The publisher paid someone to do this. You give s0meone a few thousand bucks, they make a few bots, tell the bots to flood review sites with fake reviews, the overall score goes up, some gullible people see the high score and purchase game. Money is exchanged.

exactly. What you understand as mansplaining is correct. Somehow it morphed into “any time a man says something to a woman” which is just ludicrous.

Sounds like a typical scientist/engineer. They look at the data (can he function without her) and make a decision based on the data (yes, he can) and people’s feelings don’t matter.

Gotta get the widow skin before blizzard changes it for being too hot

Why is this a story?

1-I’m talking about the communities at large, like Hearthpwn.
2-Toxic shitbags can still make emotes obnoxious enough.
3-Toxic shitbags can still send friend requests. Upon accepting, you’re assaulted with a racist, anti-semitic barrage straight out of Trump’s rectum.

Yes, you can block out all three. But even after…

I like you. You’re a positive person. Not a dipshit. When people aren’t dipshits, that makes me happy as well. Happiness all around! :)

How many times have I said this now? Hearthstone has without a doubt the shittiest, dumbest fucking gaming community in the world. In the world.

The people who claim HS is p2w crack me up.

I never bought anything inside the game and still manage to compete.

Came to say this. I’ve sold every generation of iPhone I’ve had on eBay and gotten way more than any of these sites offered. These sites will severely under cut your price if the phone isn’t in pristine condition. On eBay a cracked screen still got me over $300 for my old 4S. Even with shipping and the seller’s fee I…

Really now? I’m a huge fan of both Melee and Smash 4. Why do you care that some people like an old game?

I didn’t even know GTalk was still around. I was transitioned — against my will — about a year or two ago. I wish Hangouts would do the side-docking minimization instead of occupying space on my taskbar...I wish the online/off-line thing worked properly (generally I just ping people with a “???” to see if they’re…

46 and 35 is way less significant of a gap than 36 and 25. (Or 26 and 15, for that matter.)

I have no idea. If just being humiliated on reality tv was grounds for a successful lawsuit, reality tv would have died out a long time ago.

I have to wonder how successful this lawsuit will be since people practically sign their life away to appear on these shows.

To be concerned about what is and isn’t meaningless is philosophically stimulating. It’s a question that deserves ponderance at levels shallow and deep. Yet you, here, are not participating in the discussion of meaninglessness, nor of philosophy at large.

I would like to provide another friendly reminder to everyone here that major brands pulling their ads off Youtube are not a violation of any YouTubers’ free speech. This is because only the government is prevented from restricting free speech. To say that businesses are violating the free speech of bigots by pulling…

Take every rape allegation seriously and investigate it to your full capability. Do not automatically believe every allegation. This is why. Well this and 100+ years of American race relations.

Except you get a complete game. The stuff in the loot boxes is extra, and you can get that too. I play sporadically, and I’ve unlocked about half of the loot. Anything you want specifically, you can save up for and buy with gold. It can be tough during holiday events, maybe, but otherwise, the loot isn’t going…
