The ethics of paid mods is a weird way to frame it. A person spent time and effort doing something and they chose to ask for compensation instead of giving it away for free. Fair enough. Whining about that is really an example of scaling remarkable peaks of entitlement.

What’s extra pathetic is that he obviously did this to boost his own ego, but hides behind excuses like “it hurts the developer.” The game comes out on Friday. A leak a week before a game comes out is supposed to harm Bethesda how exactly?

He’s so smug and proud it’s honestly pathetic. People like this are just so intensely lame. 

“I am now a pariah of that subreddit,” Adkins wrote in his initial email. “I get it, hype and excitement are at an all-time high. I’m just as excited as the next person, but I draw the line at theft. I was raised to believe that crime doesn’t pay. I had hoped our society, and so-called Bethesda fans could be held to…

A reminder your local library isn’t everybody’s local library.

Now he’s going to buy valorant and ban anyone who boos him.

At the same time it’s a kick in the nuts to those who were told they could buy a Series S and not miss out on gameplay features that would be available on Series X.

It's not like more characters is enticing people to come back when you don't have an easy, straightforward path to unlocking them without paying money.

I feel placing all the negative feedback on the shoulders of the pve mode really doesn’t capture why people are so disappointed with Overwatch 2. It’s certainly part of it, but the lack of the promised pve features exists only in the context of Overwatch 1's content being removed from the game for those features and…

Ever expanding game in all the ways except you know, the ones we promised when we sold it to you.

That is a demerit. Three demerits and you’ll receive a citation. Five citations and you’re looking at a violation. Four of those and you’ll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you’re looking at a written warning. Two of those, that’ll land you in a world of hurt… in the form of a disciplinary review written up…

I hate how much of online gaming discourse revolves around bad takes made by ill-formed idiots looking to make a quick buck off rage-bait videos.

Yo that’s absolutely wonderful news. Fuck the Saudi royal family and the companies taking money from them.

old man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn

They needed ONE THOUSAND officers for just two thousand people??? One pig for every two people? People who are just trying to get a Playstation and not even trying to overthrow democracy or anything like that.

I can’t imagine the type of person who’s walked into any Gamestop in the past decade and thought (likely while surrounded by the scattered remains of lootboxes and Hot Topic reject merchandise) “yes, this is the business whose success and 4D chess-like strategies will greatly change my fortunes!” Gamestop is a…

Just got to untighten the graphics on level 3

idk 15 years is a great run, I’d consider this pretty successful

The ideas where *so incredibly* basic, 100 course level, surface-skimming concepts that the fact The Gamers(tm) reacted the way they did still dumbfounds me when I think about it. I cannot think of a single thought experiment more harmless than any concept she discussed.

If it remains 60 bucks a year / 5 bucks a month when paid annually, which is the price I’ve been paying for years, I’m fine with it. I suspect that price will quickly creep up, though.
