If the Switch has taught me anything, it’s that I wish it wasn’t portable and instead a better machine. So many fun games on the console but almost all of them suffer from poor frames or compromised visual fidelity.

I’m glad somebody gets it. Too bad it’s not the guy writing for a gaming blog.

Considering it will only return you to where you last used the amiibo, this seems a minor convenience at best. The article seems to imply it's basically effective fast travel anywhere and it's really not. 

“where one executive issues an impassioned selfishly motivated plea for marketplace reform more profits for EPIC, which is beholding to Apple to get onto an app store so they can bleed kids’ parents for money on questionable products that are called gambling in countries outside of the USA, fine-tuned to exploit…

That’s a good question, but so far, nobody has actually tried to offer a better product. Valve has been constantly investing in and improving Steam, offering a wide variety of features. Some of them (like library management) still need more work, but nobody has managed to offer anything better yet. Between the Linux…

Worse than it sounds.  The money sunk here reinforces releasing well advertised and marketed shit games that will receive no future support.  Since they’re being paid on perceived purchases rather than customer retention, it’s in the publisher’s best interests to get word out about some awesome game regardless of its…

Yeah, they did have competition, brick and mortar stores, which were the standard at the time. That’s a high barrier to getting started. Fortnite is still one of the most popular games out there, requiring access to the Epic Store alone would have gotten them a starting audience. Spending a billion dollars on…

Restricting games to singular storefronts on PC does not benefit the consumer.

I am still boycotting EPIC, because of the data breach fiascos regarding their unreal engine accounts, and it seemingly didn’t get any better with their store.
Also, as many people have said, there’s no infrastructure connected.
Microsoft also has a bad storefront, but when I can play Sea of Thieves from my PC together…

How did consumers benefit from Epic purchasing exclusives? The prices weren’t any lower, and it certainly wasn’t a better launcher. Heck, larger devs didn’t even benefit; that exclusive cash went straight to their publishers.

Imagine if they had spent a billion to pay their engineers and designers and the rest of the workforce to make a better storefront than the bare bones turd it is now.

So literally no-one benefited from their aggressive exclusive acquisitions (except, I suppose, devs whose games might not have otherwise made as much).

How’s this for a Game Over?

“promoting a so-called “pornhub casino” with topless female dealers”

Woke: Devs, don’t make games about minority identities you can’t personally speak to, as that is appropriation and you’ll likely screw it up.

One of your allies, in an attempt to silence her, gives the order to have her shot.

So to use a separate example.... the Comics Code Authority. Self-Imposed by the industry following the publication of a psychiatrist’s book. Devastated the comic book industry by forcing publishers to stop making horror stories, never letting the bad guys win, so on and so forth. Tried (and almost succeeded) to block…

People constantly conflate the first amendment with censorship believing that it’s ONLY censorship if the government is involved. This is incorrect, but it’s a depressingly widespread belief.

Ah, yes. I forgot about that one. I should have said: “Nintendo hasn’t released a good Metroid game in over a decade.”

You go to any swimming pool in the country and you’ll see women in bikinis. Children will be there and will be able to see women in bikinis. This is simply what the swimming pool is. Same with hot tubs, there just aren’t as many hot tubs as there are swimming pools.
