Not to mention it’s deliberately done to confuse players to the point they don’t know the actual worth of the thing they are buying (with the standard practices of “if you buy 200 dollars worth of this nonsense, we give you 50% extra nonsense!”) and in my experience, you will always have leftovers after buying in-game…

Kinda surprised that Tower Defense + FPS didn’t immediately conjure 2011's Sanctum? Gross looks good tho

Yeah. I’m not sure what Activision would look like if this merger fails, but I can’t imagine it would be good. I expect layoffs immediately, for starters.

Yeah, it seems an odd industry to finally decide to grow a spine for.

Disney’s next CEO... Conan O’Brien!

Chapek drew a lot of criticism for his handling of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. He also shut down what were considered complementary services at Walt Disney World, like the Magical Express and free MagicBands. I can’t say how much of this is valid, but people associate Chapek with rising prices and declining quality…

Living well is the best revenge.

Tell me you don’t understand the effects of drugs without saying, “I do not understand how drugs affect humans.”

I hit that point about 10 years ago, after so many humble bundles and 80% off steam sales left me with dozens of games I’d *like* to play someday but never actually do.

He can’t keep getting away with it

Musk is not nearly as smart as his PR campaign wants people to think. He was born into money and simply glommed onto several companies after they had created products. He’s never actually made anything - he just bought himself proximity to those that have. As such, I would argue that this image he has crafted for…

Don’t forget to set up an alternate login if you use Twitter to access Kinja or any other accounts!

My suspicion is there isn’t one. The whole thing has a very impulsive, off-the-cuff feel to it, from the initial offer to retracting it to abruptly giving up on retracting it when it was clear it would be a legal pain in the ass. Every move he’s made and instantly cancelled fell through because of very predictable…

Or he could by G/O Media Inc. and tear down this shitty slideshow.

Sucks for the Chinese players who will lose access to the games, but otherwise...awesome. Fuck working with the CCP and screw a lot of the behavior and decisions by ATVI. China makes up a tiny part of their overall revenue (3% for the company, and apparently around 10% for Blizzard), but after shit like the…

Someone must’ve mentioned Hong Kong again.

Blizz certainly has its share of jerks, but let’s not pretend like the way China operates and forces ‘partnerships’ leaves them blameless.

It’s not about her playing video games. Video games are played by what, somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of the country? Something tells me that there are multiple members of the US Congress that play video games.

Seems like these lists should focus on exclusives, shouldn’t they? I can play Fortnight on any platform under the sun right now, and I’m pretty sure I’ll even be able to on my toaster in the near future, so what makes it one of the best games -for PS4- as opposed to just an excellent game available right now on any…
