    Former Diablo Director Jay Wilson Leaves Blizzard

    can't we just start, and stop the conversation about Bogo's editorializing of articles by just pointing at the Ethics contract that Tito posted a couple years back during Gamer Gate. where it was mentioned that 'articles will only ever have the last 2 paragraphs as a chance for the author to...

    Hearts of Iron IV 25% on Release Week Discount

    I wish that these posts were better marked as what they are. even if it was a ": Deals on the internet" because many times I think that these are just like a 'this one product is having a special sale', and if it isn't a product I care about I will skip the article.

    Carl's Jr. CEO Readies Robot Workforce to Counter Rising Wages

    Obama says "we need to make it so that anyone can go to college to learn programming, and robotics" people shrug him off as day dreaming. some of the brightest minds alive talk about 'we need to be mindful to not replace every human with robots, or the economy will quake' people just ignore...

    Why Do I Need to Restart the Game?

    my statements were meant to only be in direct response to the "question" though the presumptions that you make in your points are a little staggering. the Unity launching optimization window is actually a double edged sword for, and against Unity. it is a Hallmark that the game is made with...

    Why Do I Need to Restart the Game?

    good article, but in some ways your argument is a little flawed. instead of laziness, or budget typically what actually limits the dynamism of especially shaders, and graphics is not the complexity itself, but the overhead of what has come to be the "god shader" the shader that literally does...

    Shenmue 3 Kickstarter Announced at E3 - Update

    this is the sleaziest kickstarter since that effectively Hollywood movie got an indie-go-go to have it made, and then the people who donated still had to buy tickets. in the traditional publisher developer model of game development the publishers where the ones holding the lions share of the...

    Steam Machine Pre-Orders Shipping in October

    If we look at statements by Gabe "owner of Valve" on the lines of computes 'one of the greatest weaknesses of the PC market is a lack of standardization which creates to great of a barrier of entry.' the best reason for these was "supposed" to be a more standardized approach to PC shopping with...

    No WTFast, You Can't Bribe Customers For Positive Steam Reviews

    this is why if I am really questioning the purchase of an item then I will only read the top 3 most helpful (that are longer then 10 words), and then I switch over negative helpful reviews, and read through the top 5-10. the primary reason for this is that the top 3 most helpful (that are longer...

    Escapist Podcast: 174: Best Video Game Genre

    I liked this format a bit better then the previous news catchup style that always felt like it was being done better by the quick update show by the top 5 show personality. it always felt more approachable of a show in the sitting around a room talking about stuff pertaining to games context...

    Atari Accuses Tempest 2000 Dev Of Copying Tempest 2000

    though on the flip side I would actually like to see this go to court, and possibly get appealed to the Supreme level, so that we can finally get a realist fundamental interpretation of copyright law, and then maybe just maybe we can't get things like "copyrighting the ability to run wires...

    Nintendo Launching New Mobile Push, Working on Next Console

    see the thing is if you look at how micro-transactions can be good: selling skins, extraneous characters then fine those are great uses of them, but once they get into selling power (especially in a social style game), or putting in pay walls those are where micro-transactions fail, and just...

    Release Day Deals: Battlefield Hardline $10 Off for PC

    I would suggest that anyone reading this (if it is not corrected by time of reading) should use the contact option found at the bottom of the page (category corrections makes the most sense), and report the current issue. my submission was as such (treating this as open letter format) deal...

    Valve on Customer Service: "We Need to Do Better"

    lucky you. I have to date filed 20+ separate steam support requests (granted some of those were having to resubmit a ticket because to much time had passed with no answer) my experience is that if you state that there is any problem with the steam client they will tell you to re-install the...

    Cities: Skylines 27% Off Deal, Plus $8 Thief Series

    I don't understand why a article/promotion posted on the 12th would include deals that ended on the 11th dido I don't see it either, but didn't realize it until after I read yours.

    Firefly Actors Crowdfunding New TV Series

    so the under line of the show could literally be "Firefly-actors: what we think our lives are" really, so it will be the actors who struggle from firefly who feel they keep getting type cast complaining "I keep getting type cast after that roll", and Fillion's character trying to be the...
