I have been following Kotaku almost as long as Luke has been working here, it used to be just because it was an incessant news vortex, everything funneled through Kotaku eventually, as the editorial vision changed though I think it’s the best video game ‘publication’ out there right now. I hope the changeover only…

Ridiculous. I understand Nintendo’s need to protect their IP, I understand there need for profitability and additionally intellectual property laws can be notoriously finicky. Yet there are scores of ways they could have handled this, most all of them would have shown greater respect to their own IP and it’s fans. A…

American had dragged out the repayment for 37 years. They finally made good on the debt they owed Iran and likely used that to help prisoner exchange negotiations.

I believe the latter sadly, the e-mail I received from the Disney infinity team suggested that after the final deadline the PC version will be unplayable. Console versions will remain playable without the community/online components.

Great article, Cecila thank you for thinking outside the box. Stephen owes you pair of cat headphones.

You were born in Australia and you know so little about cricket? That’s a travesty Magary

I am going to need a larger scale apology for than that Anno...

Yeah nerf this guys deck, fucking evolve, or when you both your Tuskarr Totemics drop Totem Golems. You Shamans and your OP RNG, you only had to wait like, most of the previous years of the game to finally give you guys a chance.

I envy you only having seen him twice. Still you show the point, he’s a clutch play that can easily turn bad, his not really a win condition and is more another chance if your luck has been bad thus far then a pure reliance on luck.

And even then the deck has to be built a certain way, Yogg isn’t really a core finisher, he is a back up plan in case the rest of your luck is bad, it’s a perfectly viable strategy for a type of deck that can suffer burn out towards the end of the game, they have either managed to win, or fallen behind and are given…

It’s there third crack, Mars: War Logs and Bound By Flame, being previous attempts. Still looking for that big breakthrough, I want to hope, because look how CD Projekt started and evolved. This is the third time now and by most accounts they are suffering the same pitfalls in execution. I’ll wait till it’s cheap and…

Is it not better to try and say something and fail rather than simply not try? I think we need to be fair to both the medium and the complexities of ideological discourse when looking at something like ‘Bioshock’. While it might not have been immensely deep or thorough, it was an interesting discussion of Objectivism,…

Because Kinja, secretly hates us all.

Those are just not relevant examples, comparing industry to government is not sound reasoning. There are plenty of high profile government reductions (communism for example!) that worked very well... why you would use such examples is beyond me. It doesn’t discuss what you wish to discuss, even citing specific…

Why are you grey, and why can’t I take you out of grey... and why do I keep ending back up in the greys... Kinja... being weird...er

Which is the same cyclic point, that reducing the governments power will directly reduce corruption. It’s a nice ideal, but sadly we just haven’t seen that throughout the world and history. Reducing the governments power has sometimes been effective and sometimes made things much worse. Fighting corruption is a…

I’m curious as to your solution. Is the suggestion that without the government we trust the profit driven entity whom is developing the product to release a safer more viable product?

Indeed, healthcare in particular is considered by many nations something the government should very much take responsibility for. While I’d contest the size and scale of America’s health insurance industry makes universal healthcare a dangerous economic option it does strike me as a strange thing to be determined…

That predominately depends on matters of dispute should they occur in each of your examples. It’s easy to pick cute examples that seem like the government should have no place in, and pretend that giving a single good intention person the agency to do those things in their own way can only be made worse by government…

So the power remains in a vacuum, unfilled? I cannot think of any historical precedence for such a suggestion. Your latter statement about diversity is problematic from an economic theory perspective. Still my intention here is to mainly get perspective of other points of view, which your statement provides. I see no…
