no you see, abuses of technology are ‘inevitable.’ we can’t do anything about it, and should just accept it forever no matter how bad it gets. /s

Maybe this trend is bad and always has been and we should stop dismissing it as “progress?”

understanding why a person might pay for art is not difficult, lmao.

Lol. No.

Do you not think it’s a little callous to describe the debate around trans rights as “a progressive online circle jerk”? You may not care for the people affected and find it easy to dismiss the concerns of trans people, but these conversations can and do have real world consequences, and like it or not, JK Rowling is h…

I have wanted a truly full, immersive Hogwarts-based game for over two decades now, and have literally dreamed about it in that time. It absolutely kills me that it’s finally coming out, and that I cannot in good conscience buy it and subsidize rowling’s bigotry.

quoting your own tweet in your own article... classy.

I get the ‘flawed’ part, but nothing in this review indicates a ‘gem’.

Sounds to me this is going to be a 3 waits game:

You’re alone on the ship, you’re out of fuel. You desperately search around the few asteroids in the system scavenging what little you can find. But you’ve stayed too long. You hear the footsteps, he’s here. And all that fills you is dread as they speak.

The answer to all of your questions is yes. Not “yes, always” of course, but yes - people still want these things and still do these things.

Absolutely, I’d greatly prefer the game on the 3 discs versus download only. I disconnect from the internet whenever I get a new game to avoid the updates. I will not be buying MW2.

During the 360 era and well into my PS4 ownership I would often operate like this: purchasing physical discs and installing them while disconected from the internet. And unless I was actively engaged with some form of multiplayer part of the game, I would remain offline as I played.

The reason is obvious. Have we all not bee gaming lately? Release now, finish later. In six months you will be able to get it for $15 with all the bug fixes and a 60fps mode.

Considering that the game was expected to launch on Xbox One and PS4 up until late in development, AND it’s only at 30fps on the newer consoles, AND the high PC Specs fully indicate that this game is not well optimized.

To be silent is to be complicit in her own undervaluing. Will some jags label her difficult? Yep, and she won’t work with those difficult jags saving herself future headaches. There will also be people who admire her taking a stand and demanding to be paid what she is worth and will want to work with somebody with…

And that’s why you should just cut your loses, decide to never work with them again and walk away without stirring the drama pot

VAs are increasingly talking about the shit pay they get, I think it’s good for her to continue to add to the conversation. 

corporate malfeseance should always be called out.  this isnt “stirring the drama pot”, its about workers’ rights!

can’t wait for the chodes to all rush in defending billion dollar corporations paying their talent poverty peanut wages.
