Game companies made plenty of money for decades before loot boxes, they dont need them to make money. The statement is more than fair to say.

I mean if that is true, maybe you shouldn’t have based your monetization strategy, therefore player progression, therefore game balance as a whole on selling loot boxes to kids.

Well tough shit, they should’ve governed themselves and not let it get this far.

He seems a bit like a tool but I agree with his overall stance. Loot crates are a transparently devious scheme that taps into the base instincts of people, often times people with poor money management skills.

They admitted it was a quote when questioned. As and when the passage is encountered in YIIK, there’s nothing to tell the player that it comes from another source—or that it’s intended to be a reference to that source.

It’s just the text, in the game, appearing during the normal course of play. That’s what’s mean by…

Yes. Shakespeare was a thief.

Hamlet is quite literally Amleth (no, I’m not making that up) with a few key character positions and relationships changed out.

Shakespeare worked at a time when copyright wasn’t really a thing, and public domain wasn’t a consideration, either—that his works are now almost entirely in the…

Er, no. “Fair Use” applies to parody, educational purposes, and a few other odds and ends—but not lifting passages from a work wholesale for inclusion in another work that is intended to be sold for profit.

This is the kind of thing that causes college essays to fail for plagiarism, and authors to be sued for lifting…

That is what Breath of the Wild is. Every timeline eventually becomes Breath of the Wild.

But Skyrim is on Switch too....

Found the guy still playing Melee.

Well, if you’ll notice,. WWE 2K18 does not have much water in it, thus securing IGN’s favor.

It’s highly unlikely that it was the KFC then. Most causes of food poisoning take days to start showing symptoms. The only one that comes close to setting in in a hour is staph but that wouldn’t last 3 days. It was probably something you ate a day or two before but most people just assume it’s the most recent thing…

Actually, it kind of was. It’s obviously dated now, but at the time, Shenmue had some of the best graphics on the market, and its attention to detail is still impressive compared to a lot of modern games. Compare the Dreamcast games to something like Deus Ex 1 or even some early PS2 titles and it’s like night and day.

The ass in that trailer is all in those models. They look like they’re about 15 years old. That’s fine if that’s what they’re going for, but clearly the graphics that aren’t the characters are worlds better. Honestly, this almost smacks of, “Oh shit we don’t have anything to show,” and they took the assets they had…

Every single expression? Nah.

I find it kind of ironic that you say the dick jokes are the same, old and overused. Then you go and say

Y’know, I rather like that set. Too often in esports, the set is made up of gaudy glowy flashy shit, as though everything better look like a video game or otherwise we’ll get bored. Give me something subdued like this any day of the week. I mean, it’s not like they couldn’t set their laptops on this table the way they…

Well, most entertianing at least... although you can make some pretty damn ugly characters with Mass Effect 3 and Saints Row 2-4 as well...

By that logic Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion has the best character creator ever.
