Sorry, but this isn’t journalism. When Jason interviews sources and writes a story about a game studio falling apart or Cecelia interviews members of niche MMORPG communities and writes about their experiences, that’s journalism.

I think labels are less important than the functional implementation of systems. Whatever Denmark calls itself, it’s a mix of socialist and capitalist elements. One worth emulating IMO, but in a way that’s honest about what we’re emulating.

That’s where my position tends to settle. I think it’s a little reductive to reduce every economic system to “good” or “bad” and demand a pure implementation of one system. The Nordic states are excellent examples of societies that take a much more proactive role in ensuring the basic wellfare of their citizens than…

This is a really fantastic piece, Chris, and a very inspiring story. It’s always heartening to see someone bring their dream to life. Really looking forward to playing this now.

If i were reading some #Andy #Benoit bullshit and got desperate, I’d come to the article with ice picks in both hands and jam them into my eyeballs at the lead. MMQB doesn’t have written rules against that... does it?

So this is inaccurate?

It all depends what you’re into. If you’re looking for lots of online multiplayer, CoD or Destiny type stuff, then yeah, there might not be a lot for you. But there are already a few different single-player games besides the ones you mentioned. Mario + Rabbids is a lot of fun. Golf Story is a Switch exclusive (as far…

I don’t know if that’s the strongest analogy, since one-tricks aren’t explicitly breaking the rules of the game.

Why the hell do characters start off in their underwear in this game to begin with? Is there any in-game rationale for why people wouldn’t have clothes in this game world? If so, where did they get the underwear?

Why do I have an unshakable suspicion that this guy has ranted about frivolous lawsuits destroying America or some shit in his past?

As a garbage gamer who likes being overpowered, I’m very happy it’s a toggle. Now everyone can be happy!

I agree with everyone saying that Twitch is not responsible for providing healthcare to its users. However, it seems like there are avenues for Twitch to explore that find a middle ground between protecting its legal liability and showing humanity to its vulnerable community members.

I think it depends most on what you have and what you’re looking for. I was PC exclusive for gaming until this year, when I caved and bought a PS4 and a Switch. Wound up selling back the PS4 because PC + Switch is more than enough for me and I didn’t really like the PS4 exclusives I tried (apparently, I’m allergic to…

I’m a little uncomfortable with the commission dismissing Kensgold and Archer as outliers. The entire loot box structure hinges on these “outlier” cases to generate the bulk of their profit. It’s like a reverse pyramid scheme, where the majority of the money comes from the smallest percentage of players. The core of…

That’s a new one...

I’m sure I’m a pretty niche case but I recently sold my PS4 and got a New 2Ds with a couple games, even though I own a Switch. Or more precisely, because I own a Switch.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins is my first AC game and I’m surprised by how much I’m enjoying it. Fingers crossed I don’t run into any issues (playing on PC), but so far so good. About to hit level 20, think I can get pretty far this weekend.

That rage comment was unfair, apologies. And thanks for reading and responding.

Why my parents and I moved out of our childhood home, I sold my box of toys at a garage sale, and the ones I didn’t sell were given to friends with children. These toys included hundreds of trading cards. What is the equivalent persistent value for loot boxes?

This is fucking bullshit. Period. Utter fucking rubbish.
