I 1000% agree and watching nerds have Loregasms in their pants talking about it makes my eyes roll out of their sockets.

RE2, RE4, Dead Space, half a dozen other remakes along with upcoming ones like Persona 3, Super Mario RPG...all of these show it’s entirely possible to remake a game without going bonkers wild with some garbo new story. I wish FF7 had done the same.

I mean the REAL craziness is all the revelations we’re getting from Ever Crisis, the mobile game!

Like, that Young Sephiroth fought the Pumpkin King, leader of the Night Army during Nibelheim’s Autumn Fest!?

That the Lifestream actually carries the memories of other worlds, and when Tifa was in Corneo’s Mansion, and…

Getting real sick and tired of seeing trailers for games that are still 6+ years out.

Do what Fallout 4 did: Say absolutely nothing, then tell me in June that it’s coming out in November.

Media Literacy and Critical Reading needs to become like...a mandatory class in school.  I'm not even joking anymore.

An exclusive is an exclusive is an exclusive. HOW it becomes exclusive is irrelevant, and additionally, your own logic is inconsistent in respecting Developer choice, because you only give them a pass on their decision only if they go one way.

Timely news, especially after the exodus from The Escapist the other day.

This is also part of the problem that everyone is using a different definition for every word. “Platform, store, file distribution, launcher, etc.” And that wildly changes the arguments of “exclusive”.

Just one example is the entirety of the Total War series is exclusive through Steam. The only way to play those game on your Personal Computer platform is to go through Steam. Lethal Company, an indie horror title I’ve been seeing pop up in circles of mine is also, again, exclusive to Steam. There’s thousands of other…

Steam isn’t a platform any more than the Playstation Store is the platform, or the eShop is Nintendo’s platform. That would be the PS5 and the Switch, respectively. The platform for PC gaming is, obviously I would hope, the PC itself. The box with the hardware and operating system etc etc sitting on people’s desks. Ste…

But again, as I said, this fantasy people have where every store sells the exact same thing and you just...pick which one has the cutest cashier or something is just that: a fantasy. It’s never existed. Never has, never will. As soon as the World’s Second Store sold things you couldn’t get at the World’s First Store,…

Right? “Steam doesn’t have a defacto monopoly! Look at all these places that you can buy Steam Keys from!” It’s *incredible*.

Hopefully Epic sticks around. I’ve only used the store a few times but I use it like an actual STORE—go in, buy your shit, get out—not a weird, “hanging out at Walmart” that kids use with the Steam Store.

Diane Feinstein was a older than the invention of the Chocolate Chip cookie. Just let that sink in for a bit.

Quiet's usefullness ended the second any enemy put on a helmet.  It was D-dog all the way.  

To this day I am still ashamed of my words and deeds.  

Gotta pay for that CEO pay raise somehow!

I always get a chuckle when that happens on Playstation too. You’ll witness a tragic conclusion to a chapter, high drama, possibly a character death and “Ding!” Trophy pop “Ouch That Hurt! (Beat Chapter 4)" 

When Microsoft debued the Always Online Xbox one, and thr backlash made them walk it back, I hope everyone realized that was only a temporary victory. Out consoles *WILL* be always online mandated, it’s just a matter of when. Hell, our PCs basically are right now. The number of games you can install to your drive and a…

It’s the dipshit Herb at the top that couldnt manage his own ass with two hands who’s to blame, unfortunately.  I feel sorry for everyone struggling with the ship under a captain like that.
