She became Asian for that Sin City role? IS SHE THAT GOOD?

Um what, Miho was Devon Aoki and that was basically the last high profile major release she ever did. She did a slew of D movies after. 

They also gave Sharona Rhimes a huge deal.

Also Netflix: gave 8 series from female creators a shot?

Were those other series making money?

People want to shit on them for not showing up at Comic Con. Honestly, if I was them, and I’d taken a 5 minute tour of reddit or Twitter... they already know. They are entirely, exactly, 100% aware of how much ire people have for them. Why the hell would they want to show up to a place where people are going to…

There’s nothing in your twitter post that says anything about it being funding related? Did you consider the possibility that those shows just might not have done well? Netflix drops shows all the time. Literally every time I go on Netflix there’s a 4 season show that I have never seen and know nothing about. 

Most people who are talking about the post being snarky and condescending are also condemning the death threats, sexism, etc. You seem to be under the impression that this particular Venn diagram is nearly a circle when it’s quite the opposite. As always, there’s a vocal, violent minority that doesn’t actually care…

Obviously harassment is bad. Thanks, after school special over.

They were being dicks about it when announced. A simple none condescending announcement would of been nice.  

Oh look. Another Kotaku article that lists all the things they see as wrong with Valve/Steam yet glosses over anything wrong with Epic or the EGS. No mention at all about how Epic treats their employees as far as “crunch” goes since Fortnite got popular even though Kotaku loves pointing out that issue with every other…

I dont want to pay money and give my information to an unproven unserviced 3rd party. Beyond that I dont want to support epic and pay money to epic. I should be free to choose where I want to buy something same way your free to choose where you shop for groceries it's a grossly simple concept.

^ This.
I was a huge Ooblets fan; been on their Discord a long while now, keep up with all their devlogs, etc... but I’m not okay with installing a Tencent-owned piece of software on my computer for a whole slew of reasons(such as not being okay with their aiding the PRC in the ongoing genocide and “reeducation” camps…

The first sections are fine, ‘We are an Epic exclusive because Epic promised us a lot of money’. Great, that’s hard to turn down, we understand.  ‘Now we and our families feel more secure.’ Well good.

While I support their decision to do what makes sense for their company, especially financially, it felt like their counterarguments were mixed between easy lob shots and fraught fallacies:

Honestly, good for him. Twitch’s business/moderation policies are a goddamned mess — for a number of reasons, some of which have been covered on Kotaku before — and hopefully this gives them a much-needed kick in the ass to start making changes.

Or games lower their dev cost. Scale back on some features.  Don't make those bleeding edge graphics.  

I fully support the message about harassment ... the microtransaction apologism, not so much. After 10 years of increasingly predatory monetization the “you don’t understand the videogame industry”and “it’s just cosmetics” excuses are hollow.

Your last remark is important, as moderation remains key with escapism. With MMOs in particular I’ve seen many people fall down too far into the well, as basically such games provide you with the sense that you’re accomplishing stuff. You check dailies off your list, do some more grinding, play an important role in…

Video games helped distract me a lot after my dad passed away. Specifically the first Rock Band. Just getting people together felt great and helped me a lot.
