I mean that’s a dumb litmus test but it’s especially dumb when you’re talking about Final Fantasy and Halo, two series that are not nearly as popular as they used to be.

Fried chicken and watermelon are very well-known racist stereotypes. Like...some of the most well-known negative stereotypes about African Americans dating back to the Civil War. You not being aware of it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be moderated. Some imagery could be questionable, but the specific examples you’ve cited…

“I come before you today with an indie game! Perhaps the greatest indie game of all... nah, this indie game isn’t for you. It’s more of an itch.io kinda indie game!”

At this point, Overwatch 2 is basically the rake gag from The Simpsons

I don’t think they were defending the title or saying the title shouldn’t be changed. It reads, to me, like they were saying it could very well be the case that the development team had no idea of what the possible connotations of the original name were.

You’re still here, giving clicks and feeding the beast which means they win. Eventually you’ll get a clue.

That’s not how any of this works.

I love Kojima as a game director and his penchant for making film-adjacent game experiences. Having said that, I absolutely don’t trust him to write and direct something that has to fit a feature film runtime.

Unless this is written and directed by someone else, I don’t actually expect this to come out. Kojima is an absolutely terrible writer and shows no aptitude for cinema.

I’m sorry a PC owner stole your boy and/or girl. That must have been really painful. Luckily you have your console to cuddle at night.

Every time I hear about a Twitch streamer it’s because they’re a piece of shit. Stop giving them free publicity by writing about them.

I think it’s time to stop reading Kotaku.

This article, and the product it’s about, are dumb even by current GMG standards. Well done.

Please delete this post, thank you.

Kotaku would like you to know there is a new Spider-Man game out.

Seriously what is it with male gamers (TM) and their hate of MJ and red haired women in gaming in general? It seems they have something new to complain about every day. 

“According to Axios, part of the reason Immortals 2 was canned was so that Ubisoft could focus on established IP like Assassin’s Creed Red.”

Too bad the game is a manipulative piece of trash at this point :(

You know what, if the studio wants to just shitcan this thing as a tax write-off or something, I think I’m willing to look the other way just this once.

CPR just had the bad luck of becoming the medias latest fad to write articles about.
