Um. How does this affect me as someone who has bought the game back when it was Early Access? Will I still be able to play it, I wonder? What will my conscience say?

I'm rebuying it on sheer principle. Thank you, kind stranger!

Let me flag offensive Kotaku articles and then I'll be happy.

All of those IPs had clearly delineated ownership, merely dead, defunct or insolvent owners. TRON 2.0 is a monstrous Gordian Knot of legal issues, I think.

1. Yes, the animations are cool. They look bullshotted for promo purposes (very few games actually provide such animations outside of cutscenes, due to immense amounts of work involved) though.

Because the IP ownership is muddled as fuck. Sierra's dead body is being molested by ActiBlizz, Monolith belongs to WB Games and Disney pretends this awesome game doesn't exist. Who, if ever, would actually submit it to Steam and then reap the moneys without legal problems?

Clock Tower. Play Clock Tower. It may change your opinion.

All you crazy kids are crazy. If you don't like Dead Space 3, I have to ask, why did you like Dead Space 2? Most of the aesthetic changes the Interwebs had a hissy fit over Dead Space 3 were already present in 2:

Nope. Hence the weird staggered launches, denying most non-gaming services to not-Americans, etc.

Are you for real?

Like in the original Wasteland, only combat skills are obligatory. Everything else is cruft that will define which tasks you can breeze through and which will probably have to be solved by force rather than more-XP-providing finesse or won't be available at all.

That's not an explanation, that's bullshit.

Considering what they did with Peace Walker on the measly PSP hardware, I won't be surprised about anything at this point.

X-Men Legends 2 handled her the same way - she could steal powers from enemies and while she could only take one new attack from someone, it made her fun to play (and one of the door-opening puzzles actually accepted her trying to use her powers on the puzzle as a solution).

So this is basically Lander with Angry Birds controls and Scorched Earth graphics? Meh, nothing original these days.

Chandler and Joey's apartment is missing all the posters. Are you seriously telling me there aren't posters available as decorative elements? =(

Don't all Persona male protagonists look that way?

They have received plenty of hate, a lot of scrutiny in media and the blogoblogs, as well as some, although small-scale, traditional "give me my Kickstarter money back" calls; partly because of the shortness of the finally-released part of the game, and partly because there's always someone dissatisfied with anything.

This is the one feature I'd actually love to see in an XCOM game. Balancing access that the world press gets to your organization with how brutal or respectful you are to the aliens, or even your own staff. It's a game all about securing funding, after all.

Imagine how I feel, as a Silicon & Synapse fan that grew up with Lost Vikings, and Rock'n'Roll Racing and BlackThorne, to see Blizzard become "The 'Craft and Diablo Company".
