Come now. He's kind of oddly-shaped, sure, but look at that face!

Of course women don't have a problem playing as male characters, or there wouldn't be so many female gamers already. However, games are an entertainment medium, like films, TV and novels, and that's not an excuse for not changing anything. How weird would it be if you hardly ever saw a film with a female protagonist?…

Looking at the comments, nobody cares about social issues in games. They don't care if women are under or over represented; whether or not gays can get married; or if there are political, cultural, or religious topics that they don't agree with. We all care about one thing, how good the damn game is. That is first.…

I am among those futurists. I was really looking forward to seeing what the Xbox One could do. I feel like a lot of features, such as cloud computing, will be put to the way side because now players can play Xbox One games without a stable internet connection. I mean, it's great for people that don't have internet or…

What if a woman finds out her child will be born with serious complications? What if she finds herself abandoned-financially or otherwise? What if her relationship suddenly ends? What if....? There are all kinds of reasons a woman may choose to abort a fetus where she may have made a conscious choice to get pregnant…

I think the greater tragedy could easily be a baby born unwanted. The world isn't exactly perfect and being potentially unplanned and undesired doesn't help.

Not just the E3 culture...

That wasn't just a look. It was a Microsoft-style reversal. It's creepy.

Can we make it a rule that anyone who uses the phrase "personal responsibility" in a conversation about rape loses the right to talk about rape?

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.

Please please please let it be North Dash West.

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.

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…
