But because its China oooh scary.

It’s not that funny. There’s a pretty marked difference between some other US company having access to your phone (which the US Gov could get access to it if they really needed it) and a foreign government having that direct access.

If a bunch of politicians and security folks think TikTok is a bad idea, probably worth…

The fact that there’s not a single comment here that supports keeping TikTok around in its current form tells me that you all really don’t know your audience. Or care.

Multiple things can intersect and be true at once if you consider the history at play here.

So if I understand this correctly, the allegation is that TikTok is a massive security concern that’s sending all of our user data to China’s government. And the response against that isn’t addressing said allegations, but instead pointing out that there are funny memes and stuff on it?

I believe the topic in question is that this app is a national security risk, so I don’t see how “tik tok should exist because of the funny memes” is a relevant defense against that.

Actually, Osomatsu-san is a good example of how strict Japan’s parody law can be. Originally it had a completely different first episode than the one shown in reruns. However they had to make a whole new episode 1 for reruns and home release because the original’s parodies were not considered as such under court of…

What’s likely to happen as a result? Game has to be thrown into an incinerator, or “just change the violating designs to something else and it’s fine”? I wouldn’t be shocked if they’re already making backup designs or something.

If we’re talking about the Pokemon Company in Japan, and Pocketpair being a Japanese developer, if the Pokemon Company finds reason to pursue a copyright violation lawsuit, it’s good to note that the only way Pocketpair is getting away with it is if they can prove there were no violations at all, not even reference,…

That wasn’t a new addition with the remaster.  The original Prime had a 3D map with color coded doors.

Don’t recent Metroidvania games usually have indicators on the in-game map to keep track of this?

I know Metroid Prime Remastered had a full 3D map that color coded things that needed particular upgrades to pass them, which actually seems like a simpler solution to the same problem (because then I don’t have to open a…

While I agree with the overall vibe of the game, it is still very lacking in literally anything that resembles gaming or horror.

Void Stranger is a trap, I played it for 40 hours hoping the cryptic secrets and lore would pay off, but it’s extremely disrespectful of your time - the game makes you replay the same puzzles over and over. To make matters worse, there’s no payoff at the end - the story goes from boring to complete nonsense, and the…

They could’ve redubbed them with the same voice actors and just not hired the one person.

“Live your life, as a neopet, while collecting other neopets as trophies and then mounting them on your virtual wall.”

Current Paper Yu-Gi-Oh is absolutely attrocious with the current meta forcing game resolution in 1-2 turns.

“Fanboy shareholder asked X game company if they will continue old franchises”. We keep getting these articles from everyone. The answer they always give is “neither yes nor no”. What do people expect?

If there is one thing universal about animes, it’s probably this... xD

I’ve been developing a theory about Kotaku for the past few months and now i full blown believe it. I’ve been a loyal reader of all G/O sites for almost a decade, and I remember well back when Deadspin’s upper management said “stick to sports” so they did all these stories about anything but sports for a while. And…

Subreddits going dark for three days sends the message that whatever Reddit does, they’ll always come back.
