Nintendo Power was clever, stealth marketing. Even with ROMS and re-releases, the cost to compile them, never mind the 50 something strategy guides they put out over the years wouldn’t make them enough money to bother and none of the staff that helped pitch it, no matter write and put it together is still alive, or…

The Transformer toy fans can be EXTREMELY toxic, to the point of being a bad joke. So, any parents who want to share their love of the franchisee, be warned.

It can be both, but honestly, he’s trying to do triage because the people who gave him some of that 44 billion are likely not at all pleased with whatever plan he is cooking up to make sure they get their money back.

Honestly, they likely at one point -might- have been looking into that, but after Fla’s Gov went full Trump on them, as well as sicing his people on them? No way.

He hasn’t been the only one, just one of the most vocal. Had Game Pass not come along when it did, things could have got quite interesting. I still say that the One had a butt-load of features proposed that I wished had happened, because Sony and Nintendo would have adopted them over time. I mean look how long it took…

When the Xbox was first being pitched to Gates, they infamously informed him that it would be a loss leader for a long time to come, but their goal was to be the center piece in many people’s entertainment centers. Gates decided that he was willing to tolerate no more then 7 billion dollars loss wise from the Xbox…

It’s BK. That shit is getting lodged in your smaller intestine and is going to take at least two trips to Arbys to be flushed out. Or surgery.

Sony has had consoles dropping dead for ages. PS1, PS2 and PS3 and even PS4 wise. It was the worst during the PS1 days until the slim and so common during the PS2 days that my local game stores would not sell one without warning in detail to the customers that the $15 extra for a warranty would save them a lot of…

Point taken.

Niemann really needs a lawyer to speak to him about ‘Discovery’ before it’s too late, because he’s going to get his entire ass caved in by whoever Chess.com hires by themselves. They didn’t ban him for shits and giggles, they got receipts and then some.

Greed makes you stupid and careless, full stop.

As a Vita and before that a PSP owner who also invested in Nintendo portables over the years, the Vita very much felt like something Sony did to get investors off of it’s back. From day -1-, they really never got serious about it to the point where Monster Hunter ended up going to the Wii, the Wii U and then the 3DS…

He may be this gen’s Fred Rogers if he keeps going.

‘Remember when Kotaku was XYZ?’ is just ‘Remember when 4chan was good? ’ in another outfit. I’ve spoken on it in the past but Denton is gone, the star commenter system is long gone and pining after it is pointless. You are ether here until they turn the lights off or you are here to troll at this point.

Remember who’s speaking. Kayne could drop a turd in the middle of 5th ave and would spin it as one of the best things ever.

Extremely doubtful they will. While they aren’t SE, looking for Fortnite money (Okay they likely are), Disney still largely doesn’t care much for the costs of game development. The ‘best’ games featuring Disney characters have all been done by licensing the characters out with a rule list. That way it’s risk free…

Oh it’s a huge issue. Viagra and it’s ilk, along with old guys getting testosterone treatments have done nothing but make the problem worse. You can’t really defend yourself, because if you injure or fatally injure the person, word will get out and you won’t be able to get a job anywhere within the field.

Homeboy is goalpost moving troll.

Konami...not likely. Remember that Konami has stepped away from non-gambling games at large and while they do sometimes do stuff with their stable of IP, it’s usually low-budget and low risk. The IP, while well known isn’t worth the price it would require to buy them wholesale.

And that she’s stupid enough to say things that would get her shitcanned while completely forgetting her body cam is active and recording. Not that there’s any shortage of stupid cops, but if she doesn’t have enough wits to realize, “Hey, someone may be reviewing my footage, maybe I should keep the racial slurs and…
