In a world where stereotypes affect everything from advertisements to police shootings, why wouldn’t they emphasize the fact that they’ve designed something that has defied them AND is the number 1 game in the world?

Geez, Kaplan is clearly quoted above saying, “Whether we like it or not, we’ve sort of entered the political discussion. “ Like the author said, representing inclusivity is inherently political. It just is. 

You don’t sound very intelligent and that’s the crux of this debate: People who aren’t very intelligent, polluting debate, creating white noise.

Everything in art is political. Politics and ideology are not avoidable. Monopoly is capitalism; wouldn’t exist if you didn’t implicitly understand capitalist notions.…

They don’t, though. They answer when people ask them.

The only people seeing “forced” inclusivity is people like you, who inherently *WANT* to see it as forced and thus always will.

It’s the idea that every single time a gay character exists, people such as yourself will see it as pandering rather than the fact that…

And yet, I think it’s pretty awesome for Kaplan to make the statements he has, because they demonstrate that this is first-order thinking on pure game design terms, as opposed to some personally motivated move on the part of himself or his team. This is a sign that diversity and inclusion are becoming part of the…

This liberal bias is exactly why I canceled my subscription to Deadspin. I just read all the words in the articles and comment sometimes.

I could...or I could just set $40 on fire. Just as fun lol

That’s my thing too. I don’t dislike the PvP modes, but PvE, especially of this stripe feels so darn good, and it feels like a very natural addition to the game. many moons ago I used to play Combat Arms religiously, and it wasn’t for getting teabagged by 13 year old Brazilian hackers, it was for the game’s PvE…

Why am I taking the time to respond to this post when I can be playing another round of this right now? I freaking love it!

You used deign in a sentence.

By “people like her” I assume you mean psychopaths? The guy offered SEVERAL times to take her to her destination if she would just shut up. Maybe you missed the PHYSICAL threat she made to him AFTER he decided to take her to her destination. She said “we’ll see what I have waiting for you when we get there.” Or words…

You watched the video and you’re going to defend her?

Let’s put it this way: if I see a future thinkpiece about the “problematic” language of this guy, who had just gotten out of a massively stressful and threatening situation at the hands of an utter shitbag, I’ll have to tie my hands to the desk to keep myself from throwing a brick through my monitor.

Don’t care. Really, really don’t care in this instance. And, frankly, it seems silly to focus on that when the actual story is one person threatening to ruin another person’s livelihood, and making the problem of believing sexual assault victims more difficult in the process.

I will. Don’t spit fire and act like an ass if you can’t fucking take it.

Kotaku has a “no junket” policy and does not accept travel from the people we cover. When we go to publisher/developer events, we pay for our own flights and accommodations.

You mean to tell me, I could have been maining a damn CAT in a damn JETPACK this whole time? And they didn’t follow through, why? Because I can’t have nice things?

Also, JetPaw (the obvious name for the confirmed new cat in jetpack hero) should be countered by a new Hanzo laser pointer arrow.
