Easily the best game at the conference so far.

Wait, are you talking shit about someone’s dead mom? Seriously?

Kanye West’s game, Only One—which commemorates his late mother, Donda West—is being developed by Encyclopedia Pictura. You might know them as the folks who helped Bjork develop a game.

Thanks to everyone who keeps reading and supporting Kotaku. We love you all.

Finally, a reason to consistently and purposefully lose at a game.

This is a great reply, and deserves its own article.

You bring up some good points that are definitely worth discussing. The conversation over “leaks” in gaming journalism is an interesting one, and one we’ve discussed a LOT internally. (I sit next to Stephen, and he and I have conversations about this sort of thing ALL the time.)

For many years I worked as a CM for a game developer, we used to recieve threats all the time, most we were able to write off as overzealous fans lashing out.

If I read the article right, they didn’t disable the mod; they just removed it from their own website. You can still get it at third-party sites, including ModDB. That sounds pretty close to the approach you’re recommending, no?

To be fair to that last comment, I do wish I could mod it so my Imperium of Woman didn’t have any men in it. Alas I have to just enslave or purge my male pops. You know what they say, “Suffer not the Xenos, the Heretic, or the Man to live”.
