Something like 2% of people who own Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN on PS4 have never even launched the game.

That seems shockingly low compared to, say, any game on Steam.

I mean you can buy skins with credits

You cannot buy credits, though, you just slowly amass them whenever you get especially bad loot box pulls. It's a consolation prize, and it doesn't really bypass the gambling.

Good thing HotS is not a moba

Well, you see, while our game pits two teams of five in a game where they push lanes and kill each other with the end goal of destroying a large central base structure that requires an in-depth knowledge of each character's strengths and abilities before you can even start getting good, it doesn't have last hitting and therefore it's not a MOBA

I wish they would have put in the effort required to make Greenlight a positive thing instead of the festering garbage heap it is, but the current situation is untenable. Direct seems bad but I don't think it's worse than the status quo.

If it wasn't for Valve's complete lack of any will to keep a tidal wave of lovely games that are sometimes literally unplayable out of their storefront we would not have the saga of Digital Homicide: the guys who filed an $18 million lawsuit against 100 Steam users over their negative reviews, and who pledged $1/month to YouTube Opinions Man Jim Sterling in order to prove that he does business in Arizona so they could file a $10 million suit against him in the Arizona court because he said mean things about their crap games.

I get that, but wouldn't have keyboard and mouse peripherals for console essentially eliminate that problem?

The core of the problem would be the same as it is today: a minority of players are willing to spend more money for an objectively and dramatically superior control scheme, making it harder to balance issues that crop up due to the properties of a controller.

This particular transgression was, compared to the other lovely things he's done, probably easier to communicate because all you need to do is post a screenshot of the bit where two guys are holding a sign saying "kill all jews" and Pew pulling a face.

You can watch videos on a cell phone now. 56k modems aren't exactly a problem at this point.

It's gonna take people less time to digest a screenshot than a video of any length, and getting people to click on a video is a lot harder in the first place. It's more about exposure and ease of sharing than it is about the content.

I guess I'm just curious as to why entertainment companies think 'jokes' about women, hispanics, blacks, asians, etc. are either perfectly fine or begrudgingly overlooked, but Jews are completely off limits.

What makes 'jokes' about black and Hispanic people (two groups with an immense and heavy history of violent discrimination in the United States that continues to this very day, and who, generally, live in immense poverty compared to the majority of the country, and who are at risk of losing a lot of hard-fought rights in coming years) acceptable, but saying anything about Jews, the wealthiest, safest and- dare I say it?- most privileged minority group in the entire western world, is a grave offense that must be immediately dealt with?

I mean I could quote myself again but it's clear you're incapable of accepting an argument that goes against your preconceived notions about a (((certain minority))) and would rather masturbate about how correct you are that Pew would get no gruff for holding a sign that says "I LOVE RAPE".

the "hype" for bomberman R may be the saddest thing ever. it a bomberman game made by konami but the switch thread is hyping it up because it the only launch title on the system that is exclusive and not a casual mini game.

please point out the hype to me because all I see is a bunch of disillusioned nerds talking about how much it will suck and how ugly it looks
