I looked for your tweet about RSG as I’m interested in seeing what the reddit community is upset about and couldn’t find it. Within the Warcraft community he is a reliable source of information and news.

If Blizzard has changed their tone on announcements after Titan they are really out of touch with what made…

Yeah but, the game isn’t going to be a separate charge so Blizzard has no interest in that argument. Regardless if people play Vanilla or not if you sub to wow you get it. So this really is a win win for Blizzard. For those who already play wow, it’s a way of keeping the subscription. For those who don’t play wow it’s…

There was a time when Blizzard announced titles and then canceled them later on. Fans were not mad they were canceled, they just dreamed about what if and trusted that the company would only release quality content.

So many things could have been handled better with this.

The game could have been announced in the…

Oh you know, openly mock your customer base, get promoted to President of the company.

“But, of course, there’s also the elephant-sized lord of darkness and torment in the room: People thought they were going to see Diablo IV.”

No, people didn’t think that...Blizzard specifically said we weren’t going to see that. What we thought we were going to get was a major headliner announcement like rerelease of…

Not sure why, they would want this content to come out during the content drought of wow to keep up sub numbers. Expansions come out roughly every 2 which would make sometime in 2020 when the next expansion would be.
Mid to late 2019 will be right about the time the last patch launches for BFA so it’s a good time.

“I replied to one person that the workers didn’t really have any other options—they’re in the business of convenience, so their strike will, as a necessity, be inconvenient to hotel guests. “

Yes, but this is not how you win a strike. You want the public opinion ON your side. If your strike inconveniences people…

Puts out PS1 classic, doesn’t include classic dual shock controller. Good Guy Sony

“This stands in contrast to games like Spider-Man 2, where Spider-Man returned as many lost balloons as he webbed up muggers. Instead of being part of the complex life of the city, this latest Spider-Man sees a black-and-white world of cops and robbers.”

This is because while Spiderman 2 had good things about it,…

True, known the guy for years Deadpool has led to him really improving his life. Great to see him as the center piece!

“Man, why did I waste two weeks questing through boring green hills for the Alliance”

Yes but Watchdogs AND Witcher 3 were major downgrades and the games were available on PC where players expected the ability for the game to look like the trailer in the future.

That turned out to not be the case, Watchdogs never really got close and Witcher while it was an amazing game and was beautiful did not have…

All, y’all out here arguing about an acronym. I just called it the Nintendo.

The way I see the scene is he realizes that he wishes to fight for the average guy. They are not at fault for the actions of their leader. Leaving them to deal with her punishment is not honorable and he’s doing what he can to keep them alive. His life has constantly been surrounded by actions he regrets and he has…

Fahey, you are the reason I’ve stuck around on Kotaku so long. I’m glad to hear you’re back at it and keeping such a positive attitude. I look forward to either working with you or ganking you in wow good sir.

To summarize what I think actually is happening in this case.

Something I was attempting to point out but didn’t go into enough detail on was not that people necessarily get upset, rather they don’t see the user online to resubscribe with their prime membership. Every streamer probably has their own metrics on this but in general a very small % of viewers go directly to their…

I’m going to give a “Yes...but” response here...

What your analogy is missing is the cost factor. People pay money to subscribe to individuals on Twitch, and if they do not they use their Amazom Prime membership to subscribe for “free” (one free membership per month)

Prime subs were a massive change to the way Twitch…

The ONLY time I have thought a game should run at a specific frame rate is LA Noire, and that’s only because of the technical hurdle of how they captured the actor performances. Had they been able to capture the performances at a higher frame rate it would have been a better experience.

Last night I found a crew on an island away from their ship. I parked my ship in the exact same position, took their ship, then teleported back to my ship. I wondered if they thought I was speed hacking or something. They didnt seem to understand what happened and how I kept coming back to the ship that they thought…
