The article actually does give “reasons.” Try reading it again.

Your experience matches my own.

When a white person brings up “black on black crime” that is code for “I do not like black people and I think that they are deserving of violence because they have brought it on themselves”.

puts me in the mind of:

This is the part that burns me up. Discuss Kaep, BLM, anything and the inevitable questions is “Well why isn’t anyone talking about black on black crime?” And a simple Google search can turn up tons of marches and conferences in the black community on this very subject.

I wish there could be some realistic middle ground that accepts they fuck up regularly yet still lauds and enjoys their products. No it has to be polarizing and contentious.

How are there so many people who think expressing criticism of art is a reprehensible action just because you aren’t being forced to watch it?

“How do you do, fellow open world survival games?”

What irked me about the Chaos system was the way the game would judge you at the end. I’m fine with the logic of how things change, and I like the moral ambiguity that most, if not all, of the nonlethal resolutions were arguably worse than murder, but don’t give me a shitload of powers and gadgets geared towards…

I generally play the pacifist route in any game, but tailored my philosophy for doing so in Dishonored as the world being such a broken demiurge’s creation that the punishment of living far outweighs the mercy of death.

I have yet to play the 2nd one, but I remember the first Dishonored had a “good” option to kidnap a woman and hand her over to her stalker rather than just killing her. That hardly seems preferable.

Of course you’re right that video game publishers do some shady things, be it stuffing their games with microtransactions, showing off generous E3 demos when they know the game won’t look even close to as good, or — worst of all — exploiting labor practices to get unpaid overtime out of all of their workers.

That’s the thing. You’re talking about marketing people. For every Peter Molyneux making ambitious promises to the press, there are 100 developers under him who not only have to deal with cleaning up the mess but also have to watch posters on Reddit and NeoGAF call them all liars.

*Company releases the 673rd Military Shooter of the year*

Not sure why you think their games aren’t selling. Steamspy shows this not to be the case.

Along those lines, I have always been fascinated by Han Solo saying “I’ll see you in Hell” in Empire Strikes Back. Not only do they have these people whose religion is based on an unseen Force that some people can control and manipulate, but they also have a concept of Heaven and Hell.

Good. Children should not be made aware of the existence of genitals until after they are married, if then.
