As a Californian, goodbye snow Pokemon. You seemed pretty cool. Too bad I’ll never see you. You too rain based Pokemon. My chances of catching you have all but dried up.

I’m glad that you personally believe in “live and let live”, but please keep in mind how your actions may consciously or unconsciously contradict that motto. For example, I’m sure you’ve voted for more than one elected official who seeks to deny the LGBTQ community the same rights and freedoms that you enjoy.

Yeah... I swear, even as recently as AC:NL’s release, we were all talking about how the game was ‘checklist gaming’ and a ‘fantasy of labor’ and pretty cynical in its design. This article is fine, but the number of ‘oh no what has become of our wonderful, charming animal crossing, despoiled by cruel timers’…

i uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh post a link to our youtube channel at the bottom of every post btw

Isn’t the whole game grindy?

I went to shovel strike quarry when then prize was candy canes (from 5 people assisting, not using leaf tickets) and I walked out with 36 candy canes. I was lucky enough to get 3 gold and 2 silver nuggets though.

You can’t have cosmetics they said, you’d mess with the canon they said...

Games are getting more expensive to produce than ever, and fan expectations for the quality of the game experience is higher than ever- and as such, it is becoming a simple business reality that the standard, $60 initial purchase may not be enough to make these massive games profitable.

Even the ‘more expensive to make’ is yet another fig leaf they put on it.

There sure are a lot of upset pedophiles in the comments.

I do suggest installing games before christmas if you buy them for someone if possible. The installs can take hours(depending on what speed you) on a normal day and the download servers get destroyed by everyone downloading updates for games on Christmas so it will be even slower. There is also now the possibility…

Isn’t the point of it being a toy in the first place?

Iiiiiiif you were interested in talking to me about this kind of copyright law, you should send me an email at gita.jackson at kotaku dot com.

I don’t normally think doing something like this is relevant, but I’ll do it here just to weigh in as someone who knows:

I have an undergraduate degree in Music Theory and Composition, and Masters degree in Jazz (emphasis in composition and arranging) and that statement is precisely what you think it is: nonsense.

Absol…

I disagree with your first paragraph. It takes a long time for something like this to be recognized by the mainstream, non-gaming press. And once that happens, it takes a long time for anything to happen in Congress or state legislatures. I’m not saying the government will definitely step in, but this is about the…

Yeah, but people think Frank Castle and Rick Sanchez are role models.
