“it means the game didn’t make what the publisher wanted it to make.”

-Less marketing means less sales means less money. You think t greedy corporations spend that money for fun? Try again.

An astounding growth which is predominantly composed of mobile games and FTP titles.

I love how people in the industry can tell you a thing, people who report on the industry can tell you a thing and you blithely discount it simply because it doens’t fit your agenda. Read the room. Everyone who knows what they are…

I’m getting sickof the “no emtee ex! evar! wryyyyyyyyyyy!!” chorus that never, ever, EVER provide a realistic alternative.

Why? I have never bought anything but DLC levels, so microtransactions have nevrr bothered me

Then games need to go up in price. The $50-60 pricing model has not kept up with inflation. At all. It’s either get this game with some minor microtransactions, or we will increasingly not see these games much at all.

that’s a lotta battle passes!

Hilariously, I’ve been seeing this story mentioned on CNN and BBC, and at least on CNN’s part it’s like “Can you believe it? This kid won $3 million playing VIDEO GAMES!”

The youngs have the most flexible brains and thus learn the quickest/best. Plus, higher reaction times, etc. :P

Online interactions (and the world at large, really) make it apparent just how garbage people have become/are. These statistics don’t surprise me anymore. Just gets worse and worse.

No. It is not racist. The point is to include people that get messed with at other cons, not to exclude people or get revenge. Intent matters.

Once I clicked play and saw my people swag surfin’, I knew it was gonna be good!

I decided to order the Gears 4 Elite Controller on a whim. It is hands down the best controller I have ever used. It’s a big reason I buy my games on Xbox One X. I pretty much got the X because of the the Elite Controller.

There are third party controllers that mimic the Elite Controller on PS4. Just a quick search bro…

I wish controllers were made to last, didn’t lose power, had a sturdy connection without worry of drift or dropped inputs, and cost $30.

As a self-identifying blerd I’m amazed I didn’t know this was a thing!!! My people have found each other! Good looking out.

If it’s a guild name, might I suggest some slight alterations?

“Hounds of the Hundred Acres.”

“Hundred Acre Hunters.”

“The Hundred.”

“Rabbit’s Roustabouts: The Hundred of the Acres.”

“Owls of the Acres.” (“Acres of Owls.”)

“Piglet’s Pugilists/Piglet’s Pugnacious Porkbellies.”

...I’m smooth like butter, cuz I’m on a roll.

I’m stealing that for a guild name some day.

While it is in itself without consequences the whole drama is about what else is changed to make history look the way some people want it to look like... I do not know... schoolbooks for example.

Make it sneaky enough to get past the censors: “Hundred Acre Wood Squadron.”

To compensate, he should get a Winnie the Pooh patch.
