It would be cool to have “public events” like in Destiny - face off against a ghost navy, the kraken, etc.

You see how this whole article is structured, right? It begins - literally the opening sentence - by acknowledging this could be an “embarrassing gap in our knowledge”, then I repeatedly mock myself for reporting 23-year-old news throughout, and then finish by mocking us again by suggesting we’ll report on a Wii egg…

Pretty much any of the ultra hard games. I’m in my 40's, so I grew up with a lot of NES and SNES games that were hard in comparison to modern counterparts, so it’s not that I can’t get through difficult games. The bigger issue for me is that at this point in my life I just don’t have the time to repeat the same boss…

One of those “pretend not to know what the author is referring to when they use common industry parlance that refers to a specific business model, so that I can act superior and impart useless information that is irrelevant to the topic at hand” statements...lmao

Then what the heck is Destiny 2 doing up there?

Ill echo everyone else here and say you definitely owe it to yourself to check out Persona and/or Yakuza if you haven’t already. Easily Sega’s two best properties (Persona 5 is a fine place to start with that series and as for Yakuza, Yakuza Zero is great if you prefer action-based games and Yakuza: Like a Dragon is…

The problem is you’re expecting actual journalism out of Kotaku. The people capable of that are long gone.

Seems like Riccitiello is the person who makes that decision, but other commenters that are more knowledgeable about Unity suggest he is merely the tip of the iceberg.

I wonder if shareholders will hold Riccitiello to account for the shit storm. Probably not.

I wonder if the shareholders feel OK about the damage he did to the company and stock price! Hopefully he gets voted out. 

I feel like they damaged the brand so badly last week that they may have had no other choice than to remove that “Made with Unity” screen for personal licenses.

Sweet Jesus. How that CEO is not fired already is beyond me.

Previously published games were pointedly NOT exempt. There was language that applied the rule retroactively depending on various circumstances, such as if it received updates recently, since Unity counted any work of any kind being done to a game as “agreeing to the new terms”

He’s been selling stock for a while this is all his plan.

I guess I’m not surprised about this kind of shit, considering the CEO of Unity was previously CEO of EA

Yeah, same. Did the same with the Norman Reedus Walking Simulator. Was still almost ten hours before played in background at 1.5x.

I’m seeing the word Overwhelming thrown around a lot in these reviews, and that’s a big red flag to me. Quantity over quality is another phrase I saw, but if anything, 100+ hours of gameplay doesn’t draw me in anymore like it did 10 years ago when Skyrim came out, it makes me run for the hills.

im honored to be your first real life climax

i know you are trying to be smert but im commenting on the quality (or lack thereof) of the subject matter which is more than your comment to mine.  GOOD JOB WHATEVERDUDE6 YOU REALLY SHOWED ME

Wow, the Reddit trolls are out in force. This isn’t “just” a leak. He didn’t buy a legal copy early, or even violate a review embargo. This guy allegedly stole multiple copies and was reselling them for profit. The people who are defending it as “who cares if Microsoft is missing a few thousand dollars” are the exact…

What about the part where the guy stole a bunch of copies of the game and then tried to sell them?

It wasn’t a leak, insofar as a developer or a reviewer breaking an embargo, it was (allegedly) a straight-up theft of physical copies of the game and reselling them for profit.
