I’d love to play EVE Online, but I’ve spent the last decade reading about the wars and corporate espionage and the backstabbing and I realized I don’t want to play a video game that mirrors real life so much. Games should be an escape from the bullshit of life, not a magnification of the worst qualities of our…

And before you get out all the way over your skis: clothing and other necessary items are generally non-negotiable. Unless we completely rework the rules of modern American society writ large and general human modesty, we’re not going to walk about unclothed—and given the ubiquity and professional necessity of cell…

New player retention is a problem because of how abysmally slow the game is before you get to do anything “Cool.”

I don't play the game but I like the idea of a blackout in chat from a mechanical standpoint. If players could build communication relays that enable anything beyond short range communications and other players would be able to target those to knock out communications for a set area, that could lead to some…

This ultra-hardcore space game seems considerably less hardcore upon being told that tons of players just stop logging in as soon as they can’t at all times keep tabs on every player anywhere around them in the galaxy.

Just....why? Why would they do this? Just to make people upset? These people must lead sad, empty lives...scraping by an existence fueled by other pain instead of love. Gross and sad.

If you go down and read the replies, it’s pretty clear that the community downvoted that post because at that point, the mod who wrote the apology continued to refuse to lift a ban on the user in question even after they received confirmation that they had banned the wrong person.

Devs gotta think about Steam like this - it has the biggest number of users, so it also has the biggest diversity in terms of tastes, public for niches and whatnot.

It’s a charming little game. Well worth the couple bucks. I’ll absolutely get the sequel. 

The article?

Within the reddit were plenty of legit complaints about the fact that it’s unfair for a skin to cost 18 bucks, that you can’t buy eighteen dollars worth of in-game money, you’d have to pay even more to get a twenty dollar pack, that you could buy other games for twenty bucks that are quite good instead of a simple…

To be frank, now that I know it makes you, in particular, uncomfortable, I’m even happier to identify as Latinx.

Don’t worry, I figured as much. I’ve lived in FL for a while, I’ve definitely ragged on my fair share of Cubans, lol, it’s all love.

I’d say less stole and tried to emulate since, y’know.

I live in South Florida.... we just say “latin.” It’s already genderless. 

No mention of this?

suppose I’m wondering what makes this game more susceptible to critique than say, Batman: Arkam Asylum

Nexon *probably* isn’t even the worst offender, but I’m significantly less confident about that. They’ve done so much weird shady shit.

The lesson here is clear:
