I would agree IF the article wasn't so laser-focused on a specific pairing that comes off as a bitter fan ship.

“Does every male and female who have a close bond need to be in a relationship?”

This is 100% the correct response. Maybe its a generational thing , but I kind of feel like someone needs to remand the internet that two guys or girls can be close without it being a sexual relationship . That “every character is automatically at least Bi” attitude around shipping is pretty insulting , especially for…

I get where you are coming from. But implying that 2 dudes being friendly with each other should be gay also diminishes that 2 dudes can also be open with each other and trust each other in a way that isn’t “toxic masculinity”. What I mean to say is they are best friends who care about each other. Atlus definitely…

Whoa whoa, this is too mature and reasonable of a take for Kotaku. Dial it down buddy!

Why is it necessary? why force it? I am a gay man I do not need every game or media to have a character that represents me, even less when is done JUST to include it without real heart or purpose. I never saw any of them as being gay, and never had the illusion of them being gay, they do not have a gay story, so why…

But now it works in a presumption of guilt paradigm, where every one can claim anything without any proof and you instantly become an…

As a prior victim of DMCA takedown abuse on YouTube, I thought we had it bad. But if any Joe Schmoe can use it to yoink entire games off storefronts too, then that’s absolutely fucking broken and a nightmare for game devs.

DMCA is way too broad and easily abused.

Dude, he just wrote the article, don’t shoot the messenger.

Egotistical prick.

There actually was a sequel called Dead Island Riptide. This is technically the third game

Valve doesn’t make exclusivity deals. If a third-party developer or publisher chooses to make a game exclusive to Steam, it has nothing to do with Valve, unlike Epic which spends millions on timed exclusivity deals.

I grow more confused by the gaming community with each passing day

There was crafting. A lot of crafting.

I think a voice actor trying to screw kids is justifiable outrage. I don’t know what a fujoshi is.

What is true: All of the screenshots of the chat logs. Yes, all of the cringy sex talk. Yes, I did threaten suicide if it got out.

Ita because they haven't spent enough to get the good cards.
