This seems like the sort of article Lifehacker staff might read the comments to, so.

It’s not that we’re not willing to support it, it’s that we have a limit of what’s acceptable to us as users.

Comment section is exactly what I was expecting. People got adblock for a reason. That reason hasn’t gone anywhere. Fix the problem, and maybe people will reconsider. Instead, it gets worse like the current fad of autoplay videos.

Is it malware that’s making an obnoxious, unrelated-to-the-article video play in the middle of every single blog on this site?

Yeah, hating giant autoplay videos all over the gawker network is totally entitled.

I would consider auto play videos, and popups that make you wait 5 seconds before a page load are good examples of obnoxious.

My unscientific method shows Gizmodo takes about 5 seconds to load with my adblocker off. With it on it is around a second.

if you guys ever adjust your ads to be less batshit crazy obnoxious, please write an article alerting us. until then you will remain adblocked.

It’s already happened for me. I haven’t installed the DLC yet and haven’t booted the game up in about two months. The jokes on me though since I bought the deluxe version of the game. I never thought they would trip back in time to day 1 of Destiny 1 as hard as they have and then add additional insult into the mix.…

Hes anything but a dick, hes always been very clearly, an emotional person who genuinely cares for his fans and family.

Accept that in 1997 games were $15-$30, digital downloads didn’t exist so they had to spend more on physical copies, $40 season passes didn’t exist, $5.99 cosmetic items didn’t exist, pre-orders didn’t exist, and they couldn’t release broken games for the cash and slowly fix them over months afterward.

I’m pretty…

Don’t know if troll or not, but it’s not gamers throwing a “temper tantrum” that caused loot boxes. It’s laughable that you would even suggest such a thing.

Are they fucking serious? They think a solution to an OP weapon is to give it to everyone? I don’t want to use the weapon—they’re basically making it so that you have to use it to be competitive.

Best bait and switch I’ve ever seen, great stuff.

You are such an apologist. It is ridiculous. Every time someone criticizes a dev or studio, guess who? Bigwolfjeff to the rescue. Give it a fucking rest. I DO feel bad for this guy and you should too. Micro-transactions are a fucking cancer and need to stop. Besides you are using classic false equivalencies to make…

The only people that loot boxes etc... ‘prey’ on are those who are incapable of delaying their own gratification.

Said fourteen year old probably revels in infuriating people, very likely has a litany or racist, homophobic put downs on the ready, can totally go fuck himself.

I hope every shitty asshole kid ruining an experience people pay money for has to have their parents dragged into court on their behalf.

Despite your assertion that the playerbase doesn’t give a shit, apparently a lot of folks don’t enjoy being subjected to manipulation no matter how inconsequential it is.

Too little too late for Destiny 2. As a huuuuuge fan of D1 with lots of fond memories and merch, I’ve entirely stopped playing D2. The expansion sounds meager, the “raid lair” disappointing, and the overall tenor of the game depressing.
