I like to think that one of the cool things about Kotaku is that you can come here for more information than you’ll get from a publisher’s press release. This is a good example of that. It’s not necessarily controversial or explosive info — it’s just context that you won’t find anywhere else.

Some of the most annoying retention mechanisms I’ve ever had the misfortune of working with were on older Gigabyte motherboards. They used a through-pin latch, where the release tab was entirely covered by a two slot GPU. The only way to get them undone was to reach down and try to get a fingernail on the little pin…

I don’t think its a good thing that he “berates” his employees.

But so what? If their company culture is shitty, it’s shitty.

It’s not illegal to be an asshole.

Now if he was raping his employees and committing illegal acts, that would be a different story.

But this whole “my boss is mean! I’m going to tweet about it”…

What I absolutely fucking hate about todays culture, is the complete and total inability to forgive.

Yeah, the dude from Holland explaining the history and culture behind shit talking assholes is definitely racist. Did you even read the whole thing he said? Don't be a trashcan American, and if you aren't, don't act like one 

Hi,

If it’s aiming for the realism of war, the part where you abandon the rebels to be ethnically cleansed should be interesting.

Maybe this makes me a bad person, but at this point I’m just following Fallout 76 news for the entertainment value.

Actually it does help. With all the bullying China does concerning Hong Kong and Taiwan (and also Tibet and Xinjiang), all publicity helps, because to us here in Asia it seems people in the West have forgotten about how awful the Chinese regime is. I guess the money is good. Appeasement politics with a regime like…

Two more weeks till BlizzCon...what a complete shitshow that’s going to be...

I feel awful for all the developers, who had nothing to do with any of this and who have been working their asses off on new projects and updates to existing titles that are going to have all their work ridiculed, ignored, and sidelined…

too bad she didn’t try to kill people with a gun or homemade explosives, she might would have got to broadcast longer

I think it’s about a 2% chance. I’d be pleased if they did enforce their own rules, but judging from how every corporation in the US generally seems to behave (I guess with the weird exception of EPIC now?) , that channel will just sit there until the heat death of the universe, and they’ll harp on about how he’s a…

Ya....reading articles about Twitch, Instagram stars, and to a lesser extent YouTube make me realized that I too have passed the threshhold of just no longer understanding what the kids are into. Feels bad.

Bungie: warns everyone the servers can possible break down following Shadowkeep’s release.

Well, shit.

Also zero mention of "the rest will probably be on the PS5, surprise!"

Honestly I think this is just internet people being overly salty and sensitive, as usual.

Take the reasons why someone was banned, especially when they post over Reddit about it, with a HUGE grain of salt.

If the early days of Humble Bundle have taught me anything, it’s this:

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Steam wishlist is a USELESS feature to determine purchasing predictive metrics.
