At least it should be easy to get a chargeback once you send them a .jpg of your purchase history.

imagine how much pressure was on the people who developed metroid prime. its been 8 years since the last game in the franchise, you have to live up to an all time classic like super metroid, AND you are replacing the traditional 2D perspective with a 3D one, a move sure to piss people off. they had to deliver a perfect game and they did it

I think I read Retro was apparently kind a bad dev up to that point but Nintendo helped get the best out of them I guess

I'm saying it's actually cool to spout racial slurs as long as it's not directed at somebody of a different race. That's why I'm literally skipping around my workplace singing every slur I know.

9/11 was responsible for many mid-2000s FPSes becoming Iraq war propaganda milsims so in a sense the terrorists did harm video games for years to come.
