Perlmutter is also the reason it took so long to get movies about Black Panther and Captain Marvel, fired Terrence Howard the second he started making waves because “no one can tell black people apart,” and had the toys replace all the female heroes’ big moments with male ones (most notably giving Black Widow’s…

It 100% was, and Leon’s reaction to her behavior made it clear he was highly uncomfortable as well. Wasn’t that a theme of the movie?? No need to see it that way through “today’s eyes.”’

Even Leon character finds it cringey, and that’s what saved it for me. He very specifically makes sure it never goes beyond platonic because he knows it’s wrong. Which is more than can be said for the director, a fact I only learned much later in life.

This is why Nintendo doesn’t fucking love you.

If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t PS+ have both third-party titles and platform exclusives?

Further, Xbox doesn’t actually have platform exclusives anymore. Every Xbox game starting with the Series X/S generation can also be played/purchased on PC. The fact that MS dominates in the desktop OS market (and Sony has no…

Still don’t understand how the UK/EU or whoever can block two *US* companies from merging. The US I get, it’s their jurisdiction. If the US lets the merge through, what are they gonna do to stop them?

I’ve seen the picture of Ahmed with a Jarjar hat on set, and I think they should have just filmed him looking like that.

Oh that’s odd, I didn’t see Jake Lloyd anywhere in the episode.

This is the quality content I want to see.

Headline made me think Dead Space got added to Gamepass as a surprise :(

I think this is all I need to say.

I mean, this is a concept that has existed in myth/storytelling for centuries. None of these games are “original” in that sense, lol. So it’s fine.

Persona, a beloved and decades old series is homophobic for not letting a straight written protagonist romance boys?

I get where you are coming from. But implying that 2 dudes being friendly with each other should be gay also diminishes that 2 dudes can also be open with each other and trust each other in a way that isn’t “toxic masculinity”. What I mean to say is they are best friends who care about each other. Atlus definitely…

Other than first party games that I know should stay on Game Pass, I see the way games come and go, so I use Game Pass to test out games and purchase them if I like them.

“Fluffy meat”?

hi! former kotaku and (until a few hours ago) current launcher reporter here, and I just wanted to say this is pretty much exactly correct. leadership never gave us the resources we needed, and promotion of even our biggest/best stories was sporadic at best. loved having the time and space to report out good stuff,…
