The craziest thing about the arguments that are about “competition between storefronts” is how awful the messaging will be if Epic actually succeeds. You want Steam to improve as a storefront and launcher, fine. EGS being the one to do it shows Steam that features don’t matter, security doesn’t matter, all that…

Most people don’t remember, but before Steam, publishers that had to put up with physical sales were getting only about 30% for themselves on each game sold. 70% were the manufacturing, transport and storage costs plus a cut for the physical stores that were selling the games. Steam turned those rates around giving…

So you are saying they pushed back the release to April 2020?

This was also done years ago to create a new music program which benefits all students. I don’t think the intent was ever to get his kid into the college. It just happened to be a benefit.

Considering that last week’s (old) comic showed her in both pre and post transition designs and Kotaku regularly reposts older comics I think it’s fair to say that most readers remember that she used to identify as male. I wouldn’t say it’s important that we remember, though.

Big overhauls like this tend to take a lot of time. I’m working on a team at a tech company still in the process of overhauling our web platform for customers. We have to do this with as little impact to existing customers as possible and as such that means we spend a lot of time writing code that allows both the old…

I’m not sure what about Epic’s Game Store isn’t itself a “hunk of junk”.

The internet has caused a lot of knee jerk reactions and frankly, it’s getting old. No one has any patience these days.

Guaranteed buy from me and I’ll be buying my gaming friends copies, too.

I have no desire to play DF, I just don’t have the time and energy to get to the point of enjoying story generators, but I’ll definitely buy it because these guys deserve it. So much respect for what they have created even though it’s not for me.

WHY DO YOU THINK TALKS OF UNIONS IS NOW ONGOING?

As VGIRoller said, maybe think about those of us who grew up in the 80s/90s, when what we bought was what we got, and things like patches were unheard of.

The situation is better for gamers now than it ever has been, but development still takes time, identification and correction of bugs is not as simple as, “find…

“Wahhhh i just wanna be an asshole they should take responsibility for their actions but i shouldn’t wahhh”

Others have already said it better: “No fucking shit.”

The purchase of a game (or, really, a license) doesn’t entitle you to shit all over the people who made that game just because it doesn’t conform to your individual expectations.

It entitles you to voice your concerns, certainly, but not to issue threats, drop the…

You mean you want gamers who pay $60 of their hard-earned cash for a broken  AAA title to be nice and friendly with the fucks who ripped them off?

I often think that the REACTION people have at many subjects is sometimes more important than the subject itself.
It reflects where they stand on the issue, and way more importantly, if they are willing to learn something new or just being reflexively antagonistic. When it’s the later, I shut them out to focus on those…

Yes.

It’s a homophobic slur. I don’t care why you’re using it. Just don’t. Change the word f*g to the n-word in the same context and it doesn’t matter. The n-word is a racist slur. And again, just don’t. I don’t care what your intentions are. The less these words are thought and the less these words are said, the better…

It is homophobic. It is derogatory in any context outside of describing a cigarette outside of England. Replace the F word with the N word, and you should understand better.

I’ve found that different salts impart a different flavour. I’ve previously noted that my Maine sea salt tastes like when I failed at boogie boarding as a child on The Cape.
