100% This. I like how Cecilia points out that its a “no shit” study with “no shit” results. Its like then why spend time writing and posting about it? Oh right because “women!” and clicks for revenue. Her articles are the worst on here and only exist to stir the debate pot for views. The rest of Kotaku is memes,…

They’re a .....special... group, they’ll find something in there to go apeshit about I’m sure.

Aw what a nice book, won’t take long for the fanbase to ruin that too. Super neat to see though given the graphic style of the actual game.

In short they saw how easy it is to prey on gamers unlimited imaginations and piss poor exercise in willpower as NMS and many others have demonstrated perfectly for years now. People are confused at the lack of quality and structure in most games today when they are the problem.

Quick!! Everyone into their safe space bomb shelters!!! Some letters may slightly sorta if thought about might kinda sound like a slur by accident if you think about it!

Goodbye creativity and power fantasies, everything has to be marketed across the board for every snowflake to consider purchasing. Only safe concepts where no one in any form or life style feels uneasy about what is depicted are allowed. Except men, fuck men and their barbarian, naked women and gore reality escapes.…

Woof late night shows are desperate for that younger audience. Theyre either tryhard look im relatable or im old i dont get it schtick. *gag

Seriously, Kotaku quality is dramatically slipping. It’s becoming pretty watered down with just nonsense that belongs elsewhere. The occasional silly stupid thing is a good chuckle but my god I’m seeing less and less real game news with scoops interviews and analysis. It’s just.. Overwatch cosplay... memes and what…

“Bethesda promised fixes” I died laughing there. Its like a predictable alcoholic that never sobers up still saying “Ill fix it”.

Same for many reasons and the double standard is thats not good enough. You have to justify and explain yourself to make others feel better and safe. I love the “well then dont read these things if you dont like them” attitude toward your comment as if that logic doesnt apply to them because theyre offended.

get out, children read these boards ffs.

I wouldnt go that far as it was a set piece npc not a main character but youre not wrong as most cases it is exactly as you put it. This time not so much especially since they are desperate as hell to save this flop.

lmao I thought the same thing after reading the title. I expected it to be authored by Cicilia on one of her sjw click baits filled with the usual white knight comments about women in games. Luckily its not, good on you Kotaku way to be normal.

“Wtf is a kone amy?” - everyone 2 years from now

My eyes only saw MMORPG ends service and instantly knowing the images I thought ffxi was ending again. Wow they didn’t even try to hide assets from one of Japans biggest mmos.

Wow the level of stupidity and entitlement is strong. Kind of hard to respect a community that get’s legit pissed confused when punished for stealing your product.

Nothing illuminati or far fetched about common business models favoring the ones who write the checks. Just the usual David vs Goliath except in this story David is a dumbass and will never win.

Well shes not wrong.

So far it is looking like almost all of them are shit companies except for cd project red and maybe 1 or 2 others. Even the good companies are seeing how easy it is to profit off of dumb impulsive gamers who just shrug off broken games. I feel bad for all the developers who were abused by publishers and went indie…

It’s not a risk, it’s on purpose. Half ass game development is a profit scheme the publishers invented and it works. Gamers are dumb enough to just say “lol oh wells heres my money” over and over. Cut costs, promise a dlc, get paid up front and again later. Easy money. Truly a stupid community and we all suffer for…
