I remember Lindsey Lohan’s suit against GTA V for supposed use of her likeness was shot down by the courts, though there was enough wiggle room in there for possible future cases of the same nature. Still, I don’t think a case would have a chance: different tattoo designs, the satirical bent... these alone likely…

i mean....Far Cry 5 was exactly that.

Its not that videogames are the sole problem. Its that, as you pointed out, they are one outlet and re-propagator of a very large cultural issue (which I think the article does go into). So we have identified an issue. Where can we start addressing it? Everywhere we find it, and in this case, in this community, with…

There is an actual definition of genocide and what Israel is currently doing absolutely meets that definition. It does not require the complete elimination of an ethnic group. The hallmark of genocide is the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a ethnic, religious or other group. Israeli leaders at all levels have…

Am I the only one having a hard time telling which screen shot is real and which is the video game?

Really hoping the Baldur’s Gate release is something like “and you can play it on Game Pass right now!”

Oh yeah? Well I haven’t enjoyed any form of recreation since my cup-in-ball toy from childhood. None of these “videographic games” can ever match the majesty and complexity of trying to catch a real rubber ball in a cup!!!  

That is the world we live in now. I don’t know why they would ignore it or not include it since the game is meant to be around modern day. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was definitely a main component with a built in social of some kind as a way to legitimately share moments with other players in game. 

Dude. It is literally the biggest game in the planet. No shit game media is going to be covering this one for days for content.

Changing the color of your skin isn’t inherently racist yet people act like it is.

I agree that tossing around accusations of “cultural appropriation” is something that’s gotten a bit out of hand.

I love how hard they leaned into Florida Man

Serious Florida Man vibes.
