I’ve followed it since the alpha, hell one of the people that would periodically chime in asking for ANY update.

I played the hell out of the alpha, but I don’t have a problem with his progression system, hit a zone, nab your artifact(s), farm gear until you get some decent + gear, and move to one adjacent.  Really…

This is a non issue. Hes an evil mad man and this costume does not represent the state of mental health in our world. All the characters in Overwatch are stereotypes. Except Winston and Hammond because im not sure how you stereotype a hamster and a gorilla.

That instrument is broken out only for performances of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3-some.

Do you have any proposal for a replacement? We need something to describe the genre, and while “metroidvania” might not be an accessible word, it’s at least a functional one. “Exploration adventure” maybe? That’s unfortunately close to the so-generic-it’s-useless “action-adventure” genre, but it’s the best I can come…

The vernacular is established, and will remain until people no longer find it useful.  You’re fighting this fight about 15 years too late.

What makes her unrealistic to me is that she can punch (fake) giant robots and not break her hands.

This one is far deeper into the grey area than you claim, though it’s also not cut-and-dry against you, either.

Your generalized statement falls flat when your realize this is one re-imagined Arcee in about 20 and this is the first one to be this sexualized. So basically no everything mustn’t, but people need to stop whining when one does like its some major offense

So basically Epic pulled some shady and manipulative trickery and didn’t tell people ahead of time, and then when companies said, “Hold up! We didn’t agree to this!”, Epic tried to paint it as those companies being unreasonable?

“She can try hormones, chop her pecker off, but it’s still the same bone structure a man has,” Rousey told The New York Post. “It’s an advantage. I don’t think it’s fair.”

I was really on board with you from reading the Headline, but I wasn’t really concerned with those things you mentioned in the article. I just think she is a bad voice actor and gave a very bland performance. I think that’s more of valid reason for her to not be in MK. Cause it pertains to the game. Not the history of…

Of course not...everything should be perfect and impeccable right out of the gate, no exceptions.

WAHHHHHH EXCLUSIVITY IS BULLSHIT

It’s stuff like this that prevents me from entering a competitive environment in any game.

I have, for many years, maintained the truism that fighting with honor creates only a moral obligation to lose. If you cannot sort a route around your opponent’s tactics, that’s on you.  So long as the play was within established…

Oh look it’s this dumb smug opinion again. I should buy you tickets to an NBA game with instructions to chuck random balls and weapons onto the court and ask you how the players feel about it.

Just proof that if you think hard enough and get creative enough, you can make anything “offensive”.

Eh, I don’t really care that much since it’s mostly cosmetic and I’m sure you can get the stats that come with it on other ge-

Thank you for reading! I agree that this is not specifically a video game issue and interviews with law enforcement corroborate that. However, I do think that online predation has changed a lot over the last fifteen years and these incidents in the gaming community offer special insight into how. Online platforms that…

Let’s make sure people can see and understand what half-assed false equivalence looks like. :)
