Female gamers don’t want e-sports fans to know their identities out of fear of violence or stalking so they hide their identity. They are then bullied for hiding their identity from bullies and pushed out of e-sports. Hands down most toxic culture on the planet.

There are so many fucking people of color in this show, are you fucking kidding me?

Great question. When a platform allows virtually any game regardless of quality to be released, Steam by far being the biggest offender, it makes it extremely difficult for small indie studios who can’t afford an advertising budget to standout. Sure studios with a track record can overcome the sea of shovelware, but…

I feel like when people want to make something similar to say little mermaid or the seven dwarves, they have to really tiptoe around disney out of fear of a cease and desist letter from such a massive corporation.

Article fails to mention that Disney spent millions lobbying congress to rewrite America’s copyright laws so mickey mouse would never enter the public domain. And because Disney has taken arguably hundreds of public domain stories and turned them into movies, they effectively own the rights to many public domain…

Love how you wrote a thesis on the before times instead of addressing the radical concept of having some standard for the quality of a videogame they put in their e-shop. Clearly I’m in the wrong for expecting a billion dollar corporation to make some effort in quality control.

Are you offended by someone’s opinion about videogames? I’m not generalizing, I know those games are shovelware because about half of them came out on the vita months or years ago. Games like dreamwalker look and play like a browser game from 2002. 

Maybe go back to having standards for what they allow on the system?

Another week, another dozen shovelware titles for the switch

I just checked the 2018 best sellers on three different websites, and a fighting game doesn’t appear in any top 10 or top 20 best selling games of 2018. Aside from smash ultimate, which is really more a party game than a fighting game, you have to go all the way down to 21 before dbz fighter appears.

You mean that yearly tournament where they combine 8 fighting games just to fill a mid-size venue? I know for a fact melee tournaments happen in hotel ballrooms.

I love super smash bros. and kotaku, but the amount of coverage fighting games get seems massively disproportionate to their popularity in general seeming as almost no one plays them outside the recently released smash ultimate.

Article fails to mention that there are no laws in place that punish discrimination against pregnant workers. I’m so fucking sick of global demographic mysteries that have answers screaming in your face. White men shoot up schools and churches because they’re violently bigoted. Mystery solved. There aren’t enough…

I think Nintendo makes a lot of mediocre games, but instead of saying they’re mediocre we make excuses for them. Kirby isn’t a fundamentally flawed game, it’s for the children. Mario isn’t a repetitive game with a storyline that hasn’t changed in 30 years, it’s classic 3D Mario. Nintendo gets too many passes for…

Maybe because when a game is atrociously simplistic we assume it’s for children instead of assuming it’s a poorly made game.

I remember FF13 getting absolutely slammed as a hallway simulator where all you had to do was press A despite the involved and tactical combat. In Kirby you don’t even have to press A, you move to the right and the game plays itself even during boss fights. I get the game is perfect for children, but it feels like…

Switch is just drowning in shovelware.

People in the comments pointing out how long 2011 was like it was before the civil rights act or something. Like when was this ever forgivable?

Switch doesn’t seem to have a lineup now that smash bros is out. I mean look at that slate for February 15th compared to what switch is doing all winter. Smash bros. is a gem among gems, but what is nintendo doing going forward?
