What entanglements?  Torrenting isn’t illegal.  They’re releasing the Alpha build of the game.   It wont update automatically. So the devs aren’t having the whole game torrented.  

It was a free demo test on Steam. This doesn’t make them less money.

Torrenting isn’t just for piracy wtf are you on about. 

Pretty much every Shrek movie and spin off

Alright, hear me out: we can start similar, the Mario brothers are real plumbers in New York, they get sucked into a parallel dimension to rescue the princess, all that. But, you can’t just do things by the numbers, you have to mix it up a little. Just having the world be made up of disconnected floating blocks with…

Children deserve good movies, too.

I think people were expecting Shrek or the recent Puss in Boots. A movie that kids could enjoy and adults could as well. Not a movie explicitly for kids and not really anyone else. 

The amount of creativity present in the "indie" space is exciting and really makes me wonder why anyone would waste money on a AAA game like GoW:R, Halo Infinite or FF16.

Pointing to FF7 as the start of that even in video games is odd. 

“Games like FFVII recontextualized the skirt as feminine clothing item not only for women to wear, but to be sexualized in.”

This strikes me as an odd blanket statement. Skirts have been sexualized for far longer than their appearance in videogames, and their usage in games is reflective of their usage in reality…

Before you watch the Hollywood adaptation, take a look at Gaming Historian’s excellent doc on the fascinating history of Tetris.

Anyone got the actual list?  Because I ain’t paying for this.  Too many stupid articles and opinions hidden behind paywalls now.

First, I think it is a valid thing to note the difference between various styles of gameplay. There’s major structural, stylistic, mechanical and other differences between, say, Final Fantasy 7 and Baldur’s Gate, to the point where only calling them both “RPGs” feels overly broad.

JRPG always denoted a style of game to me, not an RPG made in Japan. I don’t consider Dragon’s Dogma or Dark Souls JRPGs. But I do consider Chained Echoes a JRPG, even though it was developed by someone from Germany. 

As the developer themselves said, “this is false and was never said in the official statement”. This article is worse than an completely uneducated tweet by a complete random..

Thats completely false. Digital Foundry did a comparison and the Series S performs WAY BETTER than the One X. It turns out architecture differences make a hell of a difference.

I was often harassed online for using AI tools...

Okay, gay man here. Gotta say a few things...
