Those are the kinds of childish opinions you hear only from people who have never tried to earn a living from creating anything and never will.

ROMs of their own games which they legally own and which the person who originally dumped them did not own, and which really didn’t require any “work” to dump. A ROM can be dumped in two minutes. So yes, using a Retropie to play games you don’t own is still very much not legal, no matter what mental gymnastics you use…

Sure, we can pretend that the majority of people using emulators are jumping through all those hoops, sticking with things they purchased, using cart dumpers or ripping old discs... or we can talk about reality, which is that most people are just downloading ROMs for games they never bought.

50 bucks a year to play a handful of games you may well already own (I know I do), when anyone who cared enough to want them has been playing them on PC for years and years for free, all with no tangible benefits for anyone who’s paying this enormous fee.

Imagine thinking Oreos are better than Hydrox. Hydrox cookies taste chocolatey. Oreos taste like sugar.

Also, you guys have got it all wrong with paper towels. Once you go Viva, you never go back.

Lastly, I cannot for the life of me figure out why Heinz and Heinz Simply are two separate products. Simply has the same…

Yup. How can there be anyone who hasn’t realized this by now? Digital distribution is all about dangling convenience in front of the consumer in exchange for diluting the concept of software ownership. And going further, the streaming future we’re having pushed on us is all about taking the files off our computers so…

It doesn’t require them to pay attention to video game news. It just requires the person potentially selling them a Switch to pay attention to video game news.

I’ve seen a minimum of a dozen or so, all the others glowing (most not giving numerical or metered ratings).

Huh, this is a considerably more middling review than every other one I’ve seen so far.

I didn’t say it doesn’t matter to anyone, but it’s irrelevant to the point being made by the person I replied to and to my comment to them.

I don’t see how it matters who exactly pulled it off; the point is Flash is neither the first nor the only franchise equating past iterations of a franchise with alternate universes. Hell, even the comics themselves have done a lot of this.

Switch will probably be right back on top next month, since last month a lot of potential buyers were likely holding out for the OLED model.

I have noticed PS5 restocks happening a little more frequently, too.

I mean, this is what Marvel is doing with Spider-Man, too. And DC also did it once already in the Arrowverse to an even more insane degree with their Crisis crossover event.

Existing players say that a lot because they’ve seen how good it gets, and some new players say it, but by and large most of the WoW refugees I’ve seen have really liked ARR.

The comments aren’t “broken”. Every time you click “Load more comments” hunting for the comment you made that someone replied to, it generates a page impression. You really think that’s not yet another “brilliant” Jim Spanfeller idea?

If that review is hinting at what I think it’s hinting at in the second-to-last paragraph, Jesus Christ.

Yes, I am. I heard a lot more criticism about Rey from people tossing around the term “Mary Sue” who don’t actually know what a Mary Sue is.

Because there are ways to do sequels and reboots well, and because—at the risk of repeating myself yet again—I don’t mind nostalgia and crowd-pleasing. It’s fine for them to invoke the original film. The problem with this film according to the review, and what the trailer telegraphed, is the way it leans heavily on a…

But is also neck deep in ham-fisted callbacks.

LOL you’re using shitty fan games to justify this? Get lost.
