So, you can do used games, you just have to deal with a monopoly to do it. I mean, GameStop sucks, but it doesn't use a hardware monopoly to regulate its prices. In a world where Blizzard still thinks Diablo 2 is worth 30 bucks new, something tells me this isn't gonna bolster the consumer.

GameStop might suck, but being able to buy used games should be necessary.

Will not buy, fuck Microsoft.

I guess we'll see with the hardware, but PC seems to be making a resurgence as more and more AAA producers pull away from it.

Wonder what that says about how people value AAA games...

Mm. Trolling is an art. Caring too much is just the canvas.

Internet nihilism. Apply all the lame concepts of nihilism, and apply them to anything you do online. It's a great way to remember that video games are games and that whatever man, chill.

Ugh. I agree with being against this stuff. I don't agree with anyone who wants to try and make something like that a stigma. Shitty people exist, and it's our personal responsibility to lay the smackdown and/or man up. Don't try to sway public opinion- it's ineffective and it make you sound like a bitch.

Dude, we're talking about video games on the internet. Good trolling reminds us that nothing we do matters, and just chill out about it.

I think that the thing that Animal Crossing does well, is setting small, manageable goals in a world you can micromanage. For people who feel like there isn't anything they get to choose, you get a couple of rooms that you can try to design and collect for, and then a couple of quirky animal neighbors to give comic…

I'm not sure the gaming industry is 'blameless' (though I think it by-and-large lets newsgroups and critics do its dirty work on this subject matter), but I hardly feel that yourself and Couric are all the evidence that is needed to suggest that the ESA isn't doing their part in the discussion.

I mean, how often IS…

You can talk to the hand.

I think the intervention aught to be people taking the people in charge out of Paypal and dropping them off a bridge, into a shallow pool of water.

You win the internets.

Because then people would only buy it once.

Way to be a dick.

Real life can be a lot more complicated than you have drawn it to be.

That's great that you feel that way, or whatever. Why does it matter how you feel about things, when relating to this person who is not you?

Besides this, I fail to see how the author exemplifies this prioritization you claim about the religious person. Seems p. focused on assumption in any case.

I just wish the comments section could take that same stance of not just blowing everything out of proportion.

Why do you find it backwards? People who care about their religious beliefs might not have some sanctimonious opinion about violence in media. Don't just package everyone together.
