This is my level of sadness every time I come to the same realization.

ks takes their cut (5-7% including cc fee)
taxes (as much as 15%)
so now you’re at 80% of total
fulfillment of nongame stuff (5%)
fraud, chargebacks, failed payments (2.5%)
initial marketing staff and assets (7%)
now you’re at 65%
misc shit like legal, rent, etc. (5%)

Happy Fathers Day Mike! It is my first Fathers Day. My son Oliver is 12 weeks old now!

Metroid is my favorite game series of all time. I’m a guy. I don’t need the character I’m playing as to represent my gender. That’s the point of the roleplaying.

This. Let the creator do whatever he wants. Nobody is being oppressed

I’m fully up for having female main-protagonists, but I see no reason for an existing and established character to have his gender changed just because #equality.

I wish, oh how I wish, that this game will be a proper Thousand Year Door sequel, but I’m not holding my breath — especially if they are refusing to show more after the initial trailer that basically indicated it would be following in Sticker Star’s footsteps.

It’s still one of the saddest things for me to read about…

Right there with you.

Oh. Okay then.

but what does that mean for Ni no Kuni 2?

(Based on comments so far) Guess I’m the only one excited. Finished it on the pc a few years ago, and kept meaning to go back.

Am I the only person who actually liked ME3? And I..cried at the ending..Had flashbacks of all the moments and characters that led me to that decision. Look, I get the hatred and all but it was very personal to me, I replayed the previosu 2 games in close proximity so it was all fresh to me, so I really felt it when…

I’m not with you on that. I love the series and will be back for it.

I bet the two of them had a great conversation.

As someone from The Netherlands - having a long national history of dealing with holding back water - I can tell you that nothing is foolproof...

Thanks for the counter-point and downright catty finish. You’re a fun read!

May have just found a summer time game for my little one. He loved Triple Deluxe and is getting ready to start his summer vacation.

Agreed. I know Patrick K. just bought a house. I think about my family and the thought of any sort of insecurity at a time like that is very nerve-racking.

Thanks to everyone who keeps reading and supporting Kotaku. We love you all.
