If, as the screenshot caption states, they’re using character directly from Dota 2, name, looks, and all, which valve developed, then that is stuff valve owns. If they were pulling from Dota 1 only then I’d say that would sorta be fair game in regards to Valve, Blizzard on the other hand would probably want to have a…

Free with no strings attached? That’s awfully generous. I’m guessing Microsoft is prepping a sequel revival and want people to get into the series.

“If you’re looking to compete in this year’s Hearthstone Spring Playoffs, you might have to throw down in a loud room that smells like honey barbecue sauce.”

Well, possibly. They could also draw Chipotle, a local pub, or a Home Depot. RNG is crazy this season.

Amusingly, it’s ended up being a godawful thing for Destiny on Playstation because it makes the exclusive content either almost worthless for progression (for maps) or impossible to acquire (for gear) because it won’t show up in any of the regular content rotations (vendors, dailies, weeklies, multiplayer events etc).

Destiny’s PS exclusives are next level bullshit. At least with normal timed DLC you get everything once it releases.

Destiny is particularly terrible, as by the time the content comes out, it’s irrelevant and out of rotation.

Timed exclusive DLC is dumb. It was dumb when Microsoft started it, and it’s even worse now that Sony has taken it to a ridiculous level (looking at you Destiny).

The problem with this system, of course, is that it risks burying a handful of good games, as well. To combat this issue, Valve is going to introduce a program called Steam Explorers. Explorers will play through queues of games that haven’t been selling super well. If they dig a game, they can flag it. The more…

Hmm. In my state it seems to be Sombra...

Whoa whoa whoa. Your rationale, calm response has no place in today’s news cycle. Get outraged!

when xbox ones hit the $150 price point i got one for my best friend for the holidays with a copy halo 5. kind of an attempt to get a lapsed gamer back into the habit, but also to recapture some of that glorious 2000's magic. anyway we’ve literally played it twice, and now my xbox gold is lapsed. what a waste of cash.

That is some real ‘logic’ you have there. Back to the greys with you, troll.

Feel free to contact me when you’ve done anything impressive.

The vast majority of Pewdiepie’s fans are children. And children are stupid. They’re not emotionally mature enough to fully grasp nuance or context. They see Jacksepticeye criticizing his actions while also voicing support, and all they understand is “Jacksepticeye talked shit about Pewdiepie.” They can’t see how…

I don’t think Overwatch is supposed to be a “casual” game. They’ve dedicated a lot of resources to creating an esports scene and reward players who place highly on ladder. While it can be a casual shooter for many, balancing a competitive environment is clearly also a priority for them. Also, nerfing a character that…

I presume you stopped reading the article at that point, as it goes on to explain specifically why it did not stop. Basically, the human is the boss, and they may override anything with their decisions. This would be useful in a situation where you were, say, faced with a glass store front while an out-of-control…

Gabe should run for President. Seems right up his alley considering the terms stop at 2.
