As soon as I grew out of going to midnight launch parties for games, I stopped going to GameStop. I’ve stepped foot into one, twice in the last 5 years.

Haven’t you read any of shotmyheartandiwishiwasntok’s comments? This wasn’t just some schlub, he was SELLING ROMS.

He’s insanely rich because he started out ridiculously rich because of apartheid South Africa, I think you can guess

So how is “being woke” a lie?

That’s some pretty mean Joycon drift

any game with unlockables tied to online service should have a built in “auto-unlock” kill switch when the servers are shut down. Also they should just release the software necessary to run your own servers so you can continue to enjoy the game you paid for.

Ah, Exhibit A as to why “Always Online” is a really shitty thing for everyone but the publisher.

This is why Forge should have been a release priority. Content draught wouldn’t be an issue if the community could churn out maps and modes while 343 rotates a community spotlight playlist.

It has an interesting cousin,

Boston is the city that’s afraid of The Mooninites, after all.

Valve needs to do something drastic with their IPs. Spin off an entirely separate company, hand over the rights to portal and half-life and let teams that actually want to make games handle things. I know that’s probably not feasible for a million different reasons, but it’s absolutely ridiculous how neglected these…

I don’t care how much money they have. I get they may not want to dedicate the resources without a clear payoff. So just crowdfund it and be honest. “We don’t think it’s worth it to us. He’s what we want. Prove us wrong.”

Appreciate the direct shoutout to Gabe. His focus on hardware is a frustrating departure when his teams lead the way in narratively driven games for so long. All we get from him is bizarre bare footed interviews from his mansion in New Zealand or whatever.

GabeN, let your troops make another game before they’re in…

I can only speak for myself but... “Portal Fan wants Valve to make the next game before he’s ‘too old to play’ it.”

The ease at which hackers can ruin the game for players is pathetic.

Congratulations!

Congrats on the promotion! Have always enjoyed your articles and dedication to Yaddle.  

Admit it. Yaddle was an afterthought when they were planning every Jedi Council scene. I bet even George Lucas doesn’t know why there is a Yaddle.

All the delays and crunch on the game were because of Yaddle.

“This deal is getting worse all the time!”
