That's actually a more valid point that I can't make the same broad blanket statements for. It's difficult to judge, I don't think it's fair to say that it's always okay or always wrong. Is this dev waiting to be able to localize? Was it available already in English? I think Google Play is available in China, but…

OH MY GOD, YOU MEAN PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY BEING FORCED TO PAY FOR THE THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE WORK HARD TO MAKE?! So I guess looking at this from the other side, developers are being bullied into making games for people. Is this actually how entitled you are? You just want things for free? Do you feel bullied when…

Bullied into paying? Are you suggesting that players are being extorted, or even forced to play these games? Humble bundle rarely has games that haven't made their money back or are past the point that making it back is reasonable and Kickstarter has minimum donations to get a copy of the game (which is almost…

That is a valid question: If they played it. And the article discusses how a good portion of those downloads may have not been trying to target the game at all (but the song). Still, the issue is just "If you have the disk space..." Why would people support it if they have the disk space?

Right, and if this story were "Game Made, 144 People Buy It" I'd be right on the same page, but this is about the people who didn't pay. 5 dollars really isn't a lot to ask for this game (I just bought the thing and have been getting a real kick out of it) but people have the absolute right to disagree with me by…

And yet we have this. People clearly want to play it (50k downloads) and no one buys it. I actually bought it after reading this article (the trailer made it look good) and it's fantastic! Worth the measly 5 dollar asking price.

I think part of that comes from the fact that the indie scene is much more exposed in video games. Most big name developers run on fixed costs, indies have much tighter bottom lines to meet, whereas indie developers (similar to artists, musicians, independent film makers) have to do their own marketing, and negotiate…

If I may make a slight change to your first sentence (hopefully without putting words in your mouth):

The new rendering engine is sort of a deal killer for me. It isn't cell shaded at all, it's just a bunch of assets (models and textures) that want so badly to be cell shaded, but aren't. Soft shadows, low contrast; it's much more detailed, and impressive power-wise, for sure, but lacks the aesthetic wonder that the…

Actually that's one of the things not spoiled in this video!

From the article:
"That said, like online, the console will still function if Kinect isn’t plugged in, although you won’t be able to use any feature or experience that explicitly uses the sensor,"

Unfortunately APNGs aren't a real standard, yet. They're an extension to the PNG format that IS backwards compatible, but because of their unofficial status have sparse support.

Except these pipes can't be used with normal tobacco. I honestly have no idea if that has any legal importance, but it's worth noting.

What a nice man

If I toss my phone out of a plane, and it hits terminal velocity, can the app interpret that as still falling? I mean, the accelerometers would technically be reading not-freefall, anymore, right?

Oh

Well, that's something that I guess would have to be argued on a case by case basis; this is what (as you pointed out) I feel is the most damaging part. It simultaneously under powers women, and demonizes the sexuality of men.

See, I'd say the larger problem isn't that women are sexualized, it's that largely they're only sexualized. There are absolutely (as you've pointed out) plenty of equivalent male sexualizations, the issue is that young girls have little in way of fictional role models whose most immediate feature isn't their…

Is that Lemmings?

Noobs, all of you are noobs...
