What publication has that? Not even the New York Times has that. That’s fucking stupid

Better let us change miles’ terrible addidas suit in the finale. Christ that was insulting.

There is no evidence that Erin Moriarty suffers from a “plastic surgery addiction.”

You’re missing the entire point for some reason, the issue isn’t that they used assets, they bought their entire game using assets after claiming they were working hard for over five years. Clearly they weren’t, clearly they stitched together another game nothing like what was promised in under a year using assets…

This is the SMB level select all over again. It’s really cool to people who have never seen it before, but all the old folks get disappointed when they think they’re going to learn something new about something they grew up with, then start on their “back in my day” nonsense.

“waste their time.”

No, genuinely, I wrote what happened. You know what—at no point from discovery to publication did the thought of how many people would click on it cross my mind, because it makes no difference to me at all. I just tend to hope that whoever does read it will enjoy it. That’s the end of my motivation. It’s lovely when I…

Can’t tell if you’re joking, but obviously “not A” doesn’t mean “definitely B”. Disagreeing with Matt’s reasoning doesn’t mean anything other than disagreeing with Matt’s reasoning.

Let’s not lose perspective, we’re talking about luxury entertainment here. Piracy isn’t your only option, your main option is to just not play the game if you don’t like its price or monetisation. I’m saying this both as a former game developer and as someone who pirated a lot in my past: you’re not entitled to take…

Not surprising.

Wouldn’t that be a crazy thing? All this hype and misdirection, everyone thinks she’s going to live and this is just dragging out a forgotten conclusion, then she just dies the same way and it blows everyone’s collective minds. 

The surprise: this time it’s happening exactly the same.

Adult swim is a horrible network for making the decision to fire the man who made their show popular ONLY based on an accusation which had not been proven true at the time and didn’t even stand with the man who they all knew.

This is a net-negative for the industry. Microsoft isn’t historically a good steward of the things they buy. They are the console manufacturer with the least goodwill toward gamers as a whole.

That’s not even considering the shit they got slapped for in the 2000s re: antitrust.  Fuck Microsoft.

Yeah, ship's gonna get righted into the same cliff the Rare ship dropped.
