I see you actually read the whole piece with a critical eye and comprehension. Kotaku wasn't counting on anyone actually doing that, they assumed you'd just react to the headline.

That’s how I read it. Nothing super scandalous, but just a shift in management followed by a regime change. Just like anything there is always a push and pull when it comes to new folks running a group of people. That’s corporate America

Reading through all this and the quotes I’m somewhat confused as to the order of events as it’s seemingly reading like:
- It was a reasonable place to work
- Microsoft bought it and left the old manner of working in place thinking “it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”
- CEO who got paid stopped giving a shit and brought in a…

So that’s a lot of generalizations.

Copyright is indeed automatic, but you can’t enforce your rights through litigation unless the copyright is registered. That’s the actual intent of copyright protection, because that’s what’s written in the law. That’s also what the judge ruled in the previous lawsuits against Epic.

I think you might be confused; Will Smith is a podcaster and game developer, not an actor.

That’s some stream of consciousness stuff right there.

I’d give anything for y’all to assign a Borderlands review to someone who actually enjoys the series, or at least enjoys scatological humor. Every reviewer y’all line up to play a Borderlands game (including Ethan’s earlier review round-up) always makes sure to note their highbrow-disdain for the pee-pee poo-poo humor…

Yeah some of these are a bit “Huh, okay” (Doki Doki Ragnarok particularly).

Turns out that doing something genuinely altruistic leaves little room for criticism.

I never understood that, they could have applied the same ideas they do today but on a scale over all zones, for ex. rotate high difficulty story missions, keep all strikes ...etc.

Exactly, better and better!

So? They don’t lose sales, no one starts a Twitter campaign to cancel Nintendo because of “poor timing” on the release, and people get to say “good on Nintendo” for cancelling the thing. It’s all net positive, I honestly don’t give a fuck the reasoning behind things if it’s all positive outcomes.

Okay, a troll then, got it.

That was such an interesting idea that I wish they would have let breathe more instead of Alfred telling Bruce his father was actually a good(ish) guy in the next scene.

A 40 page slideshow makes av club the worst villain. 

Sprigatito is likely based on the Iberian lynx, a species of lynx found in areas of Spain near the Mediterranean.

You know literally nothing about that project or how much work has to be done

The Dark Knight is no more responsible for crap like the Snyderverse (come at me) than Star Wars is for the glut of tiresome imitator space movies from the 1980s, or Nirvana is for the entirety of late 90s rock. Innovators are not responsible for imitators.

The MCU has delivered literally dozens of non-“grimdark” superhero movies.  If that’s what you like you are well served and D.C. has also made several lighthearted superhero movies like Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Green Lantern. Neither The Dark Knight nor any of the other darker superhero movies are taking anything…
