All right, all right, I’ll do it. I’ll make that aacrifice for $100 million.

Snoop’s in his 50s now, right? As a dickhaver, I don’t mean to be disparaging, but they don’t exactly age like wine. It’s hard to imagine altogether too many people being interested in that old pipe.

“It also released the first gameplay for the upcoming Skyrim-like RPG.”

I don’t understand why Obsidian’s game look so...bad. I don’t mean that they’re not super-high budget, I mean that they don’t look good. Most of them are actually quite excellent, but lord almighty, it’s like their art and design teams hate each other, and never collaborate to make the art work with the gameplay, and…

The Outer Worlds wasn’t groundbreaking, but for all the criticism it received, it was fun to play. I fully expect Avowed to be the same, and I’ll take any excuse to return to Eora.

Their games aren’t revolutionary, they’re just really good at what they do! I promise we’re gonna end up with a game that looks like a slightly wonky remaster of a 2010 game that just happens to be amazing! :D

I don’t think it’s possible for them to fix the game’s core issues. They decided to make a game with thousands of planets and it’s logistically impossible for them to fill each planet with unique and interesting content. That would be the only way to fix the game’s exploration and the exploration is the game’s biggest…

“Are you sure you can handle this indie game? Only the coolest people can handle this indie game...”

True but I feel like people have been like “Steam could shutdown tomorrow” for a long time. Meanwhile my Steam account turns 20 in November. 

“Now wait just a minute! You just tell us your idea and put your game on early access and we’ll buy it!”

“I come before you today with an indie game! Perhaps the greatest indie game of all... nah, this indie game isn’t for you. It’s more of an itch.io kinda indie game!”

I hope Remedy countersues and knocks Take Two on its arse for filing and obviously frivolous lawsuit.

No. It isn't. These are luxuries, not necessities, and you send a stronger message by not buying a product than you do by stealing it. Piracy just gives companies excuses.

Naw, fuck the big companies, but his arguments are well considered. Also, game developers, like everyone else, need to eat 

Lmao this is just pathetic. Your comment. That you actually believe that. You don't care about the truth, or common sense. It's "big company bad therefore anything I say or do justified". Like an actual neanderthal. It's so so pathetic. 

what a great counterargument.

Let’s not lose perspective, we’re talking about luxury entertainment here. Piracy isn’t your only option, your main option is to just not play the game if you don’t like its price or monetisation. I’m saying this both as a former game developer and as someone who pirated a lot in my past: you’re not entitled to take…

Clearly people are ok with not owning their games or media and this is not new - renting was obviously massively popular pre-streaming.

Yeah, I have a lot of issues with the prequels but one of the things it got right is that technology and aesthetics don’t always advance in step with each other, and don’t always consistently move in the same direction. Of course things looked prettier during a prosperous peacetime than they did under the thumb of an…

The big twist is we find out the Xenomorph originated in the deadliest place in the universe: rural Minnesota.
