The easiest way to share games between Switch consoles is just to buy physical copies of games whenever possible. None of the internet checking or account swapping nonsense applies to a Nintendo Switch game cartridge. Any account can play a physical cartridge at any time. Maybe I’ll hit up my local game store…

Which is why Kotaku’s coverage is so fucking tired on this issue. The accusation that this is Valve’s fault, that it started on Steam and not twitter/reddit/etc., is just garbage.

Sounds like they cancelled it because they’re going to release a sequel. Can’t wait for the exact same game with more micro-transactions shoe-horned in!

If anything, I’m impressed they haven’t taken some massive lawsuit out against him or similar. Certainly sounds like he was too well informed to be getting his information legitimately, and then using said info to profit on his channel?

Yeah, “investigating” that sure is fucked up. (What)

No mention of this?

You’re really brushing off the level of snark in their announcement, and failing to mention how they addressed concerns about availability of their game in different countries with currencies not accepted by Epic’s storefront with a “you’re not entitled to our game” bitchy and not at all joking response (which sort of…

Like I get it, its a lel. But its also a massive stretch. Sigh.

Is this clickbait? 

So in a nutshell they’re telling us, “We care more about the money we’re getting from the deal rather than what the people who buy our games think.”

^ This.
I was a huge Ooblets fan; been on their Discord a long while now, keep up with all their devlogs, etc... but I’m not okay with installing a Tencent-owned piece of software on my computer for a whole slew of reasons(such as not being okay with their aiding the PRC in the ongoing genocide and “reeducation” camps…

The first sections are fine, ‘We are an Epic exclusive because Epic promised us a lot of money’. Great, that’s hard to turn down, we understand.  ‘Now we and our families feel more secure.’ Well good.

While I support their decision to do what makes sense for their company, especially financially, it felt like their counterarguments were mixed between easy lob shots and fraught fallacies:

Posted the same thing on Jezebel:

So. Like. Let’s be real. Online harassment isn’t okay. That’s a fact. Name calling isn’t okay either. Calling a woman a slut because she wears low cut tops is just dumb.

READ THE REPORT!  lol

Yes and no. The intent of the policy (and it's policy, not law) was to prevent frivolous lawsuits against the president that would distract or prevent him from fulfilling his duties. I believe some of the thought was, if the president was committing crimes, he'd be impeached, then could be charged. I don't know that…

like 7 of the first 19 or so stories on Kotaku when I looked were for Prime Day.

“Unless you’ve got the world’s most powerful ad blocker, you’re probably painfully aware that it’s Prime Day, a holiday that Amazon made up because it could”

Wow. Yet another Kotaku article heralding the death of the 3DS... There’s one every three weeks or so, so I’m sure I’ll just be making this comment again at some point in the future while they still churn out games for it in the E-Shop....

Kinda reminds me of the (awesome) Tintin movie we got a few years ago, its a shame it never got a sequel
