I’ve seen people put Confederate flags in their windows. If that’s free speech, robots are free speech.

I’d rather see Slytherin be redeemed than abolished. There’s some interesting things to examine there that I think would be more powerful than just getting rid of it. 

This seems like an Onion headline.

It’s disappointing that she couldn’t come to this conclusion without ‘finding Jesus’ and becoming a different type of cliché...

I get why companies prefer to just do their own thing now, but E3's demise does make me a bit sad. 

Maybe next time leave out the part where you could get the government to block the acquisition? Just stick to the “we can help convince them” half of that. Seriously what kind of moron approaches their business partner that way? If I was Acti-Blizz I’d take it as a threat to, you just explicitly laid out the idea that…

“And I know a lot about obvious disappointing behavior for almost 30 years!”

For sure.

This just makes the shitshow that followed the accusations even more embarrassing for all the internet commenters involved.

Hopefully he’ll get back on his feet and work on RPGs again. He’s too talented to remain in the freezer.

I mean we did take these women at their word. It turned out to be false now a person who at one time was loved by the video game community has been labeled a “creep” and a possible liability if hired.

I quite liked this summary of the story on the Eurogamer article which was written rather poorly, shame the sources got cut by the comment’s automod.

Cases like these are hard to look at subjectively because you want to believe victims when they come forward, but you also want to prevent false accusations. I am not sure in this case which is true now.. they stated he did it, lost, and now state he didn’t do it. The thing that bothers me the most about this, is once…

Definitely, but as someone who grew up with E3 being such a huge deal for games and gaming news, it’s kinda sad for the institution to die. I remember when I was a teenager in the early 2000s, I wanted nothing more than to be able to go to E3 and play the pre-release versions of these games and get to see all the…

According to the US government, no. The FTC brought this designation on itself, as it’s the basis for the FTC’s lawsuit to stop the MS buyout of Activision. They literally needed to cut out everything but Sony and MS to drive MS up to #2 in a market in order to go “We can’t have #2 buy up EVERYTHING”.

For the record, I think that she’s being an embarrassment by being an attack-dog for her corporate backers, and a particularly unsubtle one, but I do think this bit is worth addressing:

This excuse is of course total bobbins; who says you need multiple Battle.net accounts to play local co-op, when you can just have all the local players using different characters on the same account? I mean, you can still have multiple characters per account, yes? So let the local players bring one of them into the…

If it works on console, it’s trivial to get the tech working on PC, so a quick spitball idea:

I filed to be excluded specifically for that reason. if someone uses my info I want to be able to actually sue them over it.

Yep, not even worth the time to try to remember what TV I bought in that timeframe. How do they even verify it? Do they think everyone will have a receipt for a TV they bought 25 years ago?

“The settlement estimates that everyone who applies will receive at least $10 for one TV.”
