Coming out profitable is one thing.
Meeting the absurd demands of investors is another.

I’m really mad that they used the “modeling is a lot of work!” excuse when the returning Pokemon models in the trailers have all been the same exact same models they’ve been using since X&Y. Not to mention the fact that Pokemon is the number one selling multimedia franchise of all time, Nintendo could match the…

This just looks so fucking stupid. One of the greatest faults of pokemon, besides the stubborn refusal to innovate and make a truly great game, is the continued inclusion of this digimon-esque, jrpg bullshit. Gigamaxing, Mega Evolutions, Z crystals, all that goofy gimmicky shit to cover up the fact that each game is a…

“We’re cutting older generation Pokemon from the game entirely and making them impossible to import and play with, because modeling is hard work!”

I mean, that’s kind of like saying “I can’t get behind Mario’s hat-throwing mechanic because it’s likely to get left behind in the next generation of Mario games.” We know this is how the Pokemon franchise works now, where new mechanics get introduced and a lot of them don’t survive, especially battle mechanics. It’s…

I think that’s what a lot of people miss about comedy. Many times the jokes are about trying to lighten up a shitty situation. 

Just some background for you, as he explains in the special, he didn’t know her before she came to his show. After the show he went up to the bar and Daphne approached him and he thought she was going to seriously let him have it for his material. But she actually said she thought it was hysterical, and she thanked…

Maybe it was all the support that made him transition and the regret that let her commit suicide. Maybe Chappelle is to blame, maybe it was you and the “Trans-Allies”. Like you said, we don’t know. So why do you point your finger on other people?

I disagree, I don’t think any of Chappelle’s jokes were “transphobic” just cause some white folks on Jezebel said so, that’s utter nonsense.

Every joke is going to offend at least one person, you’ll never completely please everyone and you’ll look foolish trying to do so.

I think Dave should be allowed to say whatever…

That’s exactly how this reads. Not cool.

The headline could be better. My first thought after reading it was that this transgender person was made fun of in Chappelle’s special and later killed themselves- not that her and Chappelle were friends...

I’m prepared to get blowback for this. I’ve been vaping for six years.

I don’t know that it will work, but I applaud the GS people who at least recognize the storm on the horizon and are trying to keep the ship afloat.

I was in my local GameStop the other day and talking to the manager. He said that he wanted “to make a community, not just another store” out of the location he managed. My first thought was the same parallel to comics shops that you just drew.

I feel like this is the first time I heard about how they want to pivot:

Was weird when i went into one and saw the sheer amount of Funko pops ( and i really really hate them and still puzzled why they are so popular) but even the second hand games seem to have been reduced a lot

His left click only goes like 5 feet, so it’s not going to do anything to anyone outside of melee range.

Honestly, if you’re opening with “capitalism is destroying Earth”, “game companies are mean” feels a bit like a non-sequitur.

If any game deserved to be priced at $80, it was The Witcher 3, and yet they still made a shit ton of money at the $60 price point. The $59.99 price tag is not the problem. The insane salaries of these CEOs and the demands of stockholders is. Bobby Kotick is the devil of the games industry, but he’s hardly alone in…

I may just be cynical, but I don’t think it’ll solve the problem. It has been definitively proven people will buy season passes, pay for micro-transactions, etc. All of those things make these companies money. They’re not going to just stop doing them unless legislated to stop (which carries its own hazards and…
