Bungie doesn’t seem to think it’s that important, especially for new players who won’t be experiencing a lot of it via the game as nature intended. Hope they enjoy hunkering down for some “light” reading at the Ishtari Collective or watching Youtube lore videos.

Even so, it wasn’t always this way. I think the serious shift of video games being a “boys only” club happened sometime in the early 90's.

I explained this in a Reddit post that is now deleted because it was buried under a litany of bro culture hate, where Afrasabi, Greg Street and others on the panel obviously and openly made these candid remarks without remorse, without consideration.

So, I’m willing to bet that the pavilion was pitched by and put together by some third party agency. I say that because I work at one of those agencies.

By and large, I think the mentality that would think a stripper pole is a good idea thankfully being forced to die but there are still a lot of troglodytes that are…

I was working as a contractor at Microsoft Game Studios several years ago, when some game studio (I can’t remember which one) made headlines by setting up a pavilion outside the Expo that included a stripper pole. I said something about that being not at all cool, and some of my (male) coworkers spoke up in defense of…

In the video she asks the question, people in the crowd cheer and the men on the panel looks chastened. Then men in the audience start booing loudly and you can see the panel become emboldened to start openly making fun of her. There is a lessen here about the fact that the misogyny in the game industry is reinforced…

That’s always been my opinion. I really don’t think these ‘crosshair cheats’ should be considered unfair, regardless of whether they’re built into the monitor, a piece of clear tape with a sharpie dot, or other method created to make a click-bait video.

Imagine having such a kotaku hate boner that you have to find a way to contort it in such a way that Amazon uses your own dick to fuck you from behind.

But won't someone think about the corporations?!?!

Amazon is a garbage company so are your tears

Immediately when I saw the thumbnail image I straight up almost threw my phone in the air. It’s fucked up as a joke and even more so in the goddamn context.

Things this rotten aren’t invisible. Either he knew and chose to do nothing, or he chose not to see it. Either way, he didn’t ‘fail’ them. He *chose* to be part of the problem rather than the solution.

it seems a bit odd to pick a specific beat that she addressed in a pretty reasonable manner, at least to me.

I can’t believe that Kotaku, a site for video game opinions, published an opinion about a video game! Disgusting and unforgivable. As a paying subscriber, I don’t exist because this site is free.

“stop the gatekeeping and negativity” as a defense of predatory gambling shit in games. guess it was just a matter of time til some kids who just grew up with this shit think of it as normal and bend backwards to defend it with social justice language lol.  you know there’s a more dignified way to live than doing the…

I dunno man the state of the mobile market is not really the hill to die on.

Sorry gacha deserves to get shit on, its a blight upon mankind. Your friends that enjoy them could enjoy the exact same games without being monetized out of every available orifice.

They could always be disassembled for recovery of raw materials, and it becomes much harder to sort everything for recycling once it’s been smashed into small pieces.

“How many computers do you think we should get for our crypto-mining operation??

“I dunno, a thousand?”

“That’s great. But what if we got a thousand. And then added another.....69?”

“Nice.”

If Legion proved anything to me, it’s that the studio that made Watch Dogs 2 needs to be the only studio that makes Watch Dogs.
