This is fair. I am usually not in spaces where I'd see it much but have heard tell. Part of why I say it is to not have people feel shamed if they just generally like the culture/pop aesthetic involved without any baggage and to encourage people to do what they can to counter co-opt attempts

Won't happen. Not necessarily the them not buying it part, but it staying popular at all. No site/program is too big for Microsoft to torpedo. Skype used to be the verb for voice calls before they got their hands on it.

This is hyperbole. A large amount of racists and bigots are into norse stuff? Maybe. Almost all people in the norse stuff are racists and bigots? High doubt, and shouldn't be allowed to be coopted anyway. Loki is one of the few ancient figures with some gender fluid markings as it is.

Feels like this is made in an attempt to get outrage clicks, but I'm pretty sure the show has a legitimate claim to "The Game Awards" as a trademark.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Not only is it fantastic, it would benefit greatly from a remake due to how the code is held together by tape and dreams of a better future

PC games are a bit different simply from how open they are. It was too easy to rip disks which is part of how the perception of PC gamers as nothing but pirates came about in the 00's. Part of the reason that early Steam sales were so legendarily good was because so many publishers had written PC gaming off as a lost cause.

Any time a company says "People don't want x" what they mean is "We don't want people to want x", usually due to money, effort, control, or a mixture of the three.

Fake or not, I may hate this anon most of all

Ah yes. If there's one thing that the Playstation has been known for over the years, it's been a very narrow selection of games to draw from.

Yes, I believe all the UbiArt games did. I would defend all three of those and wish they didn't slip into the wind
