Has online media always been this base and shallow?

I’ll bet it does.

why would you ever let what other people think control what you do ? at the end of the day, its just a video game

Well that’s the left today for you. You’re either an activist too or you’re literally Hitler.

I’m confused as to why people seem to think Keighley should be an activist. His shows are and have always been marketing shows. The only time he’s ever mentioned a publisher in a negative light was Konami and that was only after it essentially left the gaming industry and was no longer relevant.

Did Geoff Keighley sleep with your girlfriend or something, damn

This was my exact reaction as well. This article and most of the commenters are off-base here.

Well, if they’re employees of a company selling his product their job is, in a sense, help this guy (and many other corporations) make money. So, if they’re at work, then no, they very much don’t have anything better to do other than help him (and millions of other people) make money. 

Helping people stock shelves, i.e. finding it and putting it out for them, is not “forcing” anyone to do anything. It is the exact opposite, i.e. doing their work for them so they aren’t compelled to do so because of their job.

Yes, this 17%/2% is a false equivalency between parametric response and purposive sample.

Agreed. Nuance is lost. “I am right. They are wrong.” Repeated over and over.

This article is unbearable, and might finally be the tipping point for me to leave this site. AI art is a tool. Saying it spits on “real animators” is short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times, like anyone saying that Photoshop, filters, or digital animation weren’t doing “real art.”

Once again, the current crop of Kotaku writers show that they’re not really qualified to comment of economic/business or law-related issues.

But that rich people don’t suffer at all is a function of both political parties’ unwillingness to raise taxes on the wealthy to fund social safety net programs that could help ease the pains of a recession, or even pass any legislation that so much as inconveniences the rich. The Federal Reserve has no control over…

It’s a libertarian/small government dog whistle that insists government has “run amok” and isn’t accountable. In this specific case, it’s so transparently a dog whistle because one of the hallmark features of the Federal Reserve is its independence from the executive branch and the political parties. It lets the…
