That’s the joke lol.

A gun’s purpose and USE are radically different things. Look at how many guns in America that aren’t killing anyone. The number of guns used to kill vs the number that do not kill show that guns do not mean murder. People are the problem. If every person in the world had a gun on them and they knew how to use it, it…

So you haven’t picked up your specializations then?

What else can we say to increase sales?

Software Product Owner here: Modern software development is more about getting a usable feature into someones hands first so that you can get feedback earlier from it. Imagine if they focused on something like “achievements” instead of “a smooth purchasing experience”. With gaming it is harder to do because of the…

They could have waited a month and ironed out so many bugs instead of shipping a broken product that thousands will now never touch.

“You keep bringing up the “story” argument here. There is essentially no story in Overwatch.”

“How exactly is this a negative thing? If people are buying the game because they are actually being represented when they are otherwise aren’t ever, isn’t that more of a message to the video game industry that people want to be included in the world?”
Is it good when everyone outside of the group knows it’s a joke?

You do realize that every decision, every line in a game, everything, is done for a -very- profit driven reason right? Overwatch benefits from this forced inclusion by the media/community, so it doesn’t have to be them that spreads the information, anyone can. Look at Kotaku for the character announcements and look at…

I’ve not played any of those games to be honest. I think its fighting and swimsuits/volleyball. I know I’ve seen a beach volley ball game or something. There are a bunch of spin off from what I understand.
Despite knowing almost nothing about the series, I’ve not seen my social media feed blowing up because of some…

Finally, someone gets it.

Thinking that I’m the bad guy doesn’t make me the bad guy. Sorry.

You’ve proven my point perfectly. Kanji, gay or not, isn’t defined by his sexuality. He is -who he is- first, without labels.

Ham-handed is definitely a nice way to put it lol. Blizzard releases this information to the media groups (like Kotaku) because they know it will be spread here (to non-Overwatch players) in an effort to gather more attention for their game. A new hero that has a minigun has no special political conventions and isn’t…

The fact that the game brings up Soldier76 as being gay and then does nothing with it is my biggest problem with Overwatch. They did that as a marketing ploy, not as a meaningful piece of information about the character. In effect they abused a characters sexuality for sales, and I think that is pretty shitty.

I’m all for gay people or anyone really. It just disgusts me when a company abuses the sexuality of a character to increase sales and doesn’t use that sexuality for anything meaningful in the game.

It’s ok that characters are not white males.

If you read around some you would realize that I’m actually over-empathetic to all demographics. The part that I have an issue with is when companies abuse the identities of groups to increase sales.

It’s weird that Kotaku let me keep my comments where it looks like I’m questioning the social issues of the game, but then removes the comments where I criticize the game for abusing social issues.
