“The wild part is all of this comes in a $79.99 package, which is only $10 more than the base game”

That’s a given. The world tried a boycott that if anything, bolstered sales. Anything attached to JKR is pretty much tainted and no one wants to be the one to give it awards as that would be seen as giving JKR more publicity. 

If you want to use a more literal definition of ‘snub’ (rebuffed, ignored, spurned disdainfully) Hogwarts Legacy fits that bill to a tee. Considering the conversation around the game, it was obvious it wasn’t going to be nominated regardless if it was good or bad.

Why does it feel like Epic is pointing this out for the court of public opinion rather than the actual courtroom? I feel like this has nothing to do with the merits of the lawsuit itself.

Okay. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s by far the most popular search engine so apparently most people are happy with its quality.

Because... *checks notes* they won’t let you orange justice on your phone? Am I reading between the lines correctly?

Not at all. Google is easily the most popular search engine despite there being alternatives available. Gmail is very likely the most popular e-mail service, Android is very popular worldwide, etc. Suits doing shady/stupid shit doesn’t reflect on the quality of the products or services in any way. If it did, you’d…

Doesn’t the OW dev team have a diversity chart that makes this feel a little bit insincere?

It might have just been an excuse for the devs to be super horny, but it helped lead to the absolute brilliance that is the Ocelot model swap rain sequence...so I’m willing to give it a pass.

Konami has lost the juice, they aren’t good at doing things anymore.

Even after moving away from actively developing their own games, they are still unable to manage the brands they own without disappointing everyone.

The lesson we all need to learn from this and NieR: Automata is that when somebody asks you, “Why is this character design horny?”, it’s perfectly acceptable to answer “Because I like it.”

You certainly managed to draw a lot of conclusions about games that are 100+ hours long without actually playing them, based entirely on very small amounts of information. Clearly, we have found our new authority on the subject.

Wow mah brodas! Capcom breaking records in “BS per paragraph”.

They used to say that photography would make artists obsolete.

We should be moving toward a future where humans can rely on AI for most labor so they’re free to pursue their own goals instead of grinding just to survive. Businesses should embrace AI. And businesses embracing AI should be taxed HEAVILY for it, and that tax should go into a universal income. AI shouldn’t be a way…

How many industries have protested through time as technology remedies them obsolete? 

“34 Million People Have Played The Best Assassin’s Creed Ever”

... that plot point wasn’t scrapped. You literally launch the rocket at meteor.

Okay so let’s lay this out. In a game series who’s main point is for young children to capture animals and force them to fight each other, you have a moral issue about if a mouse creature may be a police officer?
