I disagree. Sure, both made original claims that were a bit much, but that’s where the similarities end.

I think everyone should be able to play the game as they like, although, I think this game is really well balanced for the challenge it presents. There’s a lot of thought into how the systems work with each other, and the methods you can use to overcome it. From things like leveling and upgrades, to cheese like bosses…

Threatened to rape a woman and a pattern of misogyny. I’m perfectly okay with him finding another line of work.

This excuse of having a bad day is bullshit. I’m sorry. I’ve had absolutely rotten days. I’ve insulted people when they piss me off. Not once have I ever thought to use sexist or racist insults to hurt them. I’m sorry, if you scream that a “female is talking to you” and tell her to do the dishes, then you’re a sexist.…

Cue the dumbass cryptbros: yOu JuSt DoN’t UnDeRsTaNd CrYpTo BrO tRuSt Me It’S bEtTeR tHaN rEaL mOnEy!!!! now give me some real money for my fake money!

I can’t be the only one seeing this and think it makes the Destiny Content Vault even more of a stupid idea when it comes to the narrative impact.

I’m 6' and I don’t have any problem with her being fired. I can’t pretend to comprehend the cultural implications of the slang she used, but you can say “I prefer tall men” without saying “Short men aren’t humans and should have surgery to fix their defect”. Replace tall/short with any other immutable identifier about…

One day we will all collectively move beyond retro 8 bit graphics and get into gorgeous 16bit designs.

Yeah, the main issue here is that Nintendo doesn’t provide an alternative. I would be happy to pay $5 or $10 for a classic soundtrack, but Nintendo seems content to refuse to let anyone preserve their audio history. Sadly, this is predictable coming from a company that has little concern for preservation generally.…

Its laughable to believe Microsoft wants anything to do with Bobby Kotick or honestly the vast majority of staff at Activision.

Sure, but at the same time, you’d think folks would be aware enough that if their last project of a certain scale took X number of people, it’s probably unrealistic to expect the next project of a similar scale to take X/2 number of people.

This is literally most of corporate America and probably the rest of the world. 

It’s kinda weird to see some folks with decades of experience in the game industry have the same misunderstandings about the effort needed to make a game that armchair and amateur developers also have.

I fucking hate these things. They’re not even recyclable at most recycling facilities.  Once they hit their inevitable Beanie Baby crash, these things are going to be filling landfills for millennia.

Interesting piece. So is the one linked below, which is one of several as I recall where Kotaku openly chastised ‘gamers’ for crying “But muh accuracy!” at Battlefield V including women soldiers during WWII, going so far as to imply they were sexist for calling out what they felt was clear corporate pandering. Times…

I appreciate this as a good bit of writing. But with respect:

Meh. I think NFTs are stupid, and a waste of money. But hey, there's obviously a large market of people who want to buy them, so I suppose selling them isn't a bad choice from a buisness standpoint.

I mean, this isnt uncommon, common practice is to list current employees on the credits, so if someone was on the company two years prior, hard for them to get included.

Its not really malicious, likely just human error. Most companies send out a request to managers to fill out the credits for their teams. If the…

I don’t play Destiny so my opinion is worthless, but isn’t charging full(?) price for DLC that will disappear soon pretty scummy? How does Destiny’s f2p model work if the old content isn’t included in the free deal anyway?
