Oh, come on. The writer loves the series, dislikes this aspect of it, writes a piece that explains what happens in the games and what might be behind it.

Star Citizen is going to go down in history as the game that was shaped by public opinion.

Notice how when new stuff for Star Citizen comes out you don’t hear a peep from journalists, yet when there is any sort of news like this about the project, or they are changing engines (which amounted to very little) or there…

The Gaming Community, in contrast, has NOT reviewed its own policy of asking 10+ year veterans the equivalent of “have you tried jiggling the handle” when offering their unsolicited amature hour opinions to industry veterans, and then pretending like their consumerism gives them the power and authority of demi-gods.

...even if they were right in firing her, it started a shitstorm.

Who the hell is Darth Vader?

Seriously, they’re almost as bad as those losers playing Overwatch and Fortnite when there are games that I personally, as the expert on video games, enjoy more and think they should all be playing.

I’ve never been so surprised coming back around to a game. Granted it’s been YEARS, but when I left this it was a crashy little proof of concept. It’s now a full and proper racing game, and I love it.

I backed this one when they were first crowdfunding it, and for quite a lot of its early access, I really wasn’t very hopeful about it. They were changing the physics model all over the place, it never really felt right or fun, and kept getting delayed more and more...

We nonetheless would argue that Ms. Huckabee, and Ms. Nielsen and Mr. Miller, too, should be allowed to eat dinner in peace.

It has to do with the predominant neoliberal schema for viewing and understanding the world. Neoliberal ideology views everything through an economic lens, in the same way Realist IR theory views everything through the lens of power, mostly state power. It’s the assumption under their framework.

I have, and it’s the neoliberal focus on viewing the world through a heavily economically focused, if not solely economically focused, lens. That is a neoliberal trait, even if it’s not as blatant outside the US which has a stronger capitalist bend. 

I miss the Flash Sales so much...thats where the crazy discounts were

Nah not really, If you follow the production you can see the progress. Still in alpha, most games that are developed have a similar amount of time being produced before ever reaching beta. We have just been given a full roam of the process for the first time. People criticize and poke fun, but, it’s kinda silly…

I don’t know how so many people don’t understand game development. It has been 5 years. 5 years is also the ammount of time God of War took and i don’t recal people saying it was “never coming out”. Horizon Zero Dawn took 5 years, and i don’t recal people saying it was never coming out. GTAV took over five years and i…

This is why i shake my head at those who say streamers “have no real job” or “have it easy.” Streaming can be, and usually is, incredibly mentally and emotionally draining. In most cases, say goodbye to your social life, any hobbies outside of it, and physical health. You stream for 8-10 hours a day, and there’s a…

The difference is that that Perkins isn’t compiling books of children’s drawings, then turning around and selling them for $60 each.

Rest in Peace Ninja Theory, you will be sorely missed.....

Why does that upset you? I used to feel like I only wanted Steam. But to be fair, why should they needlessly lose 30% of a games profit just to make Valve money? It’s not about wanting their own store, it’s that Valve wouldn’t negotiate a better rate. And to be honest, at least the Origin store isn’t a cluster fuck of…
