Being down to 800 players only 2 months after release is absolutely a story considering this game is a squad-based MP game. It means the game is essentially dead.

Yeah this game isn’t really for you if you didn’t like Aliens or much of the expanded universe from novels/comics/games/toys.

I found a new bug, today.  I only saw your Penny Arcade response if I just hit “All Comments”.  If I choose to “Show Pending” (which I usually do), it doesn’t appear.  Makes me wonder how much I am/have been missing.  :(

oddly enough, about the same? https://steamcharts.com/app/997070

I’m not saying the movements are less important. I’m saying that given the diametrically oppositional foundations of our current political systems no movement is ever really successful in accomplishing significant change in either direction. MeToo makes waves for a few years but we now see clearly with Cosby and the…

Way to totally miss the point. The people in question (Activision/Blizzard) are not leftist liberals — they’re virtue signalling by removing some ‘nudity’ instead of ACTUALLY being virtuous by treating women properly in the workplace.

“After all the context in which that art was made, commissioned, approved was under leadership that we know objectified, harassed, and assaulted women.”

Everyone in Final Fantay XIV is hot all the time and in a multitude of different ways across all races, classes, and genders. It truly is a paradise.

This shouldn’t really be a hot take. Cleaning the game’s image is completely unrelated to real world treatment of employees and it’s kind of insulting both to the playerbase and employees that this is somehow representative of progress. The easiest comparison is that FFXIV is an MMO that isn’t made by a bunch of…

its always possible that they just really want to burn down the louvre. some people got weird hobbies.

I know this is a hot take, but why can’t we have titty in games while also treating female employees with respect? Being more inclusive of women in game design and development would probably reduce the objectification of women just by natural evolution.

A similar post was made exactly 3 minutes before yours, but was about this being puritanical and anti sex.

eh, half of all art made before the photograph was invented was commissioned by horny dudes to hang in their home. the other half was commissioned by the church to make people think hell would be really, really bad.

Can’t wait to see the first person who comments something like “Well, we should just burn down the Louvre then!” and then all the replies facepalming and trying to explain the difference between art and sexualization to them.

Man, if this isn’t some virtue signaling bullshit...

We could expose players to iterative design in video games again, but try it a little differently this time.

“Gacha games are popular because they’re designed around players’ emotional investment in their characters and gambling is addictive”

All the more reason they should be more diligent about cracking down on misinformation, false advertising, and bigotry. If you don’t want people claiming you’re profiting off seedy, shady, or immoral shit, and you profit off literally everything on your platform, then don’t allow seedy, shady, or immoral shit on said p…

Didn’t he create Facebook as a version of Hot or Not? The poster boy for only viewing women as sexual object.

Yes, that right there is the face of man who cares about women’s rights, and not that of a budding incel who just happened to get rich enough to buy the women he wanted.
