Nothing excuses the threats and harassment the Ooblets developers have received. Nothing excuses the Ooblets developers’ needless provocation, either, and yet you continue to excuse it, and for what purpose?

But the chilling out for a while involves on consuming and playing games. So if there is something that inhibits the natural nature of consumerism, then pitchforks are raised and torches lit.

Seriously. Harassment isn’t the answer but the initial announcement of the EGS exclusivity was soooo bad. So bad that just reading it, I knew they were about to get pummeled worse than the other EGS exclusives.

Straw man. Do better.

If that's your takeaway from this news, you should definitely comment less.

No mention of this?

Epic of course being disingenuous and ignoring the real reasons behind the Ooblets’ devs’ “harassment”

Fuck me gamers are dumb as shit. This stuff isn’t important guys. It’s not worth sending death threats over. There are actual problems in the world beyond what digital store you have to buy your game in. Get the fuck over it.

Yeah don’t haze people even if they did a rather tone deaf press release. If you don’t want Epic to continue snatching games you may or may not have already pre ordered on Steam, don’t buy the Epic copies and make sure your friends don’t either.

You’re really brushing off the level of snark in their announcement, and failing to mention how they addressed concerns about availability of their game in different countries with currencies not accepted by Epic’s storefront with a “you’re not entitled to our game” bitchy and not at all joking response (which sort of…

N64 controller’s analogue sticks tear quite easily

At least they're inexpensive as far as controllers go. /Sarcasm

See, my PS3 is ten years old, and every so often, the primary controller will experience a little drift, but a couple shakes of the stick seems to work it out. So I don’t think it’s quite that consistent an issue. I’ve never had more than that in all the systems I’ve played over the years. The only time I ever had a…

You are ridiculous for your comment. Your families systems happen to be the few that didn’t have the issue, but to make a claim that so many people dont know how to take care of their systems is complete bull dong. When does a handful of People speak up for hundreds of people with complaint of this same issue?

Not to mention that the NES and SNES controllers are still some of the most reliable gaming peripherals even 20, 30 years old! What happened to that build and design quality?

Dust you say?!?!?

The controllers are fine. There’s some dust or dirt that got inside them.

So like many Nintendo problems before it can be solved by blowing on it?

I may just be cynical, but I don’t think it’ll solve the problem. It has been definitively proven people will buy season passes, pay for micro-transactions, etc. All of those things make these companies money. They’re not going to just stop doing them unless legislated to stop (which carries its own hazards and…

I’m mostly done with gaming at this point anyway. I’ve been playing them for 40 years and I feel like I’ve covered pretty much every genre several times over. There just isn’t that much that catches my eye anymore. Cyberpunk 2077, Doom Eternal, and The Outer Worlds are really the only games I’m looking forward to at…
