Really hoping Diablo 4 is good. I liked Diablo 3 from launch, and although they made it significantly better over time, I’d really prefer a smoother start this time around. Diablo 3 was, to me, really good and a big time sink, but it never hit that great level that D2 or D1 did. 

Mate, project in development NDA is basic thing you need to adhere in this kind of business. “it will only hurt their marketing”, when their business is creating content, leaking the said content is serious thing. Don’t undermine it.

I am completely fine with this. Break an NDA? Pay up. Simple as that.

It’s the same thing as always, they don’t get that the platform isn’t the people and the people aren’t the platform.

waaaaaaait a sec, is voting with one’s wallet working?

They most certainly have that right.

Apparently you haven’t played a lot of FPS.

GAMES THAT ARE ACTUALLY BAD: BioShock Infinite

Oh...Good...because we can never have enough launchers. Can’t wait for the day I have to enter my email and password several times to use my toaster.

I … I don’t understand...
- dude makes anti-Semitic jokes
- dude gets shit for it, rightfully
- dude says he’s going to donate to ADL as a way to take responsibility
- some idiots on the internet don’t like this
- he decides not to donate to them, as a way to... take responsibility??

I feel like I’m missing a piece of logic…

I think I only got through three or four nights in the original.  The characters just were so deeply unlikable that I just didn’t feel like spending any more time with them.

“Who the hell is Terry?” thousands of Super Smash Bros. fans all asked, in unison, just one moment ago.

While I support their decision to do what makes sense for their company, especially financially, it felt like their counterarguments were mixed between easy lob shots and fraught fallacies:

Your Highness Qiaobiluo ended up getting an outpouring of support after the incident, racking up well over half a million followers and becoming the most-searched streamer on DouYu.

Yeah, I do watch, and occasionally stream too and that’s exactly what I’d suggest unless she’s being intentionally controversial..

It *can* be tender and intimate, but it is also often a painful, messy, frustrating, utilitarian endeavor that has to happen whether Mom feels up to it or not.

Unsurprisingly the top comment and general theme here is “censorship: bad,” rather than “empathy: good.”

They're making changes out of respect, not censorship. Not every edit is a "censor." People use the word too much.

With zero microtransactions and no pay-to-win high-end unlockables.

It’s also a way to keep out the riff-raff with montly fee. I’m sill on FFXI, Bahamut server if anyone is on, I have lvl 99 White Mage with Scholar sub-job.
