It means Gamers never know what they’re talking about, though they stamp their feet and scream that they’re the end-all, be-all of this hobby.

Yeah, how dare those reviewers not see the thing the same way I do! The outrage! ;p

This seems more or less like coaches for fighting games. Looking for someone who can teach you and, in the case of co-op team stuff like OW, help you along the way doesn’t seem that awful...

Yeah, this doesn’t seem much different from getting a SFV coach. I mean, as long as that’s why you’re doing it.

Amen to that.

I guess it’s because I read it like this:

And subscribed! Thanks for your hard work! It’s great to see what you’ve made!

And it may not harm the industry as a whole, but there’s a very direct effect piracy has on the individual publishers/developers/distributors.

So are you going to tell me that everyone who emulates a NES, Genesis, and so forth, who owns all the carts, should also destroy all their carts as soon as they use an emulator on their PC or smartphone? Absolutely not.

and I guess that’s where I diverge, because I don’t think the ends justify the means for a lot of stuff.

I’m pretty sure that ‘For Now’ in the title is more hopeful optimism than actual forecast.

Right? Like legitimately bad games that aren’t fun or literally won’t work...

I think it’s fine. It’s better than ME1, and showed a lot of promise for the series.

“b-b-but, the face animation!

Sounded like you were arguing for it, giving a lot of attention in your response to those side-effects, asking ‘what if they can’t afford it? Which are they? Poor or assholes?’

As much as I love some fan games out there, I’ve never thought it wrong for a dev to want to shut one down. If anything, it just makes me wish those talented people would use that momentum for their own original stuff.

No, because porting a game takes additional work. So you aren’t ‘compensating’ all of that by buying one version.

but if they’re teens and don’t pirate, therefore don’t get into gaming ... then when they do start making money they won’t give a shit about gaming.

or are not even available on that platform (ex. Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii).

Laws don’t dictate morality, they dictate what ppl want,
