I think that's still supposedly happening, yeah. It's already off to a great start, too! Today, they just announced that dedicated Destiny 1 players can carry over... their character's appearance. And nothing else. People are very pleased about this, especially the ones who (foolishly) spent a ton of money on microtransaction emotes and shaders, and the Destiny subreddit certainly isn't throwing a fit.

So what is going to be the big AAA release that actually satiates some peoples' blood lust for poo poo show reviews? Like they've been chomping at the bit to indulge themselves in the schadenfreude of a game that's been in development for years and has a huge budget go up in smoke once it's in the hands of reviewers and the gaming public at large.

hey remember that time that the game you liked's director literally equated gay people to dogs having sex in the rear end

I'm in the same boat, it was weird watching an hbomberguy video and being vaguely aware that the guy people post funny GIFs of sometimes is now doing five-hour livestreams about commulists.

if anything, i respect terry pratchett even more after, nearing the end of his days with his inhibitions, uh, inhibited, he wrote the foreword for his reworking of the carpet people where he took a mad potshot at george r.r. martin, because children, really, are the ones who write stories where everyone loves to go to war and kill each other and die

What's the name of the movie director that raped an underaged girl and then fled to France to avoid extradition? Because a bunch of people ooh and ahh over his movies and how well directed they are and every time someone brings up the whole "separate the art from the artist" thing I always think about what it must be like to constantly have to think to yourself "yeah the guy may be a child rapist but drat if he couldn't direct a fine movie" without going insane.

Was it Karin Traviss? It seemed like everybody was hiring her to write their tie-in fiction for a while. You've got to be aware that you hosed up somewhere along the line when even George Lucas thinks you suck too much to be allowed to write Star Wars novels.

I find that Polygon, RPS and Kotaku generally have a 50/50 ratio on decent articles when it comes to video games. Waypoint is really good and I dig their output in a big way. Hopefully we get more Waypoints in the future and fewer IGNs and Gamespots.

The Chapo Trap House hosts describe a failson as “twenty-six,” in Community College, and more interested “gaming and masturbating” than spending time with their family at Thanksgiving. Or, more compassionately as “nonessential human beings who do not fit into the market as consumers or producers or as laborers… Some of them turn into Nazis… Others become aware of the consequences of capitalism.”

I'm starting to think the Games industry doesn't make sense. As far as I'm aware, no publishers have even tried "buy our console game digitally and save tenbux" even though that should theoretically save them money later by having one less used copy out in the wild.

I joke among my game dev friends about bringing back "the golden age of advertainment" when they did fully-featured, full-price video games based on brands and products like Cool Spot and Chester Cheetah and poo poo. They laugh but inside I'm only half-joking.

It's card games and not video games but there are multiple tales of game stores telling Yu Gi Oh players that they aren't welcome any more...I don't mean specific players, I mean people who play Yu Gi Oh period...because the crowd they attract is so intensely toxic that it drives other customers away, and that's kind of a big deal since Yu Gi Oh is an extremely profitable game for many brick and mortar stores so for them to say "we don't want you here, go away" means they're willing to give that up just to not deal with the fan base.
