Why the fuck are you relitigating this issue? Even if you think it wasn’t murder, this game which the article is about is abhorrent. If you are on the left as you sorta claim to be (using we when referring to leftists) even if you thought putting him in prison would be a miscarriage of justice why would you devote…

If you think Kotaku is a left wing echo chamber, why are you on here fighting it? Seems like a huge waste of time, you aren’t going to win, and you’re not going to convince anyone besides yourself and maybe some random hate readers. 

I disagree with a few things you said but that doesn't matter, you gave tim heideckers trial a shout out, that was awesome.

To be fair, there are a lot less re used assets in call of duty year to year than those games, and call of duty re used a LOT of assets.

You just keep so many crypto talking points about emerging technologies I don’t really want to engage in it. Certain technologies catch on, others don't and others keep coming back from the dead like AR and VR. This is looking a lot like Facebooks version of Google glasses, they sold more and more every year until…

Woah, I seriously doubt many of us own both the PS5 and series x, that’s likely to cost at least 1.5k given the scarcity of the PS5 and it’s mostly redundant, I don’t even think many of the writers have both.

Dude, did you read the article or even the headline? VR is not increasing in popularity, or at least not as much as Facebook would like when they spent billions trying to increase its popularity (cause it wasn’t doing this on its own).

Poor Chris Pratt can't catch any breaks.

Well don’t get me wrong, I would never advocate that a game has difficulty sliders to remove them, or that more games should come out without them. I’m just saying to let me enjoy games that don’t have difficulty sliders.

I assume you are being sarcastic with your first remark and you are actually taking a hardline stance against censorship.

I totally get where you are coming from but I personally find lowering the difficulty to be more of a nagging temptation than changing up my build in an rpg. You are totally right that ideally most everyone should be able to get through the main story in a vidya game. I think an underutilized and ideal solution is to…

“if you just used the OP thing, you wouldn’t have to deal with any of this.”

Who said anything about player responsibility?

Its entirety possible they are putting it somewhere else but they don’t want to tell anyone about it, after all they didn’t announce the gun was in the game in the first place.

Its funny and annoying that people say ‘but why tho?’ in response to this when in actuality they have no interest in the answer to that question, they just want to whine that something they liked is being taken away. Credit to the couple of comments that have actually tried to explain that.

What evidence do you have that gamers are getting older in general? Obviously everyone gets older over time but how do you know older gamers aren't getting replaced by younger ones? Even in your anecdotal you noted you have less time to play because of your age. The less time you spend playing the less important of a…

You said the pedo thing, yes you took it back but if you didn’t want to get repeatedly called out for it you shouldn’t have said it in the first place. It does entirely kill your credibility regardless.

I feel ya on the restrictions burnout and no one should be able to shame you on your behavior if you’re boosted, if everyone followed suit there wouldn’t need to be any restrictions.

Nancy Pelosi said as much herself when asked about COVID relief in a press conference.

Pure bragging rights doesn't put food on the table.
