It’s almost as if he’s a complete fucking asshat and we, as a society, should let him return to average obscurity.

ninja kissed groupies but won't stream with women for fear of drama? 

I really don’t care for just substituting the word shovelware to mean “games I don’t like.” It’s imprecise language, and get fucked.

They’ve made shooters/platformers in the past, just not first person.

Overwatch is cool and all, burn it’s a Blizzard game in some of the character design alone. None of the gameplay.

I haven’t played the full game but my experiences with the beta it felt like this was yet another game where someone thought it was a great idea to get “pro” players in to tell them how to make it for them, with the strong assumption that came across of people would play in squads and stay together correctly with…

“It was just a late night of having fun and after the first encounter (seen on my channel) we felt it would be fun to offend them somehow,”

Ah, the good ole “It’s just a prank!” defense. Screw these guys, they’re giving gamers and even worse name than they already had.

(One of those players, NathanTheHicc, told Eurogamer that he doesn’t regret role-playing a hate crime in the game and wouldn’t apologize if given the chance. “It was just a late night of having fun and after the first encounter (seen on my channel) we felt it would be fun to offend them somehow,” he said. “You can…

Quality work wins the day, but quality doesn't demand crazy overtime. Imagine quality people who are not overworked. Imagine how much better they could perform. 

The friction gives a good feel in many aspects, but the tedium of many actions makes the world feel less real, and more like a video game.

Correction: there was no harm to you, which is why you don’t care.  

Fair enough place as any to say that we’re here and not going anywhere. And we’re not anyone’s punchline.

Absolutely. This is completely intentional, a wink to the fascists: ‘Hey, we`re one of you.’
I didn’t play more than a few hours into Witcher 3 due to things I was hearing about CD Projekt Red at the time. Seems the rumors was completely true.

You know, at this point it’s no longer a bug. This is a feature.

This looks ... horrible ... at least from a narrative perspective. Maybe instead of hiring “recognizable” actors, they should have hired someone to write an interesting/coherent story mode, or a good editor to put the trailer together for it.

This trailer looks like a series of unconnected clips, with no semblance of plot or character. The pace of it seems to be wrapped entirely around celebrity cameo reveals rather than actual moments or action or drama.

Friendly reminder that the AV Club comments section is now a dumpster fire.

What is Valve thinking: Paid MMO Card-game. No way to acquire cards without expending more money. Live, free of consequences, chat. This is a trainwreck waiting to happen.

Also, come on Nathan, no need to “over defend” the joke. 

The “tech” / “gaming” / “nerd” side of Twitter is mostly built on networking with other people in “the industry”. Wil Wheaton is a minor celebrity in that space, so he has a lot of social capital. The transphobic blocklist he imported was from Randi Lee Harper, whose niche is ostensibly “abuse in that industry”, and…
