“Theirs” you mean. Their privilege is showing, not mine. Also, it’s not a social problem, it’s a design problem, an engineering problem, which are both also problems, despite anything you say.

I think I’m sorta on the side of the bad hot take. Or I can at least see the reasoning.

What other pieces of media can someone simply stream themselves enjoying without paying a license. If people are really there to see the streamer, then just don’t let streamers have the game feed as more than 80% of the screen or…

You’re saying “bold strategy” sarcastically here, but if we look at examples like the McRib or like say.. Mario 3D All Stars.. then it’s apparently a strategy that works shockingly well.

Look...Ian...I mean this in the nicest way possible, and I say this as a fellow progressive who has tried to get people to vote for Bernie twice in a row, and this isn’t directed at you specifically but at the group you are currently representing with this article...but please, shut the fuck up.

Ian really sounds like a Kremlin agent in this article.

Bernie’s would be better and offer free fruit!

Yeah.. I understand this isn’t as progressive as many on the left would prefer, but to say it’s “very little substance” is just a gross misuse of that phrase — it’s incredibly substantial, with concrete policy goals and figures.

All this commentary about not being the other guy is a bit off.

Oh, for... This is a ridiculous article.

The Biden campaign made a cheery and silly Animal Crossing island. It’s neat. It will change few minds (and it shouldn’t) but it’s a nice, silly diversion.

I’m sorry you’re tired (we all are, because Holy Shit this administration) but this whole article is like a festival of…

“Much like Biden’s presidential platform, there’s very little substance here”

Some of the interned men volunteered to serve. That’s why Miyagi’s wife died in a camp during childbirth while he was fighting overseas. It’s a real bummer all around.

Why not both?

You’re blaming Kotaku for the omnipresent cheater problem? Are you brain damaged or just naturally stupid?

Foot soldier lickspittle for a low-level troll is so underwhelimg as a social status that it shatters the mind that some (too many actually) would do it willingly and with aplomb....

True, and say what you want about religious/political figures, but at least there’s something there to follow. Most streamers bring absolutely nothing to the table except being smug and dismissive losers who are only funny to 11 year olds. Anytime I try out a big name streamer I’m left dumbfounded. The idea of…

I’ll never understand these Twitch lemmings who are so willing to do all this shit because their favorite streamer - who couldn’t give less of as shit about them - gets into a spat with other streamers.

BOTW doled weapons out like candy though. They weren’t equipment so much as consumables.

Car passengers: “Go fuck yourself!”

We need to change the conversation on Tom Nook to one of celebration.
In every game, this man(raccoon) gives you a home FOR FREE. All he asks is that you pay him back for it if you want an even better home. Even if you view this as a loan, it’s a zero percent interest, zero penalty loan. He never mentions it again…

Well the article would be better with this context added to it. Thanks for the clarification
