You made this whole argument, Karen, and didn’t use a single example. Karen, please reference a studio and account for operation costs, marketing, insurance, shareholder and parent company satisfaction, government assistance and taxes, AND address a specific example that matched the level of success you believe in.

Oh wow you really got a strong understanding of a multibillion industry, Karen. If only if people just did what you say! What a solution! Thanks for your feedback, Karen.

Karen, does your workbase live in fucking Poland with a bunch of money funneled in by the government? No? Well then step off, Karen. You clearly think you know the marketplace when you have no idea.

Damn, there’s finally someone here who can make a solid enough argument. I largely agree with you, but it’s still too simple of a breakdown. But yes, shareholders are some of the worst fuckers in this broader conversation about monetization.

Naw Karen, I really just want to make amazing games and then put in a clause that you and specifically you cannot play it and then work my way up so all videogames are kept out of your hands. You see Karen, I’m petty.

Also pick a fucking battle that isn’t about videogames, you child.

Well duh, Karen. The system is broken, but we have pathetic chodes whose sole cultural touchstone is as “gamer” so that’s what makes them upset, fucking videogame prices.

Wow you’re really bad at picking examples and should probably go back to work farting into a box. 

Prove it, Karen. SHOW THE RECEIPTS.

Where is the proof, Karen?

BRAVE

Then games need to go up in price. The $50-60 pricing model has not kept up with inflation. At all. It’s either get this game with some minor microtransactions, or we will increasingly not see these games much at all.

I just don’t get it. Why can’t developers make all the games with all the content for ME when I want it. They should also lower the price of games to like $20 so more people will play it and not pirate it. Also, DLC used to be free and they should go back to that and give me all the new content for free. Also I want…

The amount of porn of Reinhardt is pretty amazing. We need more sexy manses in games. 

In before Kohler posts a version of this and then makes it a Kotaku “article”

Wait, an article about people within Japan who don’t vilify non-Japanese and paints weeaboos in a corner recognizing the Japanese are just normal people like the rest of us and that they aren’t perfect demure sexy ladies with rainbow hair.

I live for this woo woo wealthy woman nonsense (within this context). It’s like she lives in her own silly little world.

So...Chris, you typically write about one article every two days, and lately it has been almost exclusively about MM2 or...promoting your own levels. What makes you news worthy enough? What do you even do for Kotaku except promote yourself or fixate on Nintendo?

I adore Bawkbasoup. He’s possibly the most charming runner I know of.

I want to see this on r/gaming and see if those chucklefucks will realize their precious games are being attacked by this administration.

He got attention and got to enjoy a two week break. He won.
