“The Raft” has had me wary when swimming in lakes, ponds, etc. for the better part of my 38 years.

Am I the only one sickened by this all playing out on social media like it’s just another bit of manufactured drama between streamers for mutual free publicity?  

How about we just nuke the whole thing from orbit?

Well I’m pretty sure that guy was a big streamer before he started gambling on stream and he could certainly continue to make big money without gambling so his revenue stream isn’t really tied to it. Matter of fact he’d probably be a lot richer without gambling on stream since he’s lost millions.

I’d give more credence to their boycott if it wasn’t Christmas. They just want a vacation and are using this as an excuse to look good about it. Oh sure there might be one or two that join that are actually on board but the rest?

Gambling and those god awful hot tub streams should both be banned. Or they should make Twitch an 18+ site, not that it would stop people from visiting it. Twitch should be classified similar to a gambling or porn website. They might actually do something about their bad policies and inconsistent enforcement if they…

You mean the people who have REPEATEDLY INSISTED THAT THEY ARE NOT JOURNALISTS, whenever someone criticizes their lack of journalistic integrity or standards? Those “journalists”?

You’ll note that his comment has by far the most stars though, the overwhelming majority of us have seen how shitty this site has become. Most of the posts are paid ads disguised as journalism, and they don’t bother with any editing at all anymore.

I can genuinely say Kotaku’s writers over the past decade have been singularly the most amazing games journalists

It’s not just that. It’s a combination of factors. You should watch the Gamers Nexus video, he goes over a lot of it.

“We have so much bad press lately we need to unfuck our newest screw up”

Fan or not. This is one company that ain’t worth supporting

Graphics looks extremely outdated. I think 10+ year old game status.

What cop shows do you watch? I’m happy that Live PD is back on because you get to see 20%-50% of them acting like absolute scumbags each week and it’s on camera. One of them accidentally put a suspect through a window over the weekend. The less editing they are able to do the better a chance at consequences. 

Ghost of Tsushima was mostly a joyless slog

“Everyone in Jin’s world is beautiful, but no one is horny.”

Opinion...
Ghost of Tsushima was superior to the most of the Assassin’s Creed games. The first few were good, then they lost their way.
If anything, they should take a good hard look at Tsushima and figure out how to improve on it.

I rather enjoyed GoT but to each their own. 

Ghost of Tsushima is probably already a better Assassin's Creed: Japan than Ubisoft is capable of making (saying as someone who quite enjoyed Odyssey and Valhalla).

Why do they keep making Alien games that aren’t Alien: Isolation?

*sigh* Why does this feel like Medal of Honor all over again... It’s EA, they’ll screw it up somehow and then shutdown the Studio like they did with Danger Close and Visceral... (I wouldn’t be surprised if Ridgeline is made up of former Danger Close staff...)
