Its only “political” when it hurts your feelings. To everyone else this is essentially a story about the ethics involved in game making, and is relevant to gaming because it will influence the final product.

Only one solution. Make the protagonist trans.

As long as “lovecraftian” is a common phrase it probably does need to be said that “if there ever was an influential author that deserves to have his work approprited, diluted, deconstructed, etc with no compensation and only voluntary attribution, for profit or otherwise. Then it would be lovecraft" every 5 seconds.

Unnecessary technicalities that lose sight of the larger goal of letting everyone live with dignity.

Ultimately in practice making the conscious choice of letting in or refusing to expel a jerk can count as you being a jerk. Because of that choice every jerk thing the jerk will do will be on your behalf its as if you…

Seems to be a trend. Recently another toxic YT’er kotaku ran an article on Arch warhammer got banned from a warhammer lore subreddit. His response? send his mob of brat fans to brigade the the subreddit.

a) they played public multiplayer they should get cheated

hot take: you play PUBLIC games you WILL be cheated on and no “this time” won’t be any different.

“It’s like playing through all your favorite memes from 2015!”

to be fair 2015 was a very good year for memes

over 7 years a LOT of BL2 players have replayed BL2 a LOT and as petey said every time in that interim someone tried to make a looter shooter it fell flat (monetization, generic settings, etc) which is why they kept coming back to BL2. Now BL3 is finally hear and after 3/4's of a decade of disappointment and…

There are plenty of youtubers that know to stay far away from the edge of looking like a fash and don’t have fash fan bases that lose thier shit on conspiracy theory when thier idol does something remotely anti-fash. You really don’t need to worry you need to watch someone else.

nazi’s love to play these little near miss image games like the kekistan flag. It doesn’t matter its history its now a fash-cross because of the context of the where when and who that wore it because it looked close enough while still giving deniability

Anyone got a list of hobbies not inundated by incels?

I wonder how long it’ll take before epic/devs realizes their drama is just going to drive consumers to other hobbies entirely rather than deal with all this drama. I’m rather disappointed at the consumer shaming going on here though we are helpless pawns in someone’s game of capitalist chess but some how this is all…

Then you probably would have avoided this guy too he’d drop a video on every little thing and then pad it out with wanton speculation making it difficult to sort fact from fiction. I stopped watching after I figured out his formula but obviously droves more didn’t. Gearbox might have been a bit on the nose making a…

Lalalala don't care I got a new hobby now I don't gotta care what video games do until this problem goes away lalalala 

meanwhile I’ve decided to change my hobby from video games to miniatures games till this blows over or the exclusivity timers run out cause getting scalped for bits of plastic and pewter has gotta be better these platform war shenanigans.

Moot point since its a “launch the cosmetic micro transaction store now patch in the actual playable content later” GAAS. No one should play this.

No loot no looter shooter

There is a difference between "allowed to like it too" and "best core gameplay of any looter shooter" when it's severely lacking I that important core element known as "LOOT" all of these gaas L&S games are way too stingy compared to granpa borderlands because they do what the mtx analysts say instead of what's fun.

Clearly someone here has never played a borderlands game.
