Innovation lost. Stagnation won, that is a massive loss. We have the same consoles for another decade now. Today wasn't a celebration - it was extremely disappointing.

Not really, no. Microsoft wanted to allow people to share digital games, access them from anywhere a la Steam, and a lot of other cool features like that. Their DRM policies merely existed to prevent people abusing those cool new features.

The only difference that matters:

Holy shit get over it. They weren't trying to stab you in the kidneys, they were trying to make a feasible platform for digital copies of games by doing the EXACT SAME THING that Steam does. They were attempting to prevent pirates from hacking the box to put on any digital game copy. They weren't being pure evil, they…

If this is true, I certainly hope it doesn't cause the features that really were exciting.
Family Sharing?
Gifting games to friends digitally?
Taking my games with me everywhere?
Being able to play games without discs?!

Bitch at a company to change their policies.

I did not mean to be aggressive either, it's just that on kotaku especially there is this sentiment with commenters that 'feminists hate men' but it's not true and no one ever links to anything remotely legit to back it up.

This is the part I take issue with. The generalization, without any evidence that "feminism is a type of sexism" or that it "vilifies a gender".

You implied it directly by saying this is the "first piece..." that you have read in a 'very long time'. There have been many articles about misogyny and rape culture on Kotaku and the rest of gawker recently. Your statement implies that all of them are not up to some imaginary standard.

Ah, men who argue they're not rapey rapists by quibbling endlessly about age of consent laws by state and country. Very unique and original and not transparent at all. Nosir.

Movies don't make money on the strength of a tiny core audience that's read the comic — they make money with cross-over and broad appeal. They didn't leave that in because it would appeal to the comic's core fans, they left it in because they thought it would appeal to everyone because "we all agree women are weak…

"Accused?" Are we so afraid to label people as rapists that we won't do it even after they've been convicted?

This is for you.

So.......

Dude, I went to high school and somehow [miraculous, I know] managed to not rape any of the drunk girls that inevitably populate parties. The girls didn't thank me the next day. Wanna know why? Because we're not supposed to act like goddamn animals.

I'm not blaming the girl
