Counterpoint: the DK rap is a jam, and it should be respected in its full glory.

What do you mean NOW? They’ve been there for a decade.

It sucks, but it’s also not that hard to understand why it happens. Project+ is not an official Nintendo made product and promoting it to the public, such as in a tournament, falsely makes it seem like a Nintendo product. There are legitimate reasons to protect your companies IP.

Anyone else remembering the thing in Super Mario World where sometimes you’d approach a Charging Chuck and it would turn out it was actually three Charging Chucks who’d all jump out when you’d get close?

It’s quite extraordinary that the very many responses explaining this article is wrong are based entirely on their not liking big outlandish games. “But I didn’t like Saints Row 4 for being so silly, so this is a bad take.”

But honestly if they enjoyed the game as much as people are arguing wouldn’t they have kept it?

Jesus christ, if you like the game, fucking pay for it. I’d apply this to music as well. If you enjoy it, support it. Art has value.

If you don’t know who this guy is, you’re not a Fire Emblem fan. #GatekeeperGatekeeping

Apparently using a product as designed constitutes a “life hack”. Good to know.

The asset being in RAM is still going to be faster than reading from physical media.

Bernie’s job is 1,000,000% more legitimate than a Twitch streamer, as is a grocery bag boy’s. “Internet famous” people are propped up by some of the sleeziest business models on the planet, and Twitch in particular holds zero appeal for me as a platform in general because to me it is an incessant noise machine (I’m…

That’s nothing. Josh Brolin killed half of all life.

I really reflects badly on Anthony Hopkins that he took that role of the guy who eats people.

This is the dumbest discourse. The concept of villains in fiction shouldn’t be “cancelled.” Just because someone voices a villainous character, it doesn’t mean they condone their villainous actions. 

Well, being aware of brand loyalty and avoiding it is usually a good thing - I have the same philosophy of narrowing down stuff to quality that won’t break the bank, and it doesn’t pay to follow the brand there.

So, the content warning accurately reflects the game's content, but people made bad assumptions about that warning and are now mad at the dev and want the dev change the game itself? 

If you bounce on my balls 4 times, you’ll break orbit. I’m the solution to the space race.

This is some big “I’m rubber you’re glue” energy.

Major? Not sure I agree. The issue seems relatively minor. There’s no point at which this money leaves Valve’s ecosystem for the attacker, and like most systems, I’d bet my own money that Valve confirms payments to devs in 30-90 day batch payouts prior to deposit. Beyond that, the multitude of sanity-check layers on…

Your instinct is correct, Valve’s exposure here is actually quite small. Steam Wallet funds can’t be withdrawn, they can only be spent on marketplace transactions (which only go to another Steam Wallet) or on purchasing games or microtransactions. The latter two are the only time money leaves Valve’s account.
