Gaming will be fine. This is another fatalistic argument. “They will pass the cost onto the consumer.” This is every company ever. The exploitative practices have to end, and relying on goodwill from executives to simply mandate an end to it is fantasy-level belief.

So... you’re saying the problem is... me? Huh. I mean, if you say your life experiences totally contradict my own, who am I to argue with you telling me how my life is! That would just be crazy talk!

Glad to hear it!

Yeah, fuck him for realizing he isn’t happy doing something and moving on from it. DOUUUCHE

I was really hoping it wouldn’t be another Destiny/Warframe wannabe. Screw multiplayer co-op stuff. I want single player RPG’s. I want some Bioware in my Bioware games!

Its about consistency. Take Star Wars, just because the setting has space wizards and physics defying machines doesn’t mean immersion can’t be ruined. Imagine after Alderaan was destroyed all the kids miraculously survived the explosion, and just kind of showed up on another planet. Would you say that no one could…

Personally, while I’d love a new subspace emissary.... I think my realest dream gamemode to that take would be a literal metroidvania formula for it. Literally... not just a linear set of stages, but a literal interconnected metroidvaniaesque thing. Perhaps even with towns.... I mean, Smash 4 with it’s gears and move…

Oh boy, ProJared...

It’s really annoying how they can just block everything from the native PS4 UI. I can understand stuff like in DB Xenoverse, where the anime style cutscenes were blocked due to copyright issues from the studio most likely, but if people are watching streams, then they already know they’re going to be spoiled. It’s not…

I find the need for “open world” environments to be a scourge upon gaming these days, not to say it can’t work but it seems a lot of games that would have worked better as well made linear stories (much like the original ME trilogy) end up been bloated unnecessary open worlds because its the thing to do these days.

I don’t think that’s what this is really about. It’s more about raising awareness to girls and showing them that this is something they can do (too). I don’t think this forces anyone to hire anyone.

In all honesty, what the fuck are you talking about? What is a situation where identity politics aren’t or shouldn’t be in the mix? They are always “in the mix” regardless of if people talk about them.

“We need more women, just because” is the kind of straw man that lazy thinkers use when they want to convince people that they don’t have to do any intellectual work. It’s not “just because”, and it never has been. Women buy and play video games, and are participating significantly in the economic market for video…

No one is saying “don’t look at their experience”.

I think your problems are:

You say “SJWs” like it means something. Here’s a fun fact: just because some MRAs made up a word to insult people for being decent human beings doesn’t mean normal people find it insulting. Because insults have to be, well, insulting. For example, if I called you “Gasenflooper” as an insult, at best you’d be confused…

Why are you bringing up Sarkeesian? What does she have to do with anything?

Okay, dude, the fact that you’re even placing a feminist critic - who you may or may not agree with, whatever - offering her critique of games and gaming culture as being in some sense equivalent to/’the other side’ of a group of people who go out of their way to ruin women’s lives is kinda f-ed up? Like, I’m not…

You must have ignored the part where no police report has been filed, much less a conviction, sentence or trial or any actual evidence besides an accusation before labeling a guy a child rapist. And that was before you ignored the girl moving in with a guy after detailing multiple instances of sexual harassment by him…
