And yours is one of the most thoughtful comments I've ever seen. I miss optimism in media in general, and that's one of the main reasons why I despise the new interpretation of Superman so much. He is supposed to be a beacon of hope and justice, and not an alien Dark Night. And that's why I also hated what they did to…

It needs to be at least THREE TIMES BIGGER

I love the idea that you can get away with anything as long as you stop once you’ve been called out for it.

It’s almost like this is what actual ethical games journalism looks like and not, y’know, sending death threats to Zoe Quinn.

If somebody farted in my fucking face I would blow every whistle I could get my hands on.

I agree that something should have come up at the end, but maybe another perspective is that for many people, the announcement they were looking for already happened, or that anything at the end would still be underwhelming by many. Considering marketing to all these “niche” audiences can be very focused today due to…

He doesn’t have a problem being around people, he’s just a college student who was nervous as all hell when accepting an award and stumbled over his words. Chill out, dude.

He was accepting an award. That's actually the right time to be self-serving. Like, that's the whole point.

SonicFox is our king right now. He is a genuinely kind and awesome guy.

Same reason people hate a lot of things...

He is gay, he is black, and is a much better person than most straight, white people out there

horrible, awful, terrifying.

So I could... enlist in the army, put myself at risk of getting killed, injured or suffer from PTSD, willingly sign up to potentially commit the worst actions possible against another human (murder, torture, etc) at the command of some old guys in Washington, and occasionally play games in a desert?

DOUBLE KILL

Look, much as I appreciate how earnestess of this, I cannot trust any army.

Honestly I think it’s just a matter of they were operating the service at a loss in order to get a bunch of people to sign up and in order to find a buyer like a lot of companies due (see Moviepass) and they were successful in that.  Now that a Corporation owns them they have to think of the bottomline and that’s why…

It’s a scam in the following sense:

Buying a generic “car” pack which might contain anything between a 1.5L 4-cylinder from a Honda Civic all the way up to a 6.5L V12 from a Lambo and feeling like you didn’t get your money’s worth because you bought fourteen “car” packs and got fourteen Honda motors.

The *overwhelming*…

You can play drafts with no entry fee all the time, no prizes of course.

I want to see more smaller games considered, but at the same time, I wouldn’t want to see it turn into a circle-jerk where we pick a small game just as kind of a hot-take reaction to the AAA industry. Like, “Oh, isn’t it cute how we made Gone Home GOTY?” or something like that.

Also just wanna say I’ve been trying to find other gaming podcasts and…..I just haven’t found anything that compares to Splitscreen. You all really combine critical thinking, progressive politics, quality journalism, serious discussion, appreciation of games as art, and a pure love of games that just isn’t matched in…
