You must have missed the part where they were offered the slot, agreed to it, then pulled at the very last minute and not given a reason. This after advertising to their audience and spotlighting PAX. That is as shady as busines practices come.

I think labelling both people as controversial is misinformed. I’m the last guy to ask when it comes to American politics as I’m not a US citizen, but Colin in particular has never forced his views onto someone else. He’s not “in your face” on his political views. He has opinions, sure, but who doesn’t in this day and…

They don't care about any of that. All they want is refunds for their fans. That's it

Him getting flack from that tweet just proved how overly sensitive people have gotten.

That’s not the point here. Colin said repeatedly that he doesn’t believe he’s owed a platform, and that he’s happy to stay away from where he’s not welcome. The problem is that they gave him a panel, very clearly told him it was okay to advertise to his fans that he’d be there, and then took it away AFTER him and a…

Chris is a liberal and the podcast is apolitical. This article seems so misinformed. Calling  Chris a conservative talking head is insane.

Yeah how dare they wait for more evidence before making a decision. They did the right thing in the end and it took less than 24 hours, maybe take a chill pill. “Gaming doesn’t have room for inaction anymore” What does that even mean, like what are you saying here? Are you implying that people should be punished…

HAHAHAHAHA Oh really now, I’m worth less the dogshit because I don’t care about the same cause you do? Who’s the entitled one here? Get over yourself kid. 

The decency? That actually seems rather rude, I don’t demand things I don’t deserve just because there might be reason that I can get away with it. If the protesters don’t bother me why would I demand something from management?

Counter-point, don’t assume I care to take part in or support the cause of your choice; if my company booked me at a Marriott I’m staying at a Marriott...especially after a long day of travel. I’m not going to be mean to them and it’s more than their right to strike; but quite honestly I don’t care what they are…

So far it seems better than Metal Gear Survive, so there’s that. But I am keeping my expectations low and my wallet closed. I don’t think any other series has fans as passionate and as interesting as this one. And a lot of us are going to avoid this title until either the price drops, or it gets some major No Man’s…

To make things a little more clear: on NES Tetris, pieces almost instantly get stuck to the stack. You don’t have the long grace period of more recent Tetris games that allow you to slide the piece around on the stack. Also, the horizontal speed of the pieces when you hold a direction is very poor compared to the…

Thank you for writing this.

If someone’s death is a headline, then they probably left a nuanced legacy behind. There will be people in the camp that believe such person was wholly good and some that believe that such person was wholly evil.

It’s okay to *civilly* discuss that person for what they were/did in their…

What a great, on-point, post. 

Ahhh, the Kotaku community, supposedly priding themselves on being on the cutting edge of the current generation, showing spectacularly in the comments below how we can rise above any petty disputes we might have, whether it be about disagreements about how a capitalist society allowed this man to amass a fortune, to…

“...Yet, I cannot recall the last time I was labelled a Nazi...”

The issue is a bit more baked in than I think you realize. The Atlantic had an article on the acceptance of political correctness and what shocked me (especially after having been on IO9 and Jezebel forever), was that people vastly overestimate both tolerance for and support for PC across all demographics. People also…

Chaotic neutral with low charisma is not a spec to bring to a reddit mod campaign. 

I’m not here to add to the whole pro-union or anti-union discourse.

But I’ve always understood it as the Ford family who made the 40-hour weeks with 8 hour days.

Joining the Mechanics union was not an option, i was not a Mechanic. The Mechanics negotiated a clause in their contract that no one else can use tool in the field
