I’m sorry that you have to write about this middle school shit.

I’ll pass. It looks impressive (and I NEED to play the RE games in VR at some point), but I’d basically only be playing it for a limited amount of games.

My understanding is that it’s more akin to: some random guy in the Louvre “sells” you the Mona Lisa, and what you actually own is a receipt saying that you own the Mona Lisa, while the painting itself stays exactly where it is and you have no actual control over what happens to the painting itself.

Its baffling to me people are complaining that ps5 only put out a bunch of great games this year and did nothing else. 

Honestly, Emily, why not let another Jez writer take this piece if you’re so personally aggrieved that Prince Harry is discussing work-life balance and mental health? I don’t always agree with your colleague Kelly Faircloth’s takes, but at least she tries to present things somewhat fairly, most of the time.

Especially unclear and unhelpful to someone like me who doesn’t live in the US.

“Did the PS5 get it? Did we get $2,000 checks from the U.S. Government in the spring?”

The shitty DLC no one liked until they were told they can’t have it.

Faster, sure. But there’s always a business decision between “How much/long will it take for us to do this?” versus “How much will we get from doing it?”

I would mod this in but then I’d have to play this DLC again and frankly I don’t hate myself enough to do that.

The competition achieved this with a proprietary solution that may end up costing consumers more. At least this approach allows you to shop around different manufacturers and drive capacities. 

“See, it’s cool, because only 99.99999% of people using emulators are using them illegally! This article is obviously for the one out of a million people ripping their ROMs!”

Sure would be nice if people could purchase the game without having to purchase it on the Switch.

I sincerely hope that Kotaku never gets a review copy of a game again.

You’re saying a company is not entitled to make money on a product they released one day ago?

I didn’t have the exact words for why this article made me uneasy, but this is it. You nailed it. I support archival and even deeper rights for the end user of software than currently exist, but this... this feels wrong.

No, it isn’t. The lack of exclusive content on the next-gen consoles a full year after launch is unprecedented.

Fucking Texas.

Exactly this.  Not loading random disks you find on the ground is literally part of the cybersecurity training at my place of employment (and most likely many others).  It’s cute and clever, but in terms of actually attracting the right person, probably not so much.

So... she’s looking for people who are nerdy enough to still possess floppy drives in 2021, but who are also naive enough to load random disks and potentially give malware a front-row seat to their entire digital life?
