1. NRS games do not have a solid competitive community. they are a fraction the size of other games. partly because everyone abandoned the game due to their knee-jerk patches every few weeks. they have one legitimately great player and the rest of the scene trying (and usually failing) to beat him.

The issue is more complicated than that, since there are things like these released in Japan:

Nonsensical argument. The NBA playoffs aren’t part of a crossover between Deadspin and Kotaku. If you don’t like it, don’t click on it. That’s the best way to show your preference, since the numbers inform the folks in charge about what to feature. That’s why I don’t click on wrestling articles, since it has less in…

You’re making this comment in the ‘Compete’ sub-vertical, which has different contributors than the generic Deadspin vert.

The Room? What do they do there, tear you apart?

The “high-tech prosthesis” comment is a quote from Iron Man 2 when he’s shit talking Gary Shandling in Congress.

Wii U was launched at the holidays, when everything sells big.

It’s more the fact that he can be killed with 2 correct reads.

Respect racist beliefs just because they’re somebody’s opinion? No thanks

Aren’t you being a White Knight defending JonTron by now refusing to buy the game? What’s the difference?

Nope.

Goddamn, that is a stupid argument.

I think we’re supposed to be able to make a living and have opinions too, regardless of what they are.

A witch hunt -HOW?- Jon openly made his views known, then doubled down on those views. When you do that with racist, bigoted bullshit in public, it’s going to result in problems for you. This is a dev not wanting at all to be seen as supporting a racist bigot who again acts as if there’s nothing wrong with being so.

The neckbeard is SPREADING HATE through his alt-right videos and he has MILLIONS of subscribers, which a portion of those are younger people, influencing them. How is that unfair? This is a marketing decision and they made a right move since associating with him at this point would hurt sales.

What do you mean “would ignore again?” You didn’t ignore it. You posted a direct response to them. Do you know what “ignore” means?

directly from him during an interview.

Hey. Fuck you too.

When the crap did everyone start to think the world should be consequence free? If you say something shitty, people may not want to be associated with you.

Counter-point: No it isn’t. This is a reasonable repercussion.
