Just because thoughtlessness isn’t the same as outright malice, doesn’t mean it’s not hurtful.

This is straight bullshit.

On one hand. I think some of the backlash is too much. “Punch in the gut” cause your character had a baby and got into a relationship is too much. Its not that serious.

Yeah, like how GTA Online “balanced out” by becoming a playground for rich trolls with flying bikes and orbital weapon strikes.

My Christ, I could write a book on every dev touting their online games with “___ with your friends”. Where are these 40+ year old people I know down to posse up at the drop of a hat? Or happen to be playing the exact same game on the exact same platform at the exact same time as I am? Being forced into matchmaking is…

I totally agree. I’m an adult with kids, responsibilities and a fairly substantial admiration for the free time I get. This sounds absolutely horrible. 

Yeah.... HOLY FUCK THIS. I hated GTA online and I’m sure I’ll dislike this too. Keep me on the single player side of things and I’ll be fine.

For example, if you want to completely change each metal piece on the starting rifle it will cost 30 gold bars, which currently could take 200+ hours to earn.

I second the shit out of these takes, especially since the company’s own data proves minorities barely scraped by breaking even. Diversity initiatives are a lot of talk and objectively difficult to follow through with, especially since the candidate pool will be disproportionate. (Huge Hint: Diversity goals aren’t…

Let’s logic this out. If the diversity initiative focuses on certain groups over others that means the others are already well represented in the workforce. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a diversity initiative. Provided the company is not hiring unqualified candidates or firing well represented group members to make way…

Yeah logged in a while back because i wanted to drive one of those jet motorcycles and saw the price and logged right off.

“as usual, will be free”

If you think Kotaku is on Ubi’s payroll, you haven’t been here very long, huh?

Aside from that, those things were covered on here when they were relevant, but now they aren’t. What is relevant right now is the fact that the game is pretty fun, albeit not for everyone, and in generally working condition, and you can…
