Acquire wrote it as “KKK” without intending to make a reference to the American KKK, changing it from that is actually a good localization choice. To keep it “KKK” would have introduced a meaning to the phrase that wasn’t in the original language and that the original developers didn’t intend.

XSEED (sans Lipschultz) e-mailed Acquire asking what originally inspired the sign. Ken Berry, XSEED’s executive vice president, helped explain what the letters meant in the U.S. “Acquire immediately responded that they had no idea the sign could be taken that way in English,” Berry told me in an e-mail.

This isn’t censorship, this is one guy trying to defend a bad joke that has no basis in the original text. It even says outright that the original name is a pun on light switches. What in the hell do light switches have to do with a radicalized Christian terrorist group?

I think a lot of claims of censorship could be boiled down to people not accepting that they’re not as funny as they think

This sounds less like censorship and more like a translator taking liberties that he happens to find funny. And then getting upset when other people didn’t agree with him.

I don’t see why not. Zelda was good enough to carry the release, so a proper Mario game could carry it through the holidays.

Its the fastest selling Nintendo console in North America with 906k units sold in March beating the WiiU with 890k units in 5 weeks upon it’s release.
The worldwide sales to date is somewhere around the 2.4 million unit mark.

They’ve made and sold more Switches than they’ve done with any other console before. They prepared for the biggest launch in Nintendo history, and it sold better than anyone expected. There’s nothing “artificial” about the scarcity. It just turns out a whole lot of people want a Switch—and Nintendo is scrambling to…

That’s not artificial scarcity, that’s just scarcity. Nintendo is pumping out as much as they can and its selling, artificial scarcity is where Nintendo pumps out less then they can making the scarcity an artificial construct. That is not the case here.

Stores don’t stock up for weeks, they receive a big shipment 1 or 2 days before launch.

There’s this one fucking website, makes you wait 5 seconds before you can even see the webpage. But seriously, there are some sites I’ve just stopped visiting. Some are are ads on top of other ads. Some others I quit visiting because they make you whitelist before reading an article. I find the next website that…

Holy fuck, I know that probably isn’t the case but that’s some anime level shit right there lol.

There are plenty of people for whom the allegories and parallels of Science Fiction are lost and are purely drawn to spaceships, robots and laser beams. We call those people half-wits.

Not my fault republicans have kind of dirtied the term. You’re right though. I would apply the issues more to just modern republican outlooks and techniques than political conservatism.

Don’t worry, it’s another Trump supporter mainstay of Whataboutism

I mean, it’s a link to the Kinja site that more typically covers issues in comic books. So are you just jerking yourself off, or were you actually curious?

Sure, dude. It’s not like VR is a technology that dozens of companies have poured time and money into perfecting since the 90's. Palmer Luckey is the only person who ever thought of it.
