I hate all of those things. Not just because they are clear acts of greed in games that should have just been sold instead, but because they are often so intrinsically tied into the game itself, it forces it to change to encourage their sale. DLC sections off story and plot in a lot of bigger...

So where are we now that the site to report to for the replacement bags was so messed up that it gave out personal info to other users? Is this the rock-bottom, or do you think they can start digging even deeper still? This is just... I have to imagine someone is getting just destroyed behind a...

You aren't kidding. Though now I wonder if there isn't perhaps not a deep need to make a game teaching general life skills like how to do taxes, change tires, find jobs successfully, and so on.

Got to teach them all early about the greed of low-income property owners and the scam that is pay to rent I guess. Also, something about volunteering, helping your community, being self-made, putting in hard work, and other such stuff. I guess.

turns out, it is open contempt toward customers, and a complete inability to make a game stable. Honestly, it is about what everyone already knew, but now it lacks the "but they at least let us play with their crafting toys to make our own fun stuff".

I hope they get shredded for this nonsense. Open contempt for customers and complete willingness to try any underhanded crap they can just to begin with, now openly false advertising and a "lol fuck you" response... Shit like this or the battlefront lootbox crap is going to lead to new...

Games themselves aren't often cinematic or plot driven to begin with. Outside of the Triple A industry, it is often the gameplay itself that is front and center, with plot just justification for the game's play. I suppose you could argue something like undertale counts, since it was very...

I liked 2 well enough. Mixed about 3 being announced. Is there really that much to explore there? The grim and serious 90's style story of it all is cheesy fun I suppose, but saying Fury is going to be the most developed protagonist is making me scratch my head as to why. I'll keep an eye on it...

Meh. America is ok. Good freedom, too many rockets red glares. I give it a B+

That really sucks. The guy was an inspiration in the gaming community, a consumer advocate, and a pretty classy guy all around. I am sorry to hear he passed, especially since he beat the cancer for a good while there. I didn't always agree with him, but he was certainly deserving of respect...

The rules are not clear, they are vague generalities about acceptable behavior that are open to individual interpretation. Look at the wording of the core ideals of the rules past and current. "Don't be a jerk" "Don't be Rude and disrespectful" Trying to touch on the core idea reveals...

And this mentality is what helps foster the rules lawyering, the passive-aggressiveness, the banjumpers blight the site had to deal with, and other such issues. "The rules are the rules" is a lovely sentiment when they are clear, fairly enforced, and stop negative behavior itself. If even one of...

You are the one with the power to affect the site. I am just a user that has to adhere to the rules of the site. People learning from, and evolving with, the way the rules are flawed is the fault of the people who can actually change them. You are complaining about the people that adapted to...

No, you were the flipper. You were the only one with the power to do changes, so in the analogy you were the only one able to make the burgers. And right now, you are in the middle of the restaurant right now, screaming at customers, calling them petulant, and generally acting like they should...

There is a problem that is poisoning the site and killing it. You were in charge and were expected to actually address such problems. Your attitude is like a burger-flipper being expected to actually flip the burgers and getting upset at the customers who just want their food and are voicing...
