Anyone else see this as the meaningless grandstanding it is? Bringing gun control to a vote is pointless when that vote is going to be an overwhelming “fuck off.”

77,000 people really doesn't matter. Just a cold truth. Plus Nintendo would have to put in a fairly significant amount of effort to make a character a tribute and not just a name, otherwise they'd face backlash when somebody found some way to be offended. Better to just make it a blanket policy to say no every time…

I don’t get it. Was that supposed to be funny? A slick jab at Trump? Fell pretty flat.

Not surprising at all. They see an untapped market potentially putting them in contracts with governments, schools, private businesses, even whatever NASA phoenixes into. They don’t just want a piece of that pie, they want people to think Valve when they think VR. Makes perfect business sense and mirrors Facebook’s…

“He doesn’t want existing customers to feel like they HAVE to buy Scorpio.”

What the fuck was that? Reflect on your self-obsession on your personal blog. Maybe learn to write in a way that isn’t dull to the reader.

I like the idea but not the precedent. Alcohol is controlled because we went nutty and banned it. Guns aren’t under the same category for more reasons than just “I love my guns” types. If you start expanding on the basis of public safety (which is provably threatened when someone drinks and drives but not even close…

That’s not a rule. Coca Cola introduced more flavors when they were a monopoly than when soda became a duopoly. Utilities services are under constant change and they are absolute monopolies (I know this one first hand, you’d be surprised how often new poles or transmission lines are introduced in electric companies).

That is a bold statement. Do you have any logical reason why VR should be an open platform? Other than it would make you happy?

God(ofwar)dammit. Thanks for spilling this super serious TLoU crap all over a series about tearing multiple new ones into mythological creatures. Between the combat bits I suppose we’re going to get all poignant and touching. Crap. I would like at least one or two series to not fall into this new trope.

How is having less competitive edge the right thing to do?

I see no logical reason NOT to lock up exclusivity. To be nice? That’s a great way to run a business into the ground. It’s a product, it needs to stand out. Best way to do that is offer something nobody else has. Pretty cut and dry standard business practice.

I guess putting unbearable hipster in a city jammed full of them fits butI think I haveto pass on this game. The poorly done Trump mockery, using the word “sheeple”, a horn rimmed glasses wearing Rakim listening hacker hipster...just ugh. No amount of gameplay can get me past the atrocious building blocks.

I caught the wording very specifically. “We believe” it will be the most powerful console. They are prepped if Sony pulls a Sony and blows past them.

Looks like an Alex Garland script. Made me think of...well, not Prey. Kind of weird to keep the name of a game that wasn’t a big hit (though I loved it) and absolutely nothing from the game itself.

You mean all that Star Wars footage of randos staring at the ceiling didn’t do it for you?

That was the most lackluster, market tested, say nothing ass conference I have ever seen. Christ, EA. F-

I find the conflict minerals stat interesting. Not for any standard reasons, but because anyone bothered to ask. Nobody actually cares (myself included) unless asked directly and they fake it. It’s easy to find a supporter for women getting a good job here in countries where EVERY job is kind of good. But where are…

Well that was easily the shittiest thing I read all day. Way to completely miss that soulful black music has pretty much nothing to do with things like dialect and pronunciation. The icing on the turd cake was giving Amy Winehouse a pass when she was just another trashy party girl that blatantly copied a sound. Giving…

Actually it was due to Gawker breaking the law, Stephen. I really hate this false stance that Gawker was this innocent victim of a big scary rich guy. Your big scary rich guy allowed your unethical sister site to break the law and this is the consequence.
