It must be night to be able to still use Schreier to do all the hard work without actually paying him.

“He didn’t write it to become famous or for your enjoyment, those were just byproducts.”

Except you aren’t making me look bad, you just seem to be having one very long mental health breakdown over this including now talking about Shakespeare conspiracies, calling people “ungrateful little shits” and “unhinged”, and wanting people to suffer divine punishment for... snarking about a rich person failing to…

He’s not going to sleep with you.

Man, that’s some strong kool-aid, you might want to see a doctor.

Lol how about you stop being overly dramatic for a minute about a comment snarking towards a rich old guy who can’t turn a book in after a decade of promising every year he’ll get it done that year and instead go back into your hole until the next article touching on discrimination comes up and you can tell us all…

For reference, Shakespeare wrote every play he ever wrote between 1590 and 1613, meaning it took him seven fewer years (and counting) to create his entire body of work than Martin has taken to not finish a single series.

Nobody should be a dick to George R R Martin personally, and I honestly do not care if he ever finishes at this point, but this “how dare you ungrateful peons speak ill of such a celebrated auteur! you’ll take your crumbs and you’ll like them!” take makes me roll my eyes. People are allowed to be annoyed at the fact…

I’m pretty sure GRRM is rooting for himself to not have to finish it either. He’s trying to run out the clock on his mortality that way he doesn’t have to create an ending that will never satisfy the fanbase. 

You're right, fans should just shut up and never expect to have a conclusion because that's ungrateful. And it's impatient when fans expect news to come out only for him to blow right past the deadline that he gave himself only to tell people that he's working on something new! that no one's heard of nor cares about 

They’re a fan of his work, not of him as a person. Of course it’s going to cause problems when the series goes on a decade long hiatus. The only options there are: write off the series and leave him to be irrelevant as a public figure or wonder if the series will EVER complete. Your earlier post said “patience”. A…

If you read what he’s already released of Winds, and take broad story beats from the show, you can pretty much piece together the remaining two books, anyway. Obviously it deviated majorly from his writing after season 4, but there’s enough there to extrapolate, and Martin has indicated that everything in the books is…

You are going to get smashed in these comments, but you are not incorrect. Because companies are bad, it’s ok to steal their property is the general agreed upon belief. Because everyone is entitled to play 20-40 year old games that aren’t available legally any more.

The amount of piracy promoting this site has done recently is embarrassing.

I’d agree, but go a step further and note that everything about the interaction with Quiet Robe paints Samus as deferential and respectful. She lowers her guard when he shows her a gesture of respect (and there’s a callback to this much later that I won’t spoil for those who haven’t gotten there), she speaks to him,…

After watching that cutscene I get where you’re coming from but I think I disagree. The Samus in this game shows almost all of her emotion through body language. The fact that she lingers, staring at the body shows that she feels something. She’s acknowledging those emotions and internalizing them as well as the info…

Making fun of your readers who want devs to be properly paid for their work sure is some kind of take. I guess at this point this is just par for the Kotaku course. Particularly funny that y’all edited out a bunch of parts of the original article yet still want to pretend it was fine

Excellent. We are now on to mocking your readers for wanting devs to be paid. Disgusting. At least you have contempt for everyone. 

he absolutely is telling people to pirate it.

This article is really scummy. I’ve always enjoyed your content Zack, but this article made me lose some respect for you. The game literally just released yesterday for crying out loud. Genuinely shitty article to post. At least wait a few months.
