The hilarious part was the ‘vocal fanboy’ reaction when Mortal Kombat decided to go for more realistic female body types for MKX and 11. Internet forums had posts full of raging hate-posts ranting about how SJWs and Feminism are ruining their game. All while saying how the loved the improved gameplay but couldn’t…

Seemingly he pissed off everyone, he did have a habit of being extremely expensive to keep around for one game every few years.

it is maybe the most 3/5-star game I’ve ever played. 

It’s easy to copy something - it’s much more challenging to design and create something. The hard work is the creation. 

Not really, this is a pretty common technique to try and break unions by severing communications between members, isolating them, and putting them among people who don’t enjoy union protection who, in theory, can’t walk out.

I agree it’ll likely backfire because this is from the days when you couldn’t set up a Slack…

all launch missteps aside, you can’t fault them for listening and acting on that feedback. This is probably some of the best turnaround I’ve seen from a AAA studio in awhile.

There are so many things in the world to be mad about or try to fight back against. It’s deeply sad that this pyscho is hung up on a children’s game.

It’s not even that dire. Xbox Game Studios have released 60 projects in the last 5 years alone, 27 of those in the last 2 years. Not all are exclusive, some are ports and remasters. But the studios are busy and productive, its really not a big worry.

I would for sure choose Shapiro, if only to watch trans porn in front of him and watch his stupid brain melt out of stupid ears and eye sockets.

four years now just buying up everything under the sun and what exactly do they have to show for it?

while everything for us as people who like to play games is getting worse

To be fair, it isn’t just our fault. Certainly, “voting with your wallet” should have been applied way, way more often and we should not have defended companies for doing bad shit when those same companies would drop us like a bad habit if we weren’t profitable anymore, but even that will only get us so far. It would…

Yes, they also kinda won those cases in the US. Had they lost, pretty sure they wouldn't have been in a position to launch Xbox in the first place.

Because, for Microsoft, it isn’t about creating content. It is about controlling the market by limiting consumer access to just their ecosystem.

The thing around this whole acquisition though that still strikes me is that Microsoft have spent the last, what, four years now just buying up everything under the sun and what exactly do they have to show for it?

From Gizmodo:

I’ve seen that Joe Rogan is astrology for white dudes... but this... this will be added to the list.

NFTs only make sense if you don’t know what they are or what you’re actually buying.

‘NFTs are just beanie babies for people who get mad whenever there are black people in Star Wars movies’.

Yeah, why would people be upset that people are buying absolutely useless shit that also massively fucks up the environment?
