Yeah, it’s a sponsored Amazon spot. They’re not looking for deals elsewhere as it’s an ad masquerading as an article. Best left ignored.

It seems worth pointing out that the prices on at least several of these games (SQUENIX is only company I really have relevant data for) are actually higher than they’ve been in the last few days. Over the weekend, Tactics Ogre was $25, Valkyrie Elysium was $10, Crisis Core was $25, Octopath Traveler was $15, etc.  I…

I think the direction has to do more than the actress. Even in the script, you can tell the intention was to keep her more “mysterious”, and hold her poker-facey attitude until the DLC.

On the Website Formerly Known as Twitter, it’s common to spell his name wrong so fanboys who search his name and harass anyone who has anything less than kind to say about him won’t find your posts. The misspelling has since become a meme unto itself.

Is “Elmu” some kind of minced version of Elon? Sort of a Brandon / Biden weirdness?

…I think modern Eastern Europe occasionally has a bizarre fascination with World War II…

I resent the notion that ‘setting the game in 1992' and ‘setting the game at present’ somehow stopped being synonymous.

That makes you the outlier, not the rest of us

You either make your own engine (yeah, no thanks) or hope for the best with your new platform of choice. If I had to guess I’d say Godot would be the engine less likely to do sh!t like this, since it’s open source and it’s under the MIT license. Also I would personally choose it for the C# support (and bc it was made…

(Admittedly, somewhat cynical) translation: I got my bag, and the longer this remains available for purchase, the more liable I am for the obvious and blatant copyright infringement the game made its fortune on.

Which, to be clear, I don’t really begrudge. I doubt this dude thought this game would ever have the…

No judgment for how you choose to spend your free time, but maybe part of your issue is that you’re getting bored after averaging playing 9 hours a day for the past 6 days?

I like your point and agree, but

Yay someone validated your preconceived notions

Astonishingly, in the process, Pearce reports that she was so tired that she’d fainted on her return to bed and smacked her head

Kotaku is creating a lot of hit pieces against this game as a result of being on Bethesda’s blacklist. Take it all with a grain of salt.

part of the social contract we have is reporting crimes to the police, even if they don’t directly impact us.

Wow, the Reddit trolls are out in force. This isn’t “just” a leak. He didn’t buy a legal copy early, or even violate a review embargo. This guy allegedly stole multiple copies and was reselling them for profit. The people who are defending it as “who cares if Microsoft is missing a few thousand dollars” are the exact…

The guy wasn’t reported and arrested for leaking.

He had been stealing PALLETS of video game-related merchandise and fencing it on Mercari.

This is just what got him caught.

What about the part where the guy stole a bunch of copies of the game and then tried to sell them?
