I know they’re worried about legal ramifications, but at some point I think Valve just needs to come out and say:

If you are really upset about something like this you are unbelievably soft

Or.....

Whoa, whoa, whoa, don’t come in here laying down facts. Don’t you know that’s not allowed when people are yelling about Activision? How dare you not run with the rageboy narrative!

Pretty sure none. Unless I read wrong, Acti-Blizz didn’t cut devs from Blizzard’s workforce, just marketing, financial, and managerial roles. More of a way to hack away at Blizzard’s autonomy, but I don’t think they’ve had that for a while anyway.

Straight and not Bi/Pan/Asexual. That’s gonna piss some people off.

Wonder why Kotaku didn’t comment on the Voice actor chaos going on with vic. I emailed them a month before it even blew up but still silence. Or the sexual assault going on in the smash community. Guess they decide who they like or dislike. All in all, NEVER meet your heroes, ever. Agreed article.

Ultimate is already old and dated because it is a 3DS title. There is only so much work they can do to make the title better looking on the Switch.

It’s a bit even more than that; a point in favor for single player game with MP content.... but also specifically a point in favor for less centralized/massive multiplayer structures that seem favored by many games these days as opposed to (older?) designs less dependent on centralized structure such as the older…

As a husband and dad, my sentiments exactly.
