I don’t think public opinion is shifting towards lower highway speed limits. In fact the opposite, in the last decade I have seen some highway speeds increase and everyone seems happy about it.

NFTs don’t allow “removal of liquidity” my guy. They’re still an NFT for that game that can’t be used in any other game or environment. All you're doing is adding a real money store with extra steps.

Buying art doesn’t transfer the copyright to that art to you, though. This flow chart doesn’t make sense. I’m not defending NFTs because NFTs suck but the implication in the flowchart says that if you do get the copyright then you just bought art. That’s not how buying art works. If you by a print or even the original…

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what NFTs are.

I’m worried that all this backlash stems from fundamental misunderstandings of what NFTs *actually* are and their applications

If the company wanted to let you sell rare cards, they could just let you sell rare cards. Not like NFT has ever been necessary for that. Plenty of property and things have been bought and sold in games such as Second Life with cash and that came out 19 years ago, though I’m sure it’s existed far longer. E-mail and…

Why is this “wild”? Ari’s article is not a review. Moony is asking that a Kotaku *review*, which this isn’t, be done by a writer who doesn’t have a bias against lowbrow humor. I think it’s sort of silly (humor is subjective and no review of the games have used it as a definitive mark against their quality) but “wild”?…

He says “review” though and as the article notes this isn’t that. So maybe he’s complaining about past reviews for the earlier games?

It shouldn’t be this way, but it almost feels like we have to support the games that don’t go out of their way to fleece the consumer at every turn with pay-to-win grift boxes.

None of this is really very generous. They just cranked the microtransaction / grinding bullshit up to 11, now they’re dialing it back down to 8 to be relatively generous - woohoo? It’s standard sleazy playbook.

Played it for about five hours last night with three friends, got just past the first big shocker in game and when I looked at the overworld map it said we were done ten percent.

They turn the screws beyond what is reasonable so when they turn them back to egregious standards, it still looks like they did something good. We gamers are such suckers it’s sad.

There it is, the inevitable, “we’re sorry we’ll put it back to the still shitty, predatory version of the game and not fix anything, but make it look like we did something” response I was expecting. I can’t even believe there was a 20M limit to non-paid credits before this. How insane is that, the limit is less than…

“Why Polyphony waited until after launch to make these adjustments remains a mystery.”

I don’t see any of those planned changes as “make aspects of the game that don’t require an internet connection able to be played offline” so it’s still a complete failure in my eyes.

I’m a bit saddened more major gaming sites didn’t report on Sony’s complete bullshit regarding the review process for GT7, I get it’s one of the biggest, most beloved exclusive franchises on the Playstation, but it shouldn’t get a pass for blatantly back-handed and shady tactics like this.

“adjustments to the in-game economy which were made without a clear explanation to our community.”

Until they make it possible to play the solo campaign offline, it’s a no-go for me.

The Utah Amnesiac

Every year, without fail, when the first snow comes it’s like everyone totally forgets how to drive in the snow and there are just hundreds of crashes on the first day of the first snow of the year

But then after that, oh yeah snow! I remember snow now, gotta go slower, leave more room oh yeah. Every…

Cyclists in California make attempts to even partially obey stop signs?  That must be nice.  In Detroit, the rules of the road absolutely do not apply to cyclists.  And they we have to listen to them complain about how “dangerous” it is for them.
