Look at this thread. Both versions of this story are filled with comments from people who want to know that she isn’t profiting from this “before they buy the game.” That’s not moral strength in the face of unacceptable behaviour. That’s whining and bitching from people with Gryffindor scarves and wands, hardcover…

The thing is, grind is valid content. I love my Outer Wilds, Baba is Yous and Mass Effects, but sometimes I get home tired from work and all I want is to shoot some foreheads in Destiny or smash some mobs in Diablo 3, without having to dedicate mental bandwith to story or puzzle solving, you know?

What’s so hard about just turning on TressFX on 3D Sonic? I mean it’s probably easier than redesigning the guy.

offends a portion or group of the public,

I agree with you, Camchow. I just can’t do PUGs anymore because I’m thin-skinned and one asshole player will throw my mood off for days.

Black hole is an object, with such an enormous mass compacted in such a a dense volume that its gravity well pull in everything in its path including light. By no mean it meant as a literal “hole”.

Internet needs to stop being horny for like goddamn minute.

Certain corners of the internet just wallowed in the launch issues (and yes, there were lies) like pigs in shit. They loved to hate it. And at the time the game maybe deserved it, but this became a self-licking lollipop that has sustained itself to this day. Like some gamers still sneer at Kotaku as a source just…

I agree. BUT, this is why we have reviewers and websites to take a critical look at games BEFORE we buy them. You have a legitimate complaint about games that are released broken or have microtransactions built-in. But this is a result of people complaining about long development times and/or paying $60 dollars for a…

You showed your exact colors here, you sniveling prick. You think coders at EA are rich? I work with many of them. They are making 20% less than their counterparts in B2B and Enterprise coding because they love making great products.

Oh wow, you really converted me.

It seems like she is having mental health issues, but that doesn’t mean most or all of what she’s saying is happening isn’t true. Considering her neighbor found a FUCKING TRIP WIRE in front of her door it sounds like she is mostly sound of mind. Also we are just on the internet, we’re not evaluating her as doctors.…

I’m still recovering from the non-consensual hot-tub (time machine?) scene in Final Fantasy 7

I would like to add one thing to your great write-up, partially because I just saw “Behind the Curve” last night, and I think a lot of people are missing the point of that doc. 

Yeah. Because there is no “actual talented charismatic people” that are not in the movies/tv, right?

lol All micros are 100% skins.  Game is plenty of fun.  You simply, like millions of other morons, expected the opposite of what you were told you were getting.  

So between your “They’re not fixing shit” and my “Yes, actually they are” which one is more fucking accurate? The focus of their patches so far have been on things that are an actual priority like game bugs, exploits, balance and quality of life issues.

That’s fucking gambling and it is a transparently exploitative game decision. Make each skin or whatever purchasable instead of making players buy a shitload of chances to get the skin they want.

So the IDGA wants publisher to do the following:
