LOL ... I don’t think that it’s a “hot take”. You’ll find plenty of people agreeing with you. (Not me. I loved FF-X for it’s story and combat, although the limited equipment / accessories system was a shame. FF-X2's combat was fun and really fast. Sad that the story sucked, so I never completed it... I have it on the…

I think that the article’s title says it all: “An easy mode has never ruined a game”. Can you tell me how your experience of a game like Sekiro would be changed if additionally to the current normal mode it included an easy mode? We are not talking about changing the current normal, but adding an easy mode.

I wouldn’t call it nonsensical, it’s just the most straightforward business answer you could get and one you rarely see given out like this. It’s basically: “Our only real policy is making money and preventing not making money. If a game on Steam puts us at risk of not making money, then we’ll pull it out.”

Yes, I read a bit more about it and figured that was the case. The thing is that it was okay as long as it wasn’t Netflix doing it. If he wants to play the “they’re only doing the bare minimum” card, then it will apply to everyone and that may have unintended circumstances.

I don’t think the theater experience will die. It’s not the same watching a movie at the theater than watching at home. And movies with solid theater releases just make too much money. People are willing to pay the premium price for the experience and the premier even if the movie will be on Netflix 2 or 3 months…

Is this actually a good hoax? I mean, if it caused people to be more concerned about what their children are viewing online, it could actually have done some good.

Seriously, when someone decides to do an AMA in 8chan... “do you even Internet?”

Nice! From The Promised Neverland. The intro one is really good too.

Why the insults? Can’t you have a decent conversation like an adult? Would you be talking to me that way if we were discussing the issue face to face?

Scams are basically ways of taking advantage of “idiots” as you put it and they’re still a crime.

Thing is... if they would have told Cole in the beginning that the Heirloom set cost was $500, he may not have bought it. The thing with gambling is that you don’t know what you’re going to get. So probably he thought that he would spend $100 or a bit more. But after spending $300, I imagine that on his mind he was…

Now I get the Luigi reference!!!

I think that you’re focusing too much on the “need” for the name to be a combination of Bowser and Peach and less on the fact that Bowsette is a cool and cute name. That’s why it stuck. People like the name more than they care it not being a hybrid of two other names.

I wonder what this means for eSports as a whole. I mean, this is something very specific to eSports... a developer simply saying that they will not support the game anymore! It’s not like anyone can do the same with basketball, for example. Even if the NBA closes down, players can play abroad or a new league can be…

I like that the art designers took the time to make sure that every different image is showing the exact amount of gold bars that you’re buying (i.e. one box has 20 bars and one gold pyramid has 15 gold bards... and the first image only has a small pyramid with 5 bars).

Yeah, you and noodles make excellent points I didn’t consider. Some of those names I recognize myself. I’m in my thirties, so I was around during the 80's but too young to have cared about the details of who were the creators back then.

Didn’t knew that fact about EA. Interesting!

Thanks. Great article! Makes you feel the kind of awkward position these gentlemen must have been in. I think that most people that started in the video game industry before / during the 80s feel the same way.

Also people forget that the Vita was a pioneer on the OLED screens (which they later changed to LCD). People talk about smartphones having OLED screens as if it’s the newest thing and I think... “the Vita had that years ago!”

Glad to know I’m not the only one who likes this movie. I think the Director’s Cut version is even better, since it adds a bit more depth to some of the characters arcs.
