“A fat bitch” sounds more like what he’d say behind closed doors (about his own daughter, for the record).

As he turned from the display he said to me, ‘You know, they love me in the Netherlands.’ 

My thinking exactly. All the official responses were “If we had known, we would have fired them immediately” and even Jonah Bennett’s responses boiled down to “Oh, that was the old me. I totes don’t think that way now.” The entire point of code words and by-invitation-only groups is to hide their true colors. Of

So, the Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco is staying, right?

Whatever your opinion on censorship (or “censorship”), the fact is that those elements in the game aren’t even funny. Calling a bath product “OHEY” would be funnier. Hell, even calling it “GENERIK” would be funnier. But if they want to blacklist their company over the dumbest joke, it’s a free country.

So, first Venom shatters the box office, and now Taylor Swift outsells the soundtrack? I guess Lady Gaga fans will just have to settle for multiple award wins, including an Academy Award...

What part of EGS exclusive do you not understand?

No one is entitled to own their game, but if they want to continue to make video games, they need to sell games, and in a global marketplace, brushing off questions about “how do I give you my money” and lobbing insults at potential customers can go a long way to guaranteeing that they won’t be around for long.

You’re really brushing off the level of snark in their announcement, and failing to mention how they addressed concerns about availability of their game in different countries with currencies not accepted by Epic’s storefront with a “you’re not entitled to our game” bitchy and not at all joking response (which sort of

“It’s Sunday morning, when most of your viewers right now, half of the country, are getting ready to go to church, and yet tomorrow, we won’t let our kids even pray in our schools,”

I mean, how hard is it to find a regular t-shirt in a department store?

In high schools, teenagers are battling the notion that young women who violate dress codes are distractions or unfit for education.
