As much as I love Blizzard’s IPs even up through Overwatch, I still can’t get over the whole kowtowing to China’s fascist claims to Hong Kong thing.

The “Death Game” genre seems to be having a moment lately. Netflix keeps spotlighting an Alice in Borderland show, and I think someone just announced a High Rise Invasion one too.

Yeah, but North Carolina has people. It’s way easier to cater to special interest groups when the entire constituency of your district is seven donkeys and a retired couple.

Can’t win at the contract negotiation table, so they are trying to P2W a law into existence so they can have their cake and eat it too.

Is it common for lobbyists to GIVE legislation to politicians? Like rather than politicians write it themselves and their team? That seems sketchy af.

Ah yes, the fine, tech-savvy state of North Dakota. (edit: originally had North Carolina, which admittedly would hold way more water than a flyover state) How much do you think Epic had to pay to grease some palms to get this one on the floor? Five bucks and gift certificate for a free child sized cone from Dairy…

Apple and Google mobile devices aren’t the only places you can play Fortnite. There are so many other places to play these games. I really don’t understand the anti-competitive argument when you can easily play the game on literally anything else.

Android already allows sideloading and alternate storefronts though. This is blatantly just about payment systems.

Man Epic really is having a hard time taking responsibility for breaking the TOS. Let’s say this does pass though, I can see Apple etc just charging a large upfront fee or even a yearly hosting fee.

They were claiming and “advertising” 2,000 dollar checks after the 600 had already been sent out. I hear a lot of people claiming this but the timeline doesn’t line up.

I couldn’t stand Trump and I’m not expecting hard hitting political journalist from Kotaku, so nothing against this article or anything. (I know it’s just in good fun) But this is such a great example of what the next 4 years in the media is going to look like for Biden.

White collar jobs really be like that :(

Oh, who did open heart surgery first?

Excellent. This is their best adventure game - it’s well written and really clever, managing to hit a lot of emotional beats as the game goes on.

I have several friends who hate borderlands who really love this game.

Supposed to be writing a book, but I guess I’m writing this instead. The problem with Mass Effect 3 was never the ending; it was how none of your choices in previous games mattered, at ALL. Mass Effect and ME2 showed you multiple options for different situations, with the implications of different outcomes. Mass…

Most of what I read where people made actual arguments is that the Mass Effect series spent three games worth of narratives carrying the effects from your decisions and making it feel like what you did had a real bearing in what was happening, and railroaded you into really narrow sets of circumstances that…

This smells like a case of not reading labels

The only result of the exclusivity deals I can attest to is my complete lack of interest in the platform.
