Well no. Like I said before, what you’re stating would imply that Gamergate somehow went from being a grass roots movement to being a full fledge political movement. That didn’t happen.

Basically there’s two conversations at play here: Gamergate and white supremacy at large. And while we can have an argument about…

We call them “pick-mes” People who are women, PoC, LBGTQ, and immigrants who believe that by aligning themselves with their oppressors, that they will be spared by being “one of the good ones.”

Except they’re not though.  For Gamergate to have won it would have needed to supplant itself as both a valid political movement and representative of the majority of gamers (it didn’t) and it would have needed to force change among game journalism, you know the thing it claimed it wanted to do (it also did not do…

Except that’s absolutely bullshit. Gamergate didn’t become synonymous with right-wing nonsense because leftist gaming websites like Kotaku were mean to them, it became synonymous with right-wingers “because” Gamergate’s vague notions of “unethical journalism” allowed anyone with beef with games journalist to fly that…

sounds about Right.

The point being made is that Kanye, for as much money and social clout he has, does not have the political power that Trump, unfortunately, does.

I’m with you there.  Part of the reason I wasn’t all in on the CoD hate that was prominent during the late the 2010s is because I respected the single player campaign as scripted blockbuster affairs that could go crazy in ways that other games just didn’t.

If they haven’t done it already, I kinda would love a fun little one-shot of an Alternate universe Spider-man,

bruv, wut?

If OP’s user name wasn’t a dead giveaway that they are a troll....

Largely because Sasha Grey was one of the few female pornstars who were able to achieve a level of success outside a taboo medium.

Seriously.  This is probably my most hyped game for 2023.  Everything they’ve been showing has been fantastic.

If Nintendo went multiplatform, the increase in units sold would far outweigh the losses from whatever cuts they’d have to pay.

“t takes a very small team (usually just a few programmers, a UX designer and some QA) to handle ports.

The thing is..there’s probably evidence that it’s less him being out right anti-sematic and more of him trying to make a point about “Cancel-culture.” Which doesn’t mean much because it’s still him saying anti-semetic shit. And him saying that he can’t be anti-semetic because he’s Black is such a dumb fucking take.…

Bingo. I still cannot believe that in the year of our lord 2022 people still do not understand what Nintendo is doing, still do the thing where they post “I dunno I think Nintendo definitely is going to drop off for sure this time” and then do a “Pikachu shocked face” when Nintendo makes all of the money.

The Steam…

They do know the PC exists—they just don’t need it. And while yeah they are leaving “money on the table,” it’s not about being stuck in the 90s and more about knowing exactly what works for them and staying their lane—and its paid dividends.

The closest that any platform has gotten to the metaverse as its known as is Fortnite.  Like that’s it.  Everyone is trying to make their own metaverse, but like it or not Fortnite is going to be the defacto “metaverse” for a majority of people.

Of all the takes, this is absolutely the dumbest one imaginable as if Mario himself was representative of real live Italians. He’s fucking not. I”m generally on the side of Kotaku with their hot takes, but this definitely feels like an article thirsty for views.

That, and as people are going to be saying, Pratt is…

Again, and I will scream this to the heavens, that’ s not how it went down. I get that time heals all wounds and we’re nearly three years away from that launch, but the problem was not “there were some bugs” it was, CDPR took advantage of the hype cycle and released an unfinished product to maximize profit. That’s…
