Fong expected more regulation as video games continues to grow in status, but it was important for developers to work with government along the way. 

too bad she didn’t try to kill people with a gun or homemade explosives, she might would have got to broadcast longer

The title animated gif kinda reminds me of the good ol’ days of CS_surf...

I’m personally hoping when they do the Q&A, someone tosses up a fake question during the vetting process, and then brings it up for real at the mic. If a few people do it, they’re going to get kicked out. But if everyone does it, its going to be hilarious to hear what they say.

If BlizzCon is nothing but a field of Pooh Bear and Mei, I will spend my entire weekend watching the stream.

...I do not watch streams as a general rule (I’m old; I see nothing wrong with streams, they’re just not the kind of entertainment I am used to), but I will tune all the way in for something like that.

OK, so the US college students will also get a six month suspension right?  If it’s just policy and nothing to do with China, that has to be coming next doesn’t it?

Then why did your social media team apologize to China first before any statement was given? OmegaLUL

You are free to use it, as I stole it from Malcolm X and think it really drives home its point.

And before you get out all the way over your skis: clothing and other necessary items are generally non-negotiable. Unless we completely rework the rules of modern American society writ large and general human modesty, we’re not going to walk about unclothed—and given the ubiquity and professional necessity of cell…

Stabbing someone with an 8 inch knife and then pulling it back out 4 inches is not progress.

Brack’s statement concerning Blitzchung’s statements “having had nothing to do with their decision” is about as full of shit as it gets. They absolutely kowtowed to China, and now they’re trying to reverse course amidst a firestorm of pushback.

Here’s the thing: corporations absolutely have the right to associate…

“The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made,” wrote Brack. “I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision...”

And you don’t even need to fiddle with your Ethernet cord!

And miss out on all the content generated by the cheese’s presence?

In a world where Atheon cheesing was a thing you would think that Bungie did some qa testing on all following bosses.

I think that means players and commentators need to discuss politics on air. If we’ve reached the point where the room has ramped up to, “Mention this and you’re fucking gone!” skipping, “Eh, it’ll make things awkward” and “Come on, that’s frowned upon” entirely, then I think it’s time to say fuck them and talk about…

If you keep on writing about politics Kotaku will be shut down too.

This argument that you should support Blizzard to support the rank and file workers is bad one. The people making the decisions at the top need these employees more than the employees need Blizzard.

PvE is fun and the story missions are pretty great, but like you I don’t care much for PvP. And unfortunately PvP is still about 50% of the game.
