Fair point. But this was a targeted campaign that was enabled by exactly this kind of coverage. Denying him the opportunity to do it again seems like the best course of action.

Can we please stop paying attention to this guy now? He literally lied to you and manipulated the gaming media for a week for his own benefit. You don’t have to write about him or his moronic band of followers ever again. Just ignore him.

I’m not at all interested in MOBAs, but this looks like fun in an Overwatch kind of way. How does it control, like a shooter or a third-person action game? Can I use a controller and play well on the PC?

My thoughts exactly. I work in technology journalism, and I’ve more or less taught myself dSLR photography, just because it’s frequently useful. Not having at least intermediate video editing skills while making videos for a living would be like me not being able to use a word processor.

I too would sacrifice your child for a new Skies of Arcadia game. Probably not mine, but definitely yours. Just a heads-up.

Man, why haven’t we gotten a new Crazy Taxi game in over a decade, or at least an HD re-release? Has SEGA just been too busy making the same Sonic and Football Manager junk over and over again?

Electronic Gaming Monthly used to have some great April Fools pranks, before it got run into the ground. The SEGA Neptune and Sonic & Tales in Smash Bros were especially memorable.

Weird. I thought these big YouTube stars did their own editing - it’s not as if it’s some baffling process that’s unrelated to their profession, such as it is. You’d think someone who spends all that time playing video games could learn some basic Premiere and After Effects, if only so he isn’t reliant on others to…

I’m not a fan of Fallon in general, but his genuine enthusiasm is very endearing. I never thought I’d see something like this, ten minutes of a big-name game preview, on late night network TV.

Fair enough. But thinking back, I can’t recall a single anime I’ve seen that didn’t have some sort of fan service. Granted, most or all have been the “boy’s action” shows (or so I’m informed by more knowledgeable people), but even the original seasons of Pokemon when I was a kid had to have a bit of censorship to fly…

I’ve said this before, but as a fairly casual watcher of the occasional anime, the blatant sexual fanservice discourages me from checking out the genre as a whole. That scene from Seven Deadly Sins is a perfect example - after checking out the pilot on a whim, I saw a teenager basically molesting an unconscious woman.…

I didn’t know that. I’ve played it in a PSP emulator, but there’s no way to do multiplayer. Can the PS TV handle two-player (or dare I dream) four-player fights on a single device? If it can I might literally buy it just for the Power Stone collection.

Are we not done? I thought we were done? Are you so desperate for more circular argument that you need to repeat yourself yet again about my “tangent?” (A single sentence, by the way, and not a point of contention until you tried to align me with a political position without knowing my actual proclivities. But who…

If you’re bothered by a relevant metaphor, then I’m sorry for you. I’m sorry it’s so taxing to see how one situation might resemble another, how similar experiences can inform us about similar results. Sorry to “derail” things with a reference to something every adult in the country should be familiar with. My…

The ACA is a relevant example, because it expected amoral corporations to behave against their nature for humanitarian reasons, and is on the brink of failure after a huge reality check. I’m not “that guy” (unless you mean “that guy who would really like to see single-payer but understands that the current lobbying…

The first statement is from the perspective of gamers. You know, because it says it’s “important to gamers.” The second is about publishers. See, it says publishers. Try to keep up here.

It’s hardly “doom and gloom” to predict publishers will act in exactly the way they always do. And regardless of whomever it’s “on,” you can’t force them to act in anyone’s interest but their own... or have you forgotten how the altruistic motivations of the ACA have been twisted and perverted already? Picket outside…

If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride... and incidentally, beggars is what developers would be if they tried to unionize in this job market. There are a lot of things that publishers would rather do than give people a fair wage, and yes, that includes hiring low-skill scabs and making bad games while they…

That’s a good stance. I wish they’d said as much when they were asked during the Ask Me Anything session.

Publishers aren’t going to take money out of their own cut, or management, or advertising. They won’t cut dividends to shareholders, and they can’t realistically increase prices. The developers and associated workers are the ones with the least power, so they’ll be the ones squeezed first. It’s not okay (or even…
