“Why this occurred to them now, and not ten years ago when games like Ghosts had already begun to disappoint, eludes me but whatever”

Guy missed naming that “suck button” mod Cities: Spitelines but I think it’s way too much hammering on his dumb head.

You’ll never own a Microsoft? Me either. 

Maybe, but you still remove the original tumor.  You sure as shit don’t just leave it there to continue metastasizing.  There’s no path to wellness that doesn’t involve excision of the original source of the infection.  

If it’s ripping off a regular amount of money, it’s shitty. If it’s ripping off 3.5 million, there’s no such thing as a person who spent that kind of money on Pokemon cards who doesn’t deserve to be ripped off.

I’m not going to watch any of this so maybe there is a perfectly good reason, but how is this possible. How do you buy something for $3.5m without having a way to verify what you’re buying or ensure you get your money back if its a fake.

The pay it forward thing has always been the dumbest thing imaginable. It’s performative charity for people who don’t need it. Want to feel good? Donate time or money to an actual cause. Or, as this article wisely suggests, tip the workers.

An investigation was launched due to an anonymous tip that “there may be a firefighter who might be moonlighting on YouTube

Yep, a lot of “who” and “I only clicked to engage with your content and let you know that I don’t want more of this content”

Love all the commenters signalling how they definitely do not know who Amo is and have never been on Twitch in their life. You’re so much cooler than the rest of us videogame blog readers

You cited Gawker and I was confused. I didn’t know someone rebuilt it. And holy shit... If New Deadspin is the friend you keep chained in the basement after he got bit by a zombie, New Gawker is someone you tried to clone using a DNA sample you found on an old crack pipe and grew to adulthood using bovine growth…

Did I Internet this right? Are we both rich now?

I right-clicked their apology just in case they made that an NFT.

The original version of the story was believed by some to encourage piracy of Nintendo’s latest Switch game.

The original Final Fantasy 7 had an MSRP of $49.99. That’s $86.57 in 2021 dollars.

You’d think a bunch of continuity ghosts would’ve shown up to try and keep the price point at $60.

Fellow weirdo here. I hope they never drop the modern day stuff entirely. The in-game encyclopaedias where the modern day person compiling all the info for whoever’s in the Animus adds their own little annotations and comments are always delightful.
