He was considered a man among men, but strangely a terrible father.

Nerd. BONER.

The article already states why the analyst didn't put MS in the chart.

You didn't bother reading the article, did you?

Check out that list of words below the picture for a clue. ;)

This ought to be great news for Nintendo. They haven't had Doom since the N64.

So...you are a fanboy that wasn't purchasing a XB1, that watched an ad not intended for you and you were unaffected and then came to Kotaku to share your disappointment that an ad not aimed at you for a product you don't want was ineffective.

You should, I watched it as it on Crunchyroll as it was being aired in Japan, it's pretty darn good.

awesome.. added to the list of things to watch

They don't keep doing it though. If every release had the same bugs, the EXACT same, then they wouldn't be learning anything.

Not really. Because you're apologizing for the accident, not for getting into the car drinking.

I didn't miss the point. And also, your second analogy doesn't work either because - by the way it is worded - it was an act of purpose.

Being a battered partner and releasing a dodgy product are hardly two things which can be compared...

Issues like these are nothing new for Online game and MMO releases. At least they try to make it into a "heartfelt" one. Japanese companies tend to be very "personal" with their public apologies (like the security breach from Sony). Some even say sorry if the supply isn't enough for the market (which Iwata did from…

In this day and age, being ripped off, at least when it comes to videogames and when it comes to people with access to the Internet, is entirely your own fault. There is a wealth of…

If you do not feel that SE deserves your money because they apologise a lot (wtf?), then please, stop buying their games and go about your merry way to play the games you want to play.

They made a mistake, they fixed the mistake and apologised deeply, and then they made another, and had to apologise for that mistake…

"(...) apologies becomes cheap and not sincere"

I'm sorry, but what the hell are we going to do, slap them on the wrist?

And to answer that, personally, no, I don't. If anything, it's a breath of fresh air to see that a developer cares to apologise because the game did not work the way he intended. Even if he's…

If I'm getting ripped off playing XI then it's made me the happiest customer ever, they can keep ripping me off if they want, I won't be complaining.
