Waaaaah!

I don’t really “get” Just Dance. As far as I can tell, it’s a full priced game that you then have to pay a subscription to be able to access all the content. Clearly it’s made them gobs of money, but I don’t follow the value to the consumer.

I imagine the political situation in Texas isn't helping either.

Yeah, Tim Sweeney is right, much better for society to have a few people hoarding most of the wealth while doing next to no work. Hoarding amounts of money so vast that they can’t possibly ever even spend a tiny fraction of it, while millions of their fellow citizens are struggling to find their next meal and pay…

Gritty compared to the kid’s show Andy’s toy was based on. Tim Burton’s Batman compared to Adam West.

When I used to play the top-down GTA’s, I said aloud to my friends: “The day they make a 3rd person GTA, games will be changed forever.”

My main find memory of GTA 3 was flying the tank over to the other islands before they were unlocked. It was a rebellious act in a game centered around breaking rules.

So you didn’t read about this game’s revolutionary foray into macrotransactions?

‘Nope I’m out. I mean I’ll try it. I won’t play for long. Well, maybe.’

They’re going to pry the games from your cold, dead console and future generations will never know what it was like to drive through Liberty City with muddy, low-res textures.

If any part of you is “grinning,” I think you’re the complete asshole in this situation.

I can definitely understand Baldwin feeling a tremendous amount of guilt for this, but the rest of your statement makes no sense to me. Assuming he was using the weapon as intended in the scene, how is this his fault? I can’t imagine it’s standard practice for actors to safety check their props. 

That comment should be in the article.

Hey, here’s a fun fact: Metroid Dread has been out for less than two weeks and it’s already become by far the best selling game in the franchise. Which is strange, because a bunch of weird nerds on here kept assuring me that its sales had been fatally crippled thanks to one Kotaku article.

The spice must flow!

“I hope the megaconglomerate crushes its tiny competition because the competitor was gauche in its messaging”

This is the correct take. If supply was outstripping demand, then scalpers wouldn’t be able to sell, thus eliminating scalping. High scalping margins therefore guarantees that supply is not meeting demand.

You know it’s still a full game right? It’s only newsworthy when they do this stuff though (or they just release press kits for this stuff).

So you’re positing that if scalpers weren’t buying them, they wouldn’t have sold? I think that’s faulty logic. Scalpers wouldn’t be buying them if they weren’t being easily resold. The demand is there, the consoles would have sold if scalpers didn’t exist.
