Lol that’s the funny part about this article. The entire point of the article is the audience HAS been vocal about 70$ games, then at the end goes “oh yeah, have you checked the COMMENTS SECTION??”.

If they have to dig down the hard to justify a naming convention, it’s probably better to do something else? That’s only going to cause confusion, and Roman numerals and Arabic numerals have been used interchangeably for a while now.

Me watching you all dunk on this guy:

I found Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, failed congressional candidate and ardent Trump supporter Christina Hagan, and Dinesh D’Souza.

Straight from the wiki entry:

Well, this counts as that IMO considering the entire reason for doing this is to maximize the money made when it releases. It’s completely scattershot & stupid as you say, but I can see the monetary motivation behind it all.

Not surprising considering it was that way in Fallout 4, just with way less sexy talk. You took a rest on a bed and [companion] would get up with some casual remark, and you got an XP buff. Really crazy that they called that a “romance” in Fallout, and I’m guessing it’ll be more of the same here.

Sounds like Nintendo being capitalist assholes and not really caring about the collateral damage, imo.

Since we’re getting lazy here, the poverty the article talks about is “fuel” poverty in context of last year’s winter autumn, which is probably related, by some amount, to Russia’s war in Ukraine. While that’s definitely a form of poverty, the way this article uses it in the general sense is a bit shifty, at minimum.

Huh? Dragon Age Origins itself was predictable...it wasn’t anything new, storywise. I’d even go so far as to say the writing in Dragon Age has been pretty good overall.

That is true. Gotta make these articles spicy so Jim Spanfeller’s personal allowance for GrubHub’d Cracker Barrel Grits stays in the green.

Yep. It’s also enabling these writers bloggers to be lazy. No point in contacting the writer who wrote the sign I guess. That’s for actual journalists! Nevermind the fact that “punch up” reads more like self-deprecating humor than hostility at Ortega.

I love how this entire...”spat” seems so minor, yet this article makes it into a big deal. The guy who did the sign made a joke sign (about a show he had no relation to), but I doubt it’s one of the reasons he’s picketing. Ortega (probably) did some good on-the-fly rewriting of the script. What’s the issue here…

Phil Spencer’s doing his monthly self-flagellation press tour kind of early.

People who are online a lot seems to really struggle with the fact that normal people are just busy with real life. Like you generally don’t have time to browse your Steam Queue or whatever when there’s a job, bills, kids, etc.

Not only does the market not really exist yet, but SONY OWNS HAVE THE PATENTS IN THE FUCKING SPACE thanks to 2012 Gaikai purchase.

The machine is already broken if a food delivery app is shoving instant-regret meals in my face that I’d have to perform the walk of shame to acquire.
