I blame Funko Pops and the inexplicable popularity of Ready Player One.  

To which my genuine response is, “So?”

“Firstly Jeremy, I didn’t know you were going to make it a race issue, I’m quite disappointed to be honest.”

Welcome to Kotaku?

In fairness to the developer himself, he specifically stated he didn’t think it had anything to do with his being black. It is a bit disingenuous the way Kotaku makes a big point of his race.

Based on the video above, I have trouble saying it was “copied”. Honestly the scene from the film did seem familiar to me, but more from some previous Disney animation. I thought maybe Fantasia or something but that doesn’t appear to be it. 

Doesn’t look similar at all to what’s in the trailer.

I’d say it’s “highly probable” that the developer saw a chance to get some articles written to promote his game,

Kung Fu Hustle did music fighting like 15 years ago 

I can say it didn’t look much like the trailer in the article, but I haven’t seen whatever other clips have been released on tiktok. I’d say it’s “highly probable” that the developer saw a chance to get some articles written to promote his game, whether or not it actually influenced the scene in the film.

Having seen the film...no

No, you want propaganda. A reporter’s job is not to state the “benefits of NFTs.” Their job is to report the truth. And the truth of the matter is, there are no uses for NFTs that are not better handled than the way things are.

That’s because there isn’t anything they can be used for that isn’t already being done with simpler technology.  

It’s literally just a limited, two-hour trial of a full game. Like, you download said game, start playing, and two hours later are cut off. If developers want to offer a more crafted demo, they’re apparently welcome to, but this feature is being implemented on a system level. Consequently, it doesn’t impact…

While you’re right in those points, I think demos are sufficiently pro consumer to justify those points.

I’m in favor of demos. I miss them. Companies should be excited to show off their new games with hands-on demos.

Okay, the antique weapons that lose value the moment you use them is a pretty funny gag, though.

I get it. If their first party games are still selling ten million plus copies at $60-70 a pop, why mess with a good thing.

Oh neat...Whats wrong with the consoles you originally bought that content with? Examples, please? Thanks.

The PS3 is likely being streamed because of the unique hardware it has and the difficult emulation.
