I wonder how much of this whole business is artificial scarcity.

I wonder how much game publishers are sweating over this. On one side, it's a major restriction to what is possibly their biggest cash cow market, on the other, the restriction is only on minors, and I doubt many of them are part of the whales the industry is so reliant on.

Now I understand why MLK’s message keeps being misinterpreted or misused. Not even the people in charge of his legacy can agree on what it should or shouldn’t be used for. Really sad to see that it’s his own children who are fighting for pieces of it.

Is it just me, or does that screenshot look like an itch.io visual novel?

I don’t condone it, but understand the why.

The article isn’t about the game, it’s about what Activision is doing around the reveal of the game while in the midst of it’s ongoing legal issues in California. Being upset that the article isn’t discussing the game itself, and asking that we discuss that instead, is exactly what Activision is looking for, which is…

If anyone ever wondered if game publishers were banking on big game reveals to push public discourse away from whatever dumpster fire they are putting out at the moment, this message right here is your answer.

Probably due to him not fighting any of the charges. I’d add that there isn’t much information regarding what he actually did, so we don’t know the extent of the harm done to the child, but still... shit’s gotta be bad if he got a conviction for it, and 22 months does seem a bit low.

Ublock my friend, it’s kind of a must in Kotaku for a couple of years now. Used to have these sites white listed a long time ago, but decided to remove it back when they started with the autoplaying videos all over the place.

What an unmitigated disaster.

Played World of Tanks for about 10 years, and along the way many old friends I met there just stopped playing. It was always sad, but you dealt with it as something that just happens in those kinds of games. People drift away, lose interest, or can’t play anymore due to real life situations that change with time.

From what I understood, they are going to be offering games you can access if you are subscribed to Netflix. Picture game pass, but with Netflix’s backing.

It’s only been 2 years? So much has happened since then that it feels like this happened ages ago.

customs officials working at the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge stopped a truck driver who they thought was looking “nervous”.

why go to the trouble of patching such an old game now, in 2021, when surely this game’s base has either stopped playing or has moved on?

Any idea how much of that is actually up to him? I mean, does he have the final word when it comes to how the publisher PR machine handles publicity for the game?

There’s always a way to “fix” these issues.

I work in international logistics, mainly taking things from China to the US. Been doing that for about 4 years now, and this is truly something I’ve never seen before. Prices for sea shipping are about 6 times higher than what we had pre-COVID, and to make things worse, shipping companies know that space is difficult…

I think they never got over the disaster that was Windows phone. They seem to be going after a market where no one is really asking them to go.

I think the Mac style taskbar is just a solution for people with ultra wide screens, there’s probably a way to make them all just snap to the left like it’s been up until now.
