I am sure the comments are going to be calm people discussing the merits of- oh nope already toxic!

I mean, I would hope the ones who ran the video game wing of a company plays their own products. Would be pretty bad if they didn’t.

the thing I think they needed to do was pivot to a pax style event. E3 as a trade show doesn’t make sense in the modern era as most of what is on display is software that can be shown off just as well as if not better online. Not to mention CES is just a better time in the year to do a hardware reveal given the…

I do still think it’s nonsense to put Cyberpunk 2077 in the Ongoing Game category, particularly when the only reason it was really “continuing” is that they had to continue to fix their shit, and now they’ve announced they’re done. Somebody really wanted to give CD Projekt Red a consolation prize.

Bungie has proven they can’t handle Destiny so many times already. It really has been a franchise that’s full of issue. From Destiny 1 being a flop and dieing super quickly, to Destiny 2 being a total mess.

Confusing expansions, excessive amount of currencies and microtransactions. One of the worst crimes of all was…

Destiny 2 is six years old. Most people have moved on to something else. Make a new IP or Destiny 3 at this point.

This is such a terminally online take. The notion of bottling up each individual culture such that everyone stays in their respective lanes and culture can only be expressed or shared if someone has the exact same skin tone and nation-state lineage as you is so fucking backwards.

If people have issues with the…

Calling this “cultural appropriation” seems like a massive stretch to me, and I’m liberal as all hell. You might as well say any white person cosplaying a character from Naruto, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen is guilty of cultural appropriation. Doesn’t that sound utterly stupid?

I find it fascinating that progressive people in favour of representing other people’s cultures find it offensive when the “wrong” character attempts to showcase said culture.

Americans use the terms “cultural appropriation” and even “black face” so incorrectly they’ve completely lost all meaning. You stupid fucks need to figure out what you’re upset about quick because one day something actually offensive will happen and we won’t have the language to describe it

Seems incredibly shortsighted given that PC game sales were only about 15% below all COMBINED console sales last year.Let alone modded PC RP servers have been what’s keeping GTA online still relevant on Twitch.

Well, I’m not buying a console just to play it, so I can wait. Just upgraded my video card, begrudgingly. 

Considering selling STASH SPACE in a fucking premium game with premium priced expansions? Gold-pickup pets? Yeah, fuck off with that shit. Go F2P if you want to do that, the box price is supposed to offer some protection from that kind of monetization. I can play Lost Ark or PoE where those things are part of the cash…

No

Too little too late. They’d have to do a dozen things to fix the game to bring me back. I posted this awhile ago on a different post but it got no traction so I’ll post it again.

Not likely! If they wanted this game to eat my life for more than two weeks they should have had it fixed before releasing it. I understand it’s a lot better now, but I’ve moved on. 

Its not just video games - but why is it these CEO clearly screw up and make a mess of things yet remain employed? This sounds like string of bad management decisions. C-suite should pay the price. And not with a golden parachute - they should get the same severance any other employee gets. It amazes me with the focus…

Counterpoint - I have a single 26.2 magnet (about 4 inches round) on my car from the years of training I put into the Boston Marathon. And when I go to other running things, people actually do ask about the effort.

I don’t think it’s AI, but I report those disgusting animation videos that depict graphic bodily procedures every time I see them and despite blocking the channels that deliver that content, I still see that crap when I’m browsing YT (and for ASMR content, at that). Amazing how YT can identify swears and music clips…

One one hand, free pizza rules and it’s Domino’s own damn fault for making a full-on freebie code in the first place.

On the other hand, free pizza does rule but ordering 77 free pizzas is overly greedy and just calling attention to it, ruining it for everyone.

On the other hand, I feel bad for those employees that got…
