I really can’t understand why MMOs focus so much on post-game content. I mean, i know there’s people who can blaze through any content and as such you need post-game stuff, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only interesting content... we don’t need to rush to it! Yeah there should be a way for people to be able to play…

You know the gaming community has gone insane when everybody’s favorite counter-culture odd man out, Mike Fahey, is the voice of reason and even-handedness. And I say that as the highest compliment. The day he retires from Kotaku is most likely the day I start drifting more fully to other sites.

You’re all missing the point.

Playing Devil’s advocate, my question would then be, “Does a creator owe anything to the heritage of the project”? Many of those up in arms seem to take exception that this writing agenda just doesn’t fit within the universe and previously established mythos. Is this a valid criticism or completely without merit and…

There is another aspect of the “cis-white-male” lead that begs discussion. No body is perfect, and you will create just bad characters with a poor story, or have some sloppy scenes. If this happens to the cis-white-male lead, really no one give a shit, but if it occurs to other, it opens up a door for people to…

Creativity can suffer from pushing any point or agenda to an extreme. However having a point to make does not neccesarily make any piece of writing better or worse. I think it all comes down to whether the story the writers are telling is a story that they want to tell. If a writer wants to talk about LGBT issues with…

I have an honest question for those here who consider themselves progressives. Is there a point where creativity suffers at the expense of content created solely to push forward a political/moral/social agenda? Or is there a commonly held belief that default cis-white-male IS it’s own agenda, and anything that…

There is a mass shooting, where 4 or more people are shot or killed, on AVERAGE, every single day

You are terrible at logic.

Oh for fuck’s sake, the whole point of this comic is obviously to challenge people. If you are arguing there are no people like this woman you are ignorant as snot. In fact she’s not even a very ‘aggressive’ stereotype, there are people like her ALL OVER the midwest and she is an incredibly accurate representation of…

The whole argument that they “don’t really sell stuff in Australia” is clearly invalidated by the fact that they have specific, higher prices for Australian customers.

And then they can face more legal fines and being barred from selling in Australia? EA would be fine with that.

Even the consumer protection laws are deadlier in ‘Straya

“It’s not consumer abuse.”

I wonder if you know how capitalism works?

You realise that companies have to obey the law where ever they trade, right? It’s part of the international trade agreements which governments sign together, and allow companies to operate as global companies which break into new markets and increases their overall profit.

“Do any of these super “consumer” protection people know how capitalism works?”

Say you bought one of those “games” that quite literally refuse to run for anyone, that constitutes a defective product.

Hahahahaha

Hi, welcome to being an early adopter in video gaming, or pretty much anything technology-related.

Can they be changed to Apache Attack Helicopters? If not then I’m not represented and am 110% triggered.
