Wow, you really are desperate for content...

Okay, I'll complain that you didn't mention Devolver Digital, mainly because I thought it'd be right up your alley.

Welp, he's the one content creator you know you can't sack, so might as well wring more content out of him.

There'd definitely be a market for it, but I don't picture early-3D-style games taking off in the same way that pixel platformers did in the indie scene... simply because I think one of the biggest factors in that boom was that there was a real significant void to fill, and there isn't quite as...

I remember back when every week, there was a publication of numerous columns on game design topics (that's how I got the "Read at least 1 article in 52 weekly issues of The Escapist"). In an age when oversaturation of gaming videos is not only killing separate sites but even causing popular...

I'd say I was surprised he didn't preemptively scream about the fanboy backlash to negative reviews, but he knows full well that the fanboys are the vanguard of the lynch mob eagerly stringing this game up from the highest tree they can find.

Dunh dunh DUNNNNNNH!

Methinks the Escapist might be trying just a little too hard to court approval with the sort of people who think that any game that doesn't involve dudes shooting things is "an SJW game" and "SJW games" are bad. Basically, this. Leaving aside that some people seem to define "game" as "based...

Yeesh... Jim, that last round of layoffs, they're going through editors like tissue paper, and now this? The Escapist is coming apart at the seams.

Now let's see if they can get J.K. Simmons back for JJJ.

As sticky a situation as it is, I think that motive and mindset count a lot in terms of how people should be punished for crimes. With things like nonviolent drug offenses, or cases where people get into crime because of poverty, punitive justice serves no purpose other than to slake the...
