He can literally explain how his views have evolved. That's a thing he can do. He is not doing that. He (or whoever is now in charge of approving his tweets) knows any further detail will stick his foot right back in his mouth, so he's saying as little as possible.

This does not happen if your views have ACTUALLY EVOLVED.

For side by side comparison. Note that the sony chart is e3 only (they do ps expo too) and seems to be missing some titles as well like dqb and woff according to univbee

Its really a total abdication on ms' part of its role in 1st party dev

No, these are announcements made throughout an entire year.

Normally most of MS's announcement are just at E3, but Sony has 2-3 events per year.

As for why WoFF is excluded, if I were to include every single game announced the list would be too long, so I made my own creative decision to limit the number of 3rd-party games included. Only those that are major/lifetime exclusive/etc.

Apologies if this has been asked before but is there a summary of reveals/highlights anywhere in this thread? I just discovered this and I fear I won't get through all 200 pages before the end of today when I asked this same question in the 2nd thread.

The xX Xbox Xx at least makes me think that hardware has advanced enough for the next generation of consoles to be pretty cool, whenever we get there.

Look, the dude has lovely views, no debate. But it seems this method only creates more Notch-esque people and further emboldens the shitheads. People who spend all of their time in front of a computer (making a computer game requires a lot of time doing this) instead of going outside and dealing with other people tends to increase the chance of having terrible political views. It's not like you can brute force everyone into radical Marxism-Leninism overnight.

What did he used to say? For as long as I've been watching the Jimquisition, he's been pretty consistent in his views on things. The most he's said is he has some issues with some of the stuff in Anita Sarkeesian's videos, but he followed that up by saying the Gamergate crowd has basically made it impossible to ever really have that discussion

I'm glad we already have our "I'm too cool to know who the YouTube guy is and I want to make sure everyone knows it" post for this mention of Jim Sterling. Sometimes that takes half a page or more.

To be fair it's not a very high bar to pass to be too cool to know who Jim Sterling is.

Yeah but you can just not give them money which is easier.

Or maybe getting a million messages from people yelling at you how you're an evil person and should kill yourself mixed in with a few legitimate hey that's kinda a really bad take dude messages triggers a defensive response by people to double down instead of immediately yielding to the demands of strangers

The real solution to the evil game dev menace is to stop looking for tweets to get mad over and just play video games that look fun.

Yeah, but I think you immediately put yourself right back under that bar when you are compelled to post to make sure we all know you're too cool to know who Jim Sterling is.

No, but you can make it clear that those toxic views don't deserve the platform or publicity that Microsoft seems (seemed?) willing to give them.

As I said before, he's had no shortage of opportunities to confront and own his terrible behavior BEFORE this game got a spotlight at E3. He doesn't seem that deterred if he's making an entire game centered around his ridiculous and absurd political beliefs.

At that point you need to ask yourself just what Microsoft is willing to put out there as far as games publishing is concerned if these types of faux-intellectual screeds against women is something they want to slap their name on, it's not like he's been closeted about this at all.

Or maybe he couldn't confront it because the internet creates intellectual bubbles that insulate people from self-actualizing because there's no shortage of people to surround yourself with that immediately agree with everything you say? So what you perceive as a universal standard of morality (and for the most part, I'm sure I'd agree with) is harder to reach and influence people like this guy in a way that they could really think this through? The vast majority of the Internet is misinformation and bullshit presented as truth that it's created a shitton of people with idiotic views on society. I mean, look at Notch and his lovely views combined with his billions in our hosed up faux-meritocracy society where the majority of Americans see wealth as a natural indicator of a person's value. There's greater structural problems here creating these views that hounding one random guy on Twitter every couple of weeks is never going to resolve or even convince these people their views are wrong.
