I really hope that they will include codes on IRL booster packs that allow you to unlock free packs in game, just like Pokemon does. Otherwise I can’t see myself playing too much of the game since I still enjoy buying booster packs and don’t want to double dip.

There’s been talk of that in the Kpop fandoms as well. Several artists are known PC gamers - Baekhyun from EXO, most notably - and it would obviously draw in some numbers to have them do livestreams or Let’s Plays. A couple videos have been put out on a one-time, experimental basis, but that’s it.

The popularity of anime girl gaming personalities makes me wonder why more mainsteam idols don’t make gaming videos or stream regularly, particularly those who are already known to be heavily into video games. Someone like Rena Matsui could pull in massive numbers given her popularity from being in both SKE48 and…

Ai-chan’s appeal is her character, I don’t know other virtual youtubers with likable traits

ai has the huge advantage of having her vids eng subbed, i hope more follow. i find her vids charming and absurd and they give me this nice ‘the future is now’ vibe.

Ai Kizuna is so funny. Hard to see how anyone else could top that channel.

I for one welcome our new anime girl overlords.

So, what we’re seeing speaks for itself.

Konami never thought Metal Gear 5 would be bad, they were just pissed at the amount of time and money Kojima was spending on its production (and to be clear, I think he had earned the right to do whatever the hell he wanted)

A great example for the d-bags who like to say “Kotaku is just clickbait.” Good stuff.

That awesome moment someone on a video game blog is a better investigative journalist this half the media in the nation. Anyway, I believe he is lying(it’s obvious) but I don’t say that to be mean to him. I wonder what was his reason for doing something like this? It seems very strange. I hope this gets an update.

I’m glad they got enough of their goals met. Screaming or crying for too long WILL damage your voice, and that’s these people’s livelihood. I used to do voice acting and the vocal strain is no joke.

So, are we all agreed that residuals should be something that developers get as well? Even if it’s .05%, doesn’t that feel... I don’t know, fair considering how much work these people put into games?

So, are we all agreed that residuals should be something that developers get as well? Even if it’s .05%, doesn’t that feel... I don’t know, fair considering how much work these people put into games? I think most of us have moved on from the whole ‘They should be grateful to do what they love!’ thing after it’s been…
