    [Update 2] How/why are console gamers satisfied with 30 fps?

    The human eye does not have a framerate or a resolution. This whole "your eyes can't see higher than X" is complete nonsense.

    A petition to black out Steam for an hour

    Most of them aren't doing anything to help women in societies around the world. Other than posting slacktivist hashtags.

    "Gamer" as a term. Is it dead?

    "Gamer" is fine. What would be your alternative? "Person who plays games"? If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Teenage Male Gamers No Longer Biggest Demographic

    Most mobile games are not Clash of Clans or Candy Crush. To make any decent money your game (out of the tens of thousands of others) has to go viral on the app store. Then you can ride the bubble for a couple of years, launch an IPO before you fall by the wayside like Zynga. Unless your game...

    Teenage Male Gamers No Longer Biggest Demographic

    Console gaming dwarfs mobile gaming. Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto are two of the biggest properties across all media. Bigger than any movie, bigger than the entire music industry. Mobile gaming doesn't come anywhere close to console gaming in terms of revenue. Success is short term...

    Are First-Person Games Inherently More Immersive?

    Valve's first-person shooters have excellent jumping mechanics. They invented the crouch jump.

    Poll: Hitman Absolution hates women

    Because men usually suck it up and don't complain. Bringing up male problems is supposed to put things in perspective for middle-class feminists who complain they are second class citizens.

    Poll: Hitman Absolution hates women

    Goofy and seedy aren't mutually exclusive. Look at Saints Row or GTA in some cases.

    Poll: Hitman Absolution hates women

    That is the main selling point of games like GTA or Hitman. I would be ashamed if I wasn't simply playing a video game,

    Metal Gear Solid 5 confirmed for PC

    I just need FF VX to come to PC. I would feel bad buying a PS4 just for that game.

    Strip clubs are totally out of place in a seedy crime game.

    Poll: Hitman Absolution hates women

    You might want to brush up on your comprehension skills and re-read my posts. Then maybe you won't accuse me of things I haven't done.

    Poll: Hitman Absolution hates women

    So you would just vote with your wallet and not buy a game if you didn't like it? Why not just say that instead of talking about white supremacists? I'm not whining about censorship, I just floated it as a possible solution that people might want to use. You are bringing your own baggage...

    Poll: Hitman Absolution hates women

    I'm not touching the stuff about your dealings with white supremacists. It's irrelevant baggage on your part. What about future Hitman or GTA games that want to use vice, sex, strip clubs etc as part of their world, story or theme (not necessarily a socio-political theme)? Are these bigoted...

    It was not a statement, but a question. One you have not answered.
