All I want is Goldeneye.  If we get that, I’m happy.

I sort of agree with content warnings, really on some level everyone does, that's why we have tv and video game age ratings that actually describe the content. But some content warnings have gotten ridiculous. Like I played "We Will (Not) Remain" and there was a CW for loneliness. Cool it's up to you to put whatever…

Yep. “We want to retire now so buy our garbage before we ruin it”.

Pretty soon, all video game companies will be owned by Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Tencent, or Embracer Group.

Zack come on man chill out, people are allowed the right to free speech.

Under 18 accounts shouldn’t be able to tip for most services because they’re often just using their parents’ money AND they’re more vulnerable to psychological power trips the streamers can pull. The other thing is dumb. Let the parents set their bed time.

Called it lol. Crypto dork with a Tombstone-reference screen name started their own thread below to talk about Kotaku’s crypto coverage. They’re as predictable as the hot new crypto venture turning out to be giant Kafkaesque scam lmao

Oh yeah, I saw that guy in a previous thread who was trying to use the metaphor of how NFTs are a new kind of shovel to solve a new problem that old shovels can’t fix... and then ghosted when people asked him to explain what the new problem was that needed fixing.

Why I have zero sympathy for victims of crypto scams: These people are out there simply begging to be scammed. In fact, the majority are hoping to be on the ground floor of scams in hopes of selling their worthless crap before the bottom drops out.

It’s almost like in the context of video games and pop culture they have no positive influence at all. Weird huh :) 

it’s not making anyone rich, they’re just getting higher and higher on their own farts and dunning-kruger.

Gonna guess you never played Zork because politics have always been part of gaming

Honestly, Roe vs. Wade *DOES* need to be re-examined as it was based on the available data that showed that access to abortion was better for women than forcing them to bring unwanted pregnancies to term. Much later, studies showed that women having an abortion were 3-14 times more likely to die in the next year when…

“You’re a game company, stay out of politics!”
Translation: Stay out of politics I don’t like/am trying to ignore!

If Call of Duty died as a franchise at this point I’d barely take notice.

I mean, that was a huge part of it for a lot of my friends. Playing as Snoop Dogg and burning someone with a blunt before a character from Attack on Titan pops in and shoots with you his 8-bit anime tracers and uses body pillow finisher in a historical WW2 setting is... jarring. It just looks aesthetically ugly,…

It’s great that they’re trying to treat the employees better but it just screams mismanagement and too much work for too few people. Time to hire more people, create more divisions and not overwork the few you have. Sure that will take time but it’s something that will pay off later. Nothing will save the bad press at…

From talking to at least one friend in the game development business, game development crunch happens because developers, like all humans, are fundamentally lazy, and without an intense, looming, and taskmaster driven deadline, shit doesn’t get done. 🤷‍♂️

Of course a number of fans are upset. It isn’t, like, Fallout 76 bad, but Halo Infinite has been floundering ever since its release, and many of those fans have reached their limit. If the game had lived up to its hype from Day 1, there would be little backlash, but when people have been bitching about the state of…

This take that Halo fans are overreacting to poor little old 343 seems a bit unfair to me. Sure, it’s great if 343 is serious about promoting a healthy work environment for their employees, but this is the same company that refuses to hire contractors to full time positions and whose constant churn of said contractors…
