“Though I can’t begrudge anyone for wanting to hang onto Wordle 1.0. Now a whole new audience can ride the live service game roller coaster.”

God bless Tim Rogers. May he continue to avoid his inevitable overwork-based demise for another 40+ years.

Lick those boots

Great article on them! I used to watch every video they put out but gradually I moved away from them. It just doesn’t work for me anymore, but I wish them all the best in skewering the games industry.

Two days ago I finally gave in and played wordle for the first time. My very first guess was correct. I was kinda left feeling “this is it?”

Nevermind me, I’m just dusting off Sweet Business and Actium War Rig for no reason at all.

My understanding is it's been less "milking the same cow" and more "our KS campaign was successful beyond our wildest dreams so we added a bunch of stretch goals that unexpectedly took years to work through".

Having access to healing options outside of mid tree solar is nice.  You could run bleak watcher stasis, with boots of the assembler and the glaive for heals.

They did mention that they were keen to design more synergies like that.  Imagine a thrallway of chaining explosions.

I am looking forward to seeing the summon warlock build with two stasis turrets and a healing turret.

It’s like, these fucking people....do they think workers are unionising for fun? For a laugh? The history of unionisation is that it comes about when conditions for workers SUCK SO BADLY that they feel they have no other choice.

Sony’s reality distortion field has historically been pretty epic, and I would not take anything they say on face value.

Man AAA development is in a concerning state

I hope people never stop sharing this. 

Incredibly sorry to see you go Ren, but best of luck on Beto O’Rourke’s 2022 Governor’s race. 

Hahahahahahaha this place is on fire. Yall got a SINGLE new writer who felt like they were of the old Kotaku and they left in 6 months. Jeeeeeeeeesus. I have to cobble together my “Actual Kotaku” experience through Tim’s videos, Jason Schreier’s artificially lower word count posts on Bloomberg, Heather I think slowly…

Congrats on getting out, haha. Good luck wherever’s next. If you made a bad post, I don’t recall!

its an eternity of dares of eternity (this is like the last thing i’m grinding for)

From the softball questions to the bizarre YT videos to the contempt from the ubisoft exec, this is truly dystopian levels of coverage, im almost impressed
