GAMERS MAD ABOUT THING THAT HASN’T HAPPENED YET

Breaking Fucking News: Gamer community complains about thing.

Like sure of course it’s fair use and journalistic, but I don’t really see the appeal of doing a deep dive into a pitch like this. It was just a pitch. In every entertainment-focused industry, stuff gets pitched, trashed, cancelled, shelved, reformed, and forgotten all the time. A big chunk of my own job involves…

This is a colossal leak, obtained through likely criminal means.

“Now, let’s be clear, there’s nothing wrong with copying.”

Really?

IT’S ABOUT ETHICS IN VIDEO GAME JOURNALISM

YES THIS IS ABOUT ETHICS IN VIDEO GAME JOURNALISM

I get to play Halo, FIFA, Trek to Yomi, MLB The Show, NBA 2K, Death’s Door, Sable, Outer Wilds, Ori, Unpacking, The Pedestrian, Oxenfree, Genesis Noir, Spiritfarer, etc etc etc etc for a fraction of the price of buying even one of them. Literally no downside. If you want to unsubscribe because you don’t want to play…

Hey this game was fun when I played it for a couple days 2 years ago when I was borrowing a friend’s PS4! Sure would’ve been fun to play it on my Xbox or Switch in the last 2 years!

YEAH IT’S NO FAIR WE NEVER GET TO HEAR THE OTHER SIDE TELL US WHY THEIR PYRAMID SCHEME IS ACTUALLY GOOD! FAIR AND BALANCED NFT NEWS ONLY! 

Yikes, either that guy’s bike seat is way too low or the frame is way too tall! He should maybe install a VR bike shop app and get virtually fitted for a more comfortable ergonomic ride. 

FINALLY, VINDICATION FOR A LIST OF VIDEO GAMES

I’m right there with you. I turn it on a couple times a week, sometimes before work in the morning, play a couple rounds, have fun, sometimes win, sometimes lose. I don’t follow video game Twitter, I don’t lurk on Halo Reddit, I just play the game. And I had no idea that everyone was somehow mad at it!

“Months of disapp…

And Kotaku’s logo looks kinda like the ESPN logo. Holy shit gamers need to relax and not whine about every fucking decision video game companies make. 

They make way fewer death threats for one. 

And apparently The Green Mile is the height of dramatic filmmaking achievement.

There’s a hundred different angles you can look at this story from, but both the article and most of these comments aren’t really taking into account how this has actually played out. The IOC itself (not to unilaterally defend the IOC, they’re weird and fucked for any other number of reasons) seemingly wants to ban…

I legitimately don’t understand the purpose of GameStop at this point. For a while there it seemed like it was the best option for finding used games for those of us who didn’t want to spend $60-70 on a new release and didn’t mind waiting a few months or a year. But for damn near a decade now their used prices aren’t…
