E3 is already very similar to PAX. I think the one thing that should be buffed to get closer are panel discussions which I think are more commonplace at PAX events. Also, spaces for people too hook up gear to get impromptu fighting game tourneys or whatnot might be good. 

Having been to quite a few of both PAX Seattle…

As much as the whole idea of a young hacker doing some techno gobbly guck to get in sounds fun, what do you want to bet this hack was done because someone clicked on an email scam or some idiot made their password “Passw0rd”

The American Taliban is above the law.

Either the DA is getting all their ducks lined up in a row before they drag him to court, or they’re in cahoots and waiting for the poop to dry before they drop the investigation or give him a sweetheart deal. Florida’s legal system is a toilet.

What the fuck is taking so long with this asshole being charged? His buddy rolled on him last year and the evidence of payments has been public about as long.

asked President Trump for a pardon relating to a sex trafficking probe underway by the U.S. Justice Department.

Youtube is 70/30 for everyone. 

Youtube = 70/30 period

I’ve been on the receiving end of a similar thing, it is a bummer.

I do wish he’d stayed a couple years more and kept Nomura on the leash... Maybe Kingdom Hearts II and later wouldn’t have gone off the deep end in deep, incomprehensible lore.

I’m very much in the “believe women” camp

Don’t be sad: it just means you’re not a soulless husk, and you’re still capable of empathy.

Maybe I’m just getting old and soft, but my mind went to all the devs and team members who actually probably worked very hard on this game and were likely to some degree mismanaged. Hopefully they work on enough not to have this kind of thing affect them too much, but I’m sure it can’t be great for morale.

Ed: “Babylon’s Fall?”

Meanwhile the actual Babylon took nearly three thousand years to fall, quite a bit longer than this game’s collapse and along with it a substantial amount of PlatinumGames’ reputation.

only one kind of person wears wrap-around shades to sit at a computer.

Gross take.

Yep, sounds like a bunch of people who never developed social skills all right.

Am I the only one sickened by this all playing out on social media like it’s just another bit of manufactured drama between streamers for mutual free publicity?
