There always has to be a middle ground between artistic integrity and commercial viability. That’s just common sense.

The problem with assholes like this is that they see making money as the only reason to do anything, which justifies jumping into NFTs or lay off large amounts of employees. Because so long as you make…

I mean it really wasn’t but okay. It was much like TMNT: a modern reimagining of a classic.

What are you even talking about? I’m literally asking you a single question, that you repeatedly will not answer. How am I moving the goal post.

So what I’m hearing is that microtransactions CAN be used by developers to continue supporting games that people love, but NFTs CANNOT be used for the same purpose because of some fundamental difference...

See? You couldn’t do it. You couldn’t do the one thing I asked you to do which is to give me a reason why NFT’s are beneficial to gaming as a medium without going on about how it will make people money. Because that’s the only way any of this makes sense.

there is no way a real person wrote #powertotheplayers sincerely.

This is a bot.

Know what the sad thing is? Guys like Dairy John cannot actually believe that people “don’t want money.” Like the only reason why we hate NFT’s is that we’re jealous that we didn’t get into market first.

What can NFT’s offer to the medium? How does it actually make games better and more fun? And can you say it without…

either players who want to explore the full area are going to have way too many resources and the game is trivialized, or players who don’t want to explore are going to have a much harder time of it because the game is balanced for the number of resources in the full area.

Whether or not this is a cash grab is besides the point. In terms of “is this game a cheap way for ND to cash in on TLOU?” Probably not. I believe them when they say they’re putting all of their efforts into this.

But who is this effort for? I dont think people were clamoring for this, and you can still get the…

Really?  Because despite the controversy, I’m pretty sure it sold remarkably well.  I mean isn’t that the whole reason Sony passed on a Days Gone sequel?

This. This is absolutely why people who do the “you shouldn’t give attention to it” dance fail to understand. That by not responding to it, we are giving the implicit approval that NFT’s (or the ways crypto nerds want to run it) are valid.

THIS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL OMLETES, JACK!!!

It’s not specifically transphobia, but I think its when you spend years and years of fucking around with culture wars that really fucks you up.  Like, a lot of is performative, obviously, but when you spend so much of your time fighting with people on the internet, that doesn’t leave in you in a good place.

and at one point they agreed that testing free-speech by pointlessly provoking people was, well, pointless. He must have forgotten that point...

I think the problem is far more exacerbated in later Z and Super in that a big point about DBZ is about struggle (goes on and on) and that Goku largely only wins due to a combination of luck and team effort.

In Super, Goku is the wickedest motherfucker in the land so he has to win. And because he “has to win” everyone…

Doesn’t print money and isn’t as easy to make.

I think the thing I love most about this video is that it manages to meld the high-flying/ki-blast antiques of DBZ with the chinese mythology of original DB making something literally unique for the franchise.

Because maaaaan...Dragonball is so stuck in a rut now that it’s really frustrating.  The latest DBS arc really…

Here’s the reality: we aren’t the general gaming public.

People who read up on gaming news are a vocal minority. Most people don’t give a shit about news, politics, or whatever the fuck Blizzard is doing. They see Diablo. They see shiny new game. They buy. That’s it.

Not trying to be a dick, but that’s the truth. 

“OP is out of line, but he’s right.”

Sure.  You might miss a lot of references.  Yakuza 0 was my first Yakuza, and I found it an incredibly experience.  I’m sure it rewards you for playing the other games, but Yakuza 0 is absolutely made as an introduction for people into the world of Yakuza.
