What publication has that? Not even the New York Times has that. That’s fucking stupid

>yet suffered the same fate.

i will say my most boomer gaming take is that i do not understand when or why we all agreed that ‘current player amount’ was a super important metric in whether a game is a success or not, or even why it’s even worth asking 6-12-15 months after a game came out whether it’s ‘still’ successful or not.

I was just saying they should just make a lower tier for people who want shipping only (like me!). I personally don’t like feeling like I’m paying extra for a streaming service that I never use.

1) Differernt writers, different opinions.

ummm what?  The writer literally says they don’t like Starfield.  I don’t know where you’re getting that Kotaku loves the game, because that sounds like some shit you made up.

Was it the same author who wrote the article you are referring to, or are you saying that the writer’s for a site should all be in agreement about everything relating to a topic they write about?

Then I hope it bites them in the ass. I’m probably in the minority but this was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. I’ve “paused” my automatic renewal so when my membership expires this spring I’ll have to manually affirm if I want to renew or not. In the meantime I’ve removed the Amazon app from my Roku…

The tech absolutely exists and has for years. This seems like an obvious use case for it; that Amazon hasn’t done so suggests they really do not give a shit about their customers or their content creators.

People on the annual plan should have been grandfathered into ad-free to begin with. Hopefully they get it and Bezos has to pay the attorney fees.

It seems like a breach of contract (probably?) for them to add ads into a service that you’ve already paid for for the entire year.  Unlike other streamers, which you technically re-up every month.

I wouldn’t mind if it were just a minute before a show. But nope, they’re intercutting shows with ads, too. As you might imagine, there is no attempt to logically place the ads within the shows, so they often cut in right in the middle of a scene. It’s...not awesome. But I refuse to give Bezos any more of my money for…

I mean the simple answer is that the force spirits don’t really represent the “wrath of angry fans” and are purely a plot device meant to make the remake “kinda different, but not really”

I suppose it might make business sense to not openly declare that a business doesn’t care if their customers all die painfully?

You still have until they get close to releasing the last chapter before you really need to bother starting to play any of them. That’s what I’m doing. Why play now then wait a few years when I can just play them near the release of the last part? Hell, there will probably be a "Complete series box set" released with…

I remember for a while he was doing an X-Files rewatchalong podcast (The X-files Files) that was pretty interesting. He was doing a lot of work on it (going back to early-90's FidoNet message boards to see what fans were saying at the time, among other things), and then just shut it down in a fit of self-pity because…

He had started bulking up before he was even cast. I think it’s just something he wanted to do. 

I’m often reminded after I see a bad movie that just as much work went into it as went into a good movie. Usually the problem stems from a poorly concieved concept from the start. With Eternals, it’s not even that Marvel tried something different, it’s that they didn’t even learn from the whole Inhumans mess. It just…

From hearing him on podcasts, including his own, Kumail is clearly a huge fan of comics and nerd culture; you could tell he was excited to get to be a part of the magic. It sucks so much that, even before we’d seen a frame of the movie, it was apparent he was getting fed into a machine that’d chew him up.

More players being able to access games the better
