God, I hope and pray that the multi-verse trend would just die already. It can be done in smart ways here and there, like in Everything Everywhere All At Once, but otherwise it’s a trope that has been beaten to hell and shoehorned into so many franchises that don’t need it and/or it doesn’t make sense for in the…

This is an actual photo of Nomura writing the plot for Kingdom Hearts:

Timely news, especially after the exodus from The Escapist the other day.

Tbf only losers hobby shame.

The scene should continue playing smash in tournaments and take the thing to court. And if a judge is stupid enough (or paid enough) to rule in Nintendo’s favor, it should be appealed. And if our legal system is corrupt enough to supremely rule in Nintendo’s favor, the scene should continue playing smash through…

Nintendo has made it very clear they don’t want it to exist and designed the game in such a way that half the game’s content has to be disabled in order for it to be competitive in the first place

Scalpers truly ruin everything these days, it’s such a huge bummer. As someone that’s collected import Japanese figures from different series and manufacturers for years it’s a bummer to see the scalpers reaching so many new kinds of product and properties these days, nothing is safe.

I would like all these scalpers and their apologists to get a lifelong disease, but not one that is life-threatening, just really uncomfortable.

It would be fitting. We don’t need Pokemon cards or other fun stuff to live, but it just really sucks we can’t just buy fun things without having to fight them for it.

It annoys me that online merchants STILL haven’t figured this shit out.

Well, what sucks is that their employees will still be willing to get kicked in the ass over and over because vidja games! The young ones are too young to make good decisions about their futures and the old guard are shrugging their shoulders saying “but what can I do?!” in the face of what they perceive “real jobs”…

You forgot the part about “as I, a billionaire who wastes our money on NFTs.....”.

“I want you, not even paid a living wage, to care about my money as much as I, a billionaire, care about my money.”

Gen Z and Millennials seem nothing alike. Gen Z seems closer to Gen X than Millennials in values (which kind of makes sense - Gen Z was raised by Gen X parents). Meanwhile, as Millennials are getting older they are starting to turn into their Boomer parents (minus the wealth)!

And yet no matter what walking back they do at this point, merely showing they are able and potentially willing to make a change like this should remain a massive red flag to any developer.

Even if they decide to completely scrap this inane idea, they’re screwed. Who would ever trust them after this?

lol they called devs angsty, they couldn’t even do the ole corporate apology without sliding in some accusatory bullshit

Wizards of the Coast did this not too long ago with their OGL “update”.
