1) Different writers, different opinions - about something that is commonly agreed on as a normal phenomenon for a single-player game. Which is imporant, because...
2) Yep, it was brought up in the Hogwarts article, but context matters. In the HL article it was framed as something negative (“anyone still playing?”) and…

Their methodology also wouldn’t include games that have LGBT content and representation, but aren’t tagged that way on the storefront in question.

It’s a manifold issue. A long-lasting high concurrency of users indicates sustained, ongoing interest in the game. That means there’s substantial audience and market for continued development and support. That in turn means a higher likelihood of more DLC and expansions, etc. But Starfield isn’t showing that.…

i will say my most boomer gaming take is that i do not understand when or why we all agreed that ‘current player amount’ was a super important metric in whether a game is a success or not, or even why it’s even worth asking 6-12-15 months after a game came out whether it’s ‘still’ successful or not.

Funny how much of a deal this site made about Hogwarts player count dropping by much less than this after 6 months yet when its a game you don’t have a hate-on for it you say it doesn’t matter. You cant have it both ways.

“Stewart, the architect of that stupid “rally to restore sanity””

It’s got nothing to do with the film, she’s just bored by the ‘zany’ interviewer hoping she’ll reply with “WHATTTTT I KNOW IT’S WILD RIGHT” so he can use her shocked face on a thumbnail for clicks or find some other way to misinterpret her reaction to fit a sexier narrative. Like this headline does.

There are many things about American culture that contribute to added weight, that I’ve only begun to understand since moving to a Nordic country. It’s not a morality issue (it shouldn’t be). It’s partially a public access and car culture issue.

I can’t blame her for being fed up. So are audiences. It is fucking insane that the box office was only narrowly salvaged by two movies, Barbie and Mario, and the overwhelming response was “We’re back! Everything is fine!”

>Your take on the situation, vs their take on the situation is the same as a sport reporter’s take on a team’s performance vs a fan’s.

Good luck old, fat, lying orange guy.

I keep trying this game and every time I run right into a wall of the worst dialogue any game has ever had. It’s just good guys dimwittedly explaining the simplest possible things to each other while occasionally saying inscrutable bullshit about hearts, and bad guys popping it say stuff like “Stay back, for we split…

Theory channel and Youtube Grandpa MatPat announces that he is stepping down from hosting his numerous theory channels(which started with GAMEtheory) and crickets from this site

Kylie you do realize President Biden didn’t review this case personally? It was done by attorneys and the CMS.

This whole confession was bizarrely inspired by Eccleston praising intimacy coordinators.

This idiotic article is one for the record books.

You turds are why the Democratic party is a joke and will never regain power. Laws are not created by the executive branch, Congress is the branch that passes/enacts laws. Yell at congress, not Biden for abortion laws. Biden could be the reincarnation of George Washington with the dick of Abraham Lincoln and he still…

I can only hope people learn a lesson I guess, and unfortunately, modern Kotaku is all about the clicks and ads, for every piece they write trying to do good and inform, I’ll still see half a page long ads for liquid adderall and BigBadToyStore. That last one is my own doing sadly. 

I mean in WV their govenor is a former coal exec, and they vote GOP who consistently attack unions (other than police unions).  Their ancestors literally paid in blood for a lot of worker rights and to dismantle those company towns.  Meanwhile Musk and other billionaires are planning company towns for workers who will…
