Can we address the CCP-size elephant in the room and look at the draconian control the party in place put on everything internet and computer related? Video games VERY much included.

“Now it’s all over because of some asshole.” I appreciate your post until you get to the end there. That all just reeks of scapegoating unless they were talking someone at the very top like Bobby Kotick.

It’s just ignorant to pretend a company who wants my personal data to better sell me dish soap and a government that want to use it to make sure I am not friends with dissidents or expressing unpopular opinions are in the same galaxy, let alone ballpark.  Data privacy in the west is a problem, yes, but no one’s being…

Look, I’m forward-thinking - I accept that people like her didn’t choose to celebrate christmas, and that they were just born that way. What I don’t understand is why they just have to be so flamboyant about it. Like, can’t you do your christmas stuff behind closed doors, and not throw it in all of our faces? I’m…

Sucks for the Chinese players who will lose access to the games, but otherwise...awesome. Fuck working with the CCP and screw a lot of the behavior and decisions by ATVI. China makes up a tiny part of their overall revenue (3% for the company, and apparently around 10% for Blizzard), but after shit like the…

Someone must’ve mentioned Hong Kong again.

Blizz certainly has its share of jerks, but let’s not pretend like the way China operates and forces ‘partnerships’ leaves them blameless.

And can you believe what she did to Weird Al?

Can't help but feel the irony on reading this article on a site that used to be cool but now bombards 70% of my screen's real estate with ads while I try to read a fuckin' article.

Everything I have heard of Kojima seems to confirm that he definitely has Auteur Syndrome

I’m just going to put this out there, Square are not a good publisher. They really cannibalise their studios and have unrealistic performance expectations. They really don’t support their teams and with the exception of a handful of games they don’t seem to care about properties.

I’ve never heard this story. By virtue of that, I'd have never gone looking for it. Is it that hard to just scroll on by?

I know people that drove drunk often and never had an accident, does not make it OK.

Nobody buys a Corvette to go slow.

Car enthusiasts make a small fraction of people that use public roads and are not entitled to put everyone else that uses public roads at risk, not to mention break numerous laws, just to get their thrills.

After watching blizzard and/or activision go from being good (or at least not outright evil) companies to absolutely monstrous shitbirds I’m never giving them another cent.

Zero dollars. That’s where I’m at these days. 

and every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end

Yet this site name is Kotaku. If there is a sense of irony about “appropriation” being ignored here... *shrugged*

I hate that you don’t make these new articles with each update. It renders commenting useless. Looking still comments from may when it’s an August update is blah. It only gets worse as time goes on. How about “best 8 games as of may 2017.... best 12 games as of August 2017" and so on and so forth. Will anyone ever…
