Yeah, fuck this movie.

Where are you trading games in? I can’t see either of those titles being worth enough to justify a trade-in now, I would so much rather just keep a physical copy backup in case I don’t want to re-up PS plus

Weird. Businesses actually get those notices? Is he using a personal/residential account as the WiFi in his bar? I mean, how could any business police the internet like that? Wouldn’t libraries and schools and pretty much any other business that offers WiFi get thousands/millions of notices?

I’m not gonna lie, the balloon mode thing seems to me like a very Nintendo way to get people to submit bug reports, it’s like “hide this in your best hiding spot and put it on the internet” and people are like “okay, I’ll glitch it out of bounds,” and Nintendo’s like “thank you, now let’s remove the ability to reach…

Wow. The umbrella of what gets the label will pretty much ensure everything gets the label, and addresses *none* of the concerns of gambling.

The ESRB was never going to handle it right. Their literal job is to show that the industry is “self regulating” just enough to keep angry moms off TV and congressmen off their backs. They will only ever go exactly as far as they think they need to in order to keep laws from getting made.

This is a step backwards more than anything. It’s a slick move to avoid actually having to classify loot boxes as gambling, which they don’t want to do because they represent the companies that sell those games with loot boxes, all with the hope that it’s enough to get regulators and legislatures off their back.

There already is a “gambling” tag for games that have in-game poker minigames etc. I think this is such a cheap cop-out. They’re basically tagging every single game being released with this tag instead of pointing out the offenders that are actually causing controversy.

By adding a label to just about everything, it will be completely counter-productive: it will be on every box so nobody’s going to pay attention to it.

They could have have left season passes and additional content out, and just kept the label for things you can buy with real money, loot boxes or not...

“We don’t believe it does. We think it’s a fun way to acquire virtual items for use within the game.”

That’s the coppist cop out that ever copped an out, and it’s going to bite them in the ass.

Exactly. “Just trust me it’s bigger” doesn’t exactly sell me on it.

So he injected stem cells into his dick to make it bigger, yet ‘didn’t get out a ruler’ to note the results? Moron.

But how will this change the timelines and lore from the Great Ape War?!?!

It is not that simple. Twitter uses public infrastructure. Twitter has gotten taxpayer subsidies in the form of tax breaks. In Pruneyard v. Robin, the California Supreme Court established that private shopping centers are akin to the public square. Similar arguments can be made on these platforms

Am I the only one uncomfortable that freedom of speech now appears to be policed by private corporations like Facebook and Twitter? (yes, I understand the limits of the First Amendment, but let’s not pretend that these corporations are not publicly subsidized) I do not support people like Spencer or these others, but…

Are we really going to start getting in her ass NOW about her fucking atrocious “singing”?

Huh? Sorry, I’m confused by your outrage. Are you angry that they have an exclusive figure so they can make money and not have to close more stores? And if they only cared about profit wouldn’t they be...you know, profitable? Don’t get me wrong, they had some bad business making decisions (Amazon deal chief among them…

Zzzzzzzzzzzz...
