wait, wait wait, before i laugh at you...

Kotaku has paid Geoff Keighley quite a bit for freelance work in the past, yet I see no mention of it here in this article where Kotaku claims some kind of superiority over this man who they contracted with. Does Kotaku treat all its former freelancers this way? Will Kotaku issue an apology for having worked with this…

I’m confused as to why people seem to think Keighley should be an activist. His shows are and have always been marketing shows. The only time he’s ever mentioned a publisher in a negative light was Konami and that was only after it essentially left the gaming industry and was no longer relevant.

Seriously. Social apps and platforms have changed pretty often at least as long as I’ve been using it, and I started in 1990. People will go somewhere else if it’s banned.

Without sounding like a millennial with a lawn complex (fat chance), from years of experience, this is not the impending apocalypse zoomers...

Some other company will fill the void, you’ll move to it and forget that TikTok ever existed. The same thing happens with every social media product that was the “big thing” for some period of time.

Yeah.  This guy gets it. It's less a tiktok ban and more a force of ownership change. Nothing is likely to change

The same thing happened before with apps such as Grindr. It’ll just be sold to a non-Chinese company.

Gaming communities will survive - thrive, even - without TikTok. Get a grip.

Wasn’t Kotaku part of the crowed calling TikTok Chinese spyware back when it first came out. Is that no longer the party line?

what? “Which studio is making this game” is like a baseline piece of information to publicize and if your publisher’s press team is incapable of coordination less complex than a highschool group project, why the hell do they exist to begin with?

Movies do always tell which studio/director is making the movie though, so this analogy doesn’t make much sense since this studio is making all of the game, not just some obscure part of it.

This is just Nintendo being arseholes for the sake of it. They have a long and ignoble tradition of just being twattish about things. Fuck ‘em.

Nintendo doesn’t develop most of the games that use their characters. Everyone knows that by now, and it wasn’t some big secret until recently.

Atlus is such a strange case. Back when FES launched, Atlus was a smallish company struggling to scrape by. Sure, they were successful for their size, but you get the impression from P3 and P4 that their ambition was way higher than their budget. And things like FES weren’t them trying to double dip, but legitimately…

Good.

This feels like the 70s when networks would create spin-offs for anything even moderately successful.

One step closer to the Chuck Lorre Cinematic Universe (CLCU).

Its important to remember that back in the PSX era, multiple discs didn’t represent “plot” or “content”, but rather storage for lots of FMV cutscenes. The final sections of the game needed a lot of space for video of it’s climactic scenes and the ending. In reality, without FMV, the entire game easily fits on one…

to be fair, the third disc was only the final battle, so it’s mostly just one disc worth.
