Blizzard has supported Pride Month in the past. Support for the LGBTQ+ community isn’t political in itself, but people conflate it with politics because the two primary political parties in the US have each picked a side. I can’t recall anybody being banned for anything related to the LGBTQ+ community. Blizzard is…

This isn’t milking it, this is Journalism, I personally can’t wait for the shit show at Blizzcon and I hope Kotaku reports on it.

You guys are really milking this, huh?

Given everything we read during the BL3 pre-release, I honestly thought this would be the line in the sand for gamers. Just about everything coming from either 2K or Randy was this perfect storm of everything gamers have been trying to push back against over the past 5 years. Mistreatment of workers, allegations of…

I thought you must be exaggerating but wow, that truly is an abomination.  

their hugely popular online store

“Steam’s game store takes 70 percent of games’ sales and gives developers 30 percent;”

Got to go with the above statements. Call em entitled, call em pissy, but all the users have is a voice. That’s all well and good and trust me, NOT AT ALL NEW.

Within the reddit were plenty of legit complaints about the fact that it’s unfair for a skin to cost 18 bucks, that you can’t buy eighteen dollars worth of in-game money, you’d have to pay even more to get a twenty dollar pack, that you could buy other games for twenty bucks that are quite good instead of a simple…
