Cases like these are hard to look at subjectively because you want to believe victims when they come forward, but you also want to prevent false accusations. I am not sure in this case which is true now.. they stated he did it, lost, and now state he didn’t do it. The thing that bothers me the most about this, is once…

But they’re not doing anticompetitive things in Japan. The Xbox hasn’t failed in Japan due to shenanigans, it has failed because the Japanese market isn’t interested in it. It’s very weird to ask for an open and free market and make these allegations when...the open and free market has been saying for 20 years that…

A politician was paid to put a narrowly handpicked fact, void of contextual value, on the record?

Very simple.
They canned a planned PS5 version from a studio that they acquired.
Sony doesn’t buy a studio and then take shit from Microsoft, they acquire a studio and plan new games for their own platform.

Well, partially because Sony isn’t buying up major publishers and then making their games platform-exclusive, at least not yet.

This is the first time ever I’ve heard about “Boosteroid”.

This, the equivalent UK law, and every other proposal based on the Australian model are fundamentally flawed. The proposal in Australia was just an unabashed bailout of Rupert Murdoch’s news business. His team literally wrote the law and walked MPs through how they could sell it as fair and anti-big tech.

That’s my point: Microsoft charged for MP and Sony didn’t. Microsoft made that the standard just like your assertion that $70 games are a Sony trend that Microsoft is following.

Birds aren’t real.

Easily hundreds of billions of dollars. Plus, I’m having a tough time coming up with another state that has the land and infrastructure that could support another Disney World. The northern half of the country is a probably a no-go because of the winter weather. The southwest is out of the question because it would…

I’d argue that at this point Misty’s age is ambiguous. Sure, she was like 12 back when the anime started, but in the games (which her design on these cards are based on) time has clearly passed since then.

This is 100% the correct response. Maybe its a generational thing , but I kind of feel like someone needs to remand the internet that two guys or girls can be close without it being a sexual relationship . That “every character is automatically at least Bi” attitude around shipping is pretty insulting , especially for…

Persona, a beloved and decades old series is homophobic for not letting a straight written protagonist romance boys?

I get where you are coming from. But implying that 2 dudes being friendly with each other should be gay also diminishes that 2 dudes can also be open with each other and trust each other in a way that isn’t “toxic masculinity”. What I mean to say is they are best friends who care about each other. Atlus definitely…

Whoa whoa, this is too mature and reasonable of a take for Kotaku. Dial it down buddy!

Why is it necessary? why force it? I am a gay man I do not need every game or media to have a character that represents me, even less when is done JUST to include it without real heart or purpose. I never saw any of them as being gay, and never had the illusion of them being gay, they do not have a gay story, so why…

I have a casting suggestion: How about instead of adding Zach Galifianakis, they subtract him, and also everyone else in the cast, and then they just don’t make this movie.

Just... just no. Just make it stop.

While I’m not a Harry Potter fan, I do enjoy gaming. This is what made me ask what the fuss is all about so I read her tweets and her essay and I didn’t take it as she’s transphobic. She didn’t come across as being afraid or have hate for the trans community. I see that she did have concerns as a biological woman,…

Dude, he just wrote the article, don’t shoot the messenger.
