Yeah i will, because I know the difference between a work of fiction and reality. Scary there are those that don’t.

People pull the ESRB card out as some excuse and completely ignore the fact there are plenty of games that do worse and don’t go up ratings, etc.

Actually its the opposite, people are trying to change the definition of censorship to fit to some weird narrative that you need government involvement. That is completely incorrect, that is just the only ILLEGAL form of censorship. There are tons of other types of censoring, including self censorship.

They replaced the native american outfit with a cowboy one too... talk about adding insult to injury. Now instead of native american representation, we get the representation of those that drove them away

Its an anime character, age is really irrelevant. They have “13-16” year olds that look like adults and/or have double Ds and 21~1000 year olds that look like children.

Could they not get a picture of a real woman holding a controller that they had to lazily Photoshop one? I mean that kinda hurts their point they were trying to make in this article i would think :)

“Women play games” Okay as a woman gamer myself, why did we need what appears to be a male to write this article to tell us that? There are women who work at kotaco right? Why not give them the honor?

“A” is funny, because thats usually the case of those who believe in the wage gap

The man says hes egalitarian (ie interested in true equality, not the fake stuff that gets pandered) and not a fan of the crazy cult like ideology radical feminism.

What a shocker. Most normal people are the same

The ones who will not pay, ever, are not lost sales. They would of NEVER paid. They are simply irreverent.
The ones who WOULD of paid if they could try out the game, but now can’t, is a lost sale. If they only buy games after they try them, then they will not buy this game.
The ones who WOULD of paid, if they didn’t…

Piracy has existed on computers since the dawn of computers... and currently the PC market is healthier than its ever been. To suggest piracy would kill the industry is laughable.

False. Sega’s bad business practices had them red for years. They couldn’t afford to keep bleeding money into their hardware, and the PS2's unfortunate success spelled doom for them early on.

But heres the thing: the same people that wont bother with technical things to care about DRM... are the same people that wouldn’t bother to get into the technical details about pirating either. So whats the point? Intrusive 3rd party DRM is useless and only serves to piss those in the know off, and doesn’t do…

They certainly lost my sale.

45 games released, 14 more announced most coming out 2017, and they release 2-3 a month, with 4 being released last month: Harvest Moon, Eternal Ring, RE:CVX, and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, a well covered & celebrated release.

What the heck are you talking about?

What a bunch of BS you are spouting. What if I just didn’t have the damn money the month it came out and bought it freaking later? How is that “hurting” them? Not everybody buys a game the moment it comes out. What if it has bad reviews and i wait for the price to go down? Do none of the sales after that magic window…

I mean.. did they? They are actively releasing PS2 HD Classics or whatever on PS4 as we speak. That probably costs more than just porting the emulator they already made for PS1 theyve been using on PS3/Vita/PSP for PSOne Classics, or the emulator they are using on PS3 for PS2 Classics.
