    Valve bans Game Developer from Steamworks for pointing out a vulnerability

    "I'm sorry the company famous for delaying game releases, game updates and Half Life 3 doesn't put out behind-the-scenes steamworks updates on your schedule. I'm sure if you wrote a letter to gaben he would apologize to you directly." Funny you say I made an ad hominem right after making a...

    Valve bans Game Developer from Steamworks for pointing out a vulnerability

    Just so you know kangaroo, the "steam subscriber agreement" isn't the word of god. common mistake. You keep saying he should "exhaust other options" but exactly how much responsibility is he supposed to take on his shoulder? How far is he supposed to go? Where does valve actually start being...

    Pokemon X and Y Art Director Struggled With Legendaries' Designs

    First of all if you disagree with somebody else's opinion of design then it is up to you to have a counter-argument just as much as it is up to them to have an argument for their opinion. Secondly, If it's such a waste of energy to defend the design, then why are you wasting your time and...

    Pokemon X and Y Art Director Struggled With Legendaries' Designs

    When you say subliminally do you by any chance mean passive aggressively? And you weren't making an observation by the way, you were making a prediction about what people would say, and then preemptively dismissing it.

    Gearbox President: "I Have Always Profited From Criticism"

    Ya gearbox has me nervous now. I haven't played aliens, but I have seen some of the examples of gameplay quality and the demo they showed off. And after seeing all these posts, I'm getting to the point where i don't think I will buy any more of their games until I've seen evidence of quality...

    All JRPG needs to be liked again is to be gritty.

    Ideally yes, but I find that's not always the case. You sound as if you come from the angle of having quite the familiarity to them. But many of them can be quite intimidating to newcomers. If they want to gain more popularity, I would think it would be best to make the gauges, meters, and...

    All JRPG needs to be liked again is to be gritty.

    I would not consider myself a huge fan of JRPG's. But it's not because of the lack of 'grittiness'. Really what gets me about a large portion of them is that every character has to have exactly one (1) character trait. i really get tired of the 12 year old super-soldier girl bouncing up and...

    Spec Ops: The Line - A 2nd opinion? I don't know.

    I definitely felt there was some problems with the game, and I'm probably not qualified to make a true opinion, but I felt the idea behind a lot of the events was more of an exploration of the medium as a whole. The exploration of character to player was an extension of why people seem to buy...

    Crytek Boss: "Impossible" For New Consoles to Beat PCs

    Earth defense force: insect armageddon. I have put more time into this game, which looks like an HD remake of an n64 game than all the crysis games put together. 2-player split screen forever. Same with Borderlands. (not to say I don't like crysis, just that graphics aren't that...

    Why Bronies (and Pretty Much Everyone) Should Hate the Brony Documentary

    Were these documentaries about the show itself or about the fans? Because if it's about the show, then themed porn would likely be out of it's scope. If it's about the fans however, then you I would think it deserves a mention, even if brief. And yes, the death threats should probably be...

    Why Bronies (and Pretty Much Everyone) Should Hate the Brony Documentary

    So BashFluff... So it's meant to tell you about a subject...but only the good parts. Because documentaries on the Nazis and the Belgian Congo Company seem to miss that. And I don't see Vietnam documentaries talking about the nice weather and friendly locals playing tag in the street with...

    Why Bronies (and Pretty Much Everyone) Should Hate the Brony Documentary

    So what you're saying is that if they had a documentary on bioware fans they should neglect to mention the death threats because other fandoms make them too? Isn't the point of a documentary to inform? While we're at it lets make a documentary on Stalin and ignore the killings since Hitler did...
