Your second question answers your first.  No need to hide anymore because nobody is going to do anything.

Exclusives are a way of creating competition between storefronts. Epic has drawn a line in the sand labeled 12% and now expects Steam to step up if they want games to be drawn back to their storefront. 30% is an INSANE royalty rate and they only got away with it because there wasn’t an alternative. Now there is.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

I thought the same thing. When Jalopnik writers don’t think of it when talking about its exact segment, it shows how pathetically little GM has done to promote the thing.

It seems like the shitty move is mobilizing consumers to try to enforce a near monopoly on digital sales, even though the 30% commission is usurious at best.

I just saw their tweet and I cannot believe it. This is fucking NUTS. I never would have expected to see something like this.

Counterpoint: I like voting on election day. I like the camaraderie, I don’t mind the lines. PLUS the sweet old ladies at the Historical Society are usually running a bake sale.

Mainer here, about 45 min southwest of Portland in a tiny ass town. I’ve never seen a line to vote, not for any election and certainly not midterms. In 2016 you maybe had to wait an extra sec to get to the person to get your ballot but that was it. Always open polling booths.

I guess... if cosmetic item injustice is enough to keep you away from good game play

Did you miss the articles that they wrote calling Riot out on how they treated their female employees? Or are you just ignoring them to make a dumb point, simply because you don’t like the game/company.

So are you going to boycott and criticise everything produced by Riot Games even though some of their stuff is made by the very female employees you are white knighting? I guess Riot Games should just disappear, I’m sure all their employees, including the female ones, would be more than happy with having to find new…

WWII is the reason why I have such high hopes for Black Ops 4. The stumbling in the beginning is all certainly true, but the continued support and content additions were consistently strong. Black Ops 4 appears to be a more solid platform for the delivery of additional content that WWII pioneered, and combined with…

Seth Meyers “A Closer Look” is the most true reproduction of Jon Stewart’s Daily Show opening segment. This is not up for a debate. Less character work than 2nd half of his run Stewart, which is fine by me, but it’s the closest approximation.

Oliver is the only one who has even remotely filled Jon Stewart’s shoes.

I swear, with the coming of electrification, I want to see more and more of these retro cars out there.

Thank you for reminding me why I stopped playing. :)

Counterpoint: It’s been called N.E.S. in English since forever, Ars Technica had an article that pretty much cements that. One game vs. a shitload of precedent, the precedent wins. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/08/n-e-s-vs-ness-nintendo-complicates-the-pronunciation-debate/

Counterpoint 2: Additionally, I refuse…

You never stipulated I had to be able to afford it -

Is it? I don’t think it’s hard to acknowledge that game development is extremely hard while also criticizing shitty marketing and hype.
