Well shit, that’s even more inaccurate than the original statement lol.

How is Destiny 2 the second most played MMO after WoW?

This. FFXIV is without a doubt the de-facto MMO now; they literally had to stop selling it. It has over 3 Million players per day.  This is to say nothing of GTA Online (the microtransactions leader) as well as the titles you mentioned.

You remember that Epic isn’t the one setting the price here; it’s SquareEnix, right? And that games still have tons of expenses beyond having trucks drive physical copies around?

I disagree a bit. I’ve been reading for over a decade and I think it’s taken a noticeable downturn since Totilo (and others) left. I don’t feel like there’s much actual excitement or interest in the good parts of our hobby. I absolutely value a critical view of games and the culture and it has its place, but these…

It’s honestly hard to tell these days. The tone of the site has become very sarcastic and negative.

I mean, yes the fans are passionate about a series that generally created a subgenre of action games that scratched an itch NO one was scratching at the time, and even though there are a lot of Soulslikes today very few reach the same level of quality? If it’s not for you that’s totally fine. It’s certainly not for…

Honestly as insufferable as the git gud crowd of Souls fans can be (not all Souls fans do this obviously), the most insufferable people I’m seeing on all these articles are the anti-fans.  It’s not enough that they dislike Souls, they really need you to know about it dagnabbit.

people are REALLY angry about from software games on here.  i do not understand it at all.

god the comments on kotaku have really gone downhill. for this article, all the top ones I see are variations of “actually dark souls isn’t good” lol

Multiversus is an extremely good name.

Twitch is for gaming, but it’s also a space for music, artists, trolls, travellers, etc. If you consider a bikini soft-porn, that sounds like a you issue. If you want to only watch the gamers, no one is stopping you.

Uh... what’s even bad about this?

I’m not sure what confuses you about that concept though?  It’s not sexist to catcall a stripper at a strip club, it is sexist to catcall random women on the street because you can’t control yourself.  Seems pretty straightforward.

I’m 40, watch a fair amount of Twitch, and honestly don’t care if some people are gaming, some are reacting to Youtube videos, some are licking mics, etc.  Everyone has their thing.  I watch for gaming, but I also watch poker streams, tabletop RPG streams, etc.  Keep yelling at those clouds though.

They just mentioned a fact, and possible reasons for the fact - the fact that you thought all that extra stuff says a lot more about you than the writer.

They moved it to an entirely different engine, it fundamentally can’t run like the original game so it wouldn’t be possibile for it to toggle between them. It’s just so insane that they decided the best option would be to change engines and that that would be an easy thing to do.

Did you seriously feel a need to write this article? Why? Whether a small development studio is all male or all female or what-have-you does not matter. Your statement of, “So, presumably, the founder had met at least a couple of women who were skilled enough to work at one of the highest-profile video game companies…

In this game’s particular case, though, the updates were sorely needed.

What this is, is a way to lower their overall risk and cost of keeping the PS3/Vita versions of the stores open.

So long as they’re transacting money there, there have to be additional controls, oversight, regular audits and lots of other things. But if they’re just transacting made-up “Sony Bucks” then it’s a much…
