What I want from Kotaku:

If Sony couldn’t guarantee they could continue to provide the shows, they shouldn’t have sold those shows in the first place.

Because the customers bought the shows from Sony. Therefore Sony is the only party with an obligation to the customers. Sony, in turn, has an agreement with Discovery. If Discovery is the bad actor, it’s Sony who needs to resolve it.

I’m gonna say I feel bad, and at the same time I’m gonna say “are you surprised?”

Wow. It’s almost as though physical media aficionados have been saying for years that situations like this are an obvious outcome to an all digital future.

“owned it” haha

Contracts don't make them immune to legal action. It just makes things more complicated 

I never stopped collecting those.  I’m glad people are finally starting to realize that physical media isn’t as irrelevant as most people think, though.  

The myth of digital media is that it can last forever, pristine and undisturbed.

They really should be taken to court for this. Licenses expiring is a common thing in digital distribution. The solution is to pull the licensed content from the store, not user libraries. That’s been the standard practice for games, I don’t see why it should be any different for movies or TV shows.

This is one of the many reasons I’ve started collecting blu-rays and 4k discs in 2023. 

On Monday, Kotaku sister site Deadspin uploaded an article accusing a child of wearing blackface to a Kansas City Chiefs game, a claim that was quickly debunked. Today the site updated the article, but still failed to correct the erroneous claim.

To me this suggests that G/O Media websites not only publish false…

no one seems to agree on what open world actually means because I was under the assumption that zelda was alwas open world and was confused that others didn’t. 

I found the game kind of meh. It had some interesting aspects that were mostly counterbalanced by boring and/or tedious elements. I get the “mixed” status on steam because that is right where I’d put it. I gave up about 25 hours in cause it just wasn’t holding my attention.

While this is true, the biggest rebuttal to this is that people are sinking hundreds of hours in solo runs of BG3. I have almost 500 hours and I have yet to play multiplayer. And yet it’s not a live service game. Sometimes things are just fun, and you want to continue to enjoy them. Starfield isn’t bad, I thought what…

Because the game is derivative, repetitive, ugly, and boring?

There really isn’t clear-cut criteria and i think Keighly defended the inclusion fairly well where someone who hadn’t given it much thought would say “well it’s a pixel game”

Was this supposed to be block quote text?

At least you can’t see an IGN watermark.

I enjoyed the show but I think I would have liked it more if I had known what I was in for beforehand.  It took me the better part of episode 2 to realize that this was, in fact, going down a completely different route an was not doing some weird kind of pysch-out detour.
