track of buffs and be constantly rolling dice to determine random effects.
