My first Moba game consisted of me telling my team that I was new. Then hate/vile/filth rained from the sky and dumped on my stupid dumb noob head. That was also my last game.

Same thing here, but this gets worse. Thought it was a pimple for the first couple of days. Didn’t go away... great what the crap is going on. About the third day it turns black... I’m thinking okay great, infected ingrown hair. I go to the doctor and go on antibiotics. During the next 7 days the whole thing turns…

The takeaway: Streamers play shitty music over the games audio.

Firkraag. I love D&D style dragons that are intelligent and ruthless magic-users. The first time going into his dungeon was the best!

I always loved the dragon I could transform into in Word of Warcraft. Worked as a mount, could carry an extra passenger on my back, fly loop de loops. Rediculously expensive. Worth every gold piece.

Everyone seems to start it with:
“What’s up guys, this is *blah blah*”.

Fine, I’ll says it. “Just Cause.”

.......EVIL! EEEEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL! BLACK MAGIC! BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK MAGIC! KILL IT WITH FIRE! FIRE! FIIIIIIIII- *cough*- sorry, IIIIIIIIIIRE!

I knew this would be about Swan! I opened that gate and push the VATS button and it targeted the swan in the lake green, and I thought, “that’s odd.” Then he emerged and caused some poo to emerge from me!

Probably the first time I can ever remember being legitimately excited about a patch. This is going to make so many people happy.

I’m probably only 20% through the game, but I wasn’t impressed with her. “I hear you’ve been getting around Geralt. Acting weird and sleeping around on me.” “Well yeah, I completely lost my memory after almost dying.” “Whatever.”

Yeah, because what trans people want most in the world is to rape the people who hate and murder them.

Removing a joke that hurt the feelings of a lot of people isn’t censorship; it’s a smart business decision. Either you amuse some people at the expense of others, or you offend nobody at the expense of nobody. This was the right call, regardless of what buzzwords you throw out.

Hey, as a big Kotaku fan and an advocate for commenters for years now, I just have to say that a lot of you in this comments section appear to be garbage individuals.

So I’ve mulled on this for the last five minutes, because my initial impression was “Really? really? That’s not offensive, a bigot killed himself out of his own prejudice.” But to help myself understand, I decided to swap out the transgender part with something literally black and white:

I’m guessing you don’t give a shit because you’re not a member of the group being attacked.

I know I say this a lot these days, but truly THIS heralds the Death of Gaming. When developers begin listening to their community and making alterations to the game based on feedback, we’ve boarded the Censorship Train on the way to Unethical Town.

I normally go on the side of caution when it comes to changing content because a group were offended but Obsidian made the right call here. It was a joke that is clearly transphobic and therefore shouldn’t have been put in in the first place.

Good job, Obsidian! I’m glad this story ends peacefully and well.
