Another important consideration: making difficulty modes that deviate from the core designed experience can be of benefit to a game, but not if they’re implemented poorly.

I have tried, and completely failed, to enjoy the FromSoftware genre, so take this as you will:

Real quick:

Maybe one that’s TV-connected only, and one that’s portable-only?

Adding to the legal complications was “Marvelman,” a comic made initially as a rip-off of Captain Marvel.

Well it might not impact prices, but it might give developers more freedom to take risks.

Should Stadia prove stable and successful, developers may bring exclusive titles to it in part because those titles would be exceedingly difficult to pirate. 

It looks quite a bit like the original “Wicker Man.”

Considering that nationalism was a root cause for two world wars, it’s honestly a scarier group to belong to. They want to redefine nationalism itself as being a positive ideology.

Possibly. It’s such a vastly different game, though.

“Twilight Imperium” is a completely different game with its own mechanics.

While the theming isn’t as solid as the original Dune, I can recommend “Rex” from Fantasy Flight (mentioned in the article). It’s a streamlined reskin of Dune into the Twilight Imperium universe, and it preserves (and arguably improves on) the original game mechanics.

I really just wish everyone would calm down. It’s completely understandable that customers would be very frustrated with an unfinished, buggy product. They have every right to voice that frustration, but I would suggest not using that forum to vent such frustration. Consistently elevating the heat and the rhetoric for…

No, I think the problem is that you’ve grown used to interpreting “patriarchy” that way, but you haven’t actually been properly listening to the people who use the term.

That’s the standard Steam Link. 

Patriarchy doesn’t just mean “men.” It’s closer to “societal structures that treat men as superior to women.”

“the Bible was a straight white boys’ club.”

Last Temptation is indeed an excellent and nuanced depiction, though it differs from most adaptations of the Passion story in that it was deliberately written to be a fictional/non-Biblical account. 

It’s not good for the sex workers who elect to stay in the business. It’s a question of how many do so versus finding other lines of work. The bigger thing is that it makes trafficking an unprofitable enterprise. 

There are multiple competing feminist views on sex work. This site leans toward the libertarian approach, while other schools/waves of feminist thought are more inclined to support the Nordic model.
