The only way they'll "return to their roots" is if they aren't publicly-traded.

Oscars and Grammys are so behind the times, just advertisers of the pop sectors of their respective industries.

When the fuck has economic disincentive ever been a priority for civil courts? Large corporations do billions of dollars of damage on a regular basis, and get fined for millions.

I played Dark Souls for 80 hours before I thought it was crap. Shit graphics (on the Xbox 360), shit difficulty, no story, thought the game was just one big trollface, tempting you with ideas that might pan out, but don't. I kept playing because everybody else thought it was the best game ever, and convinced myself that it was like other RPGs, where if you grinded enough to get the right gear, you could tame the difficulty. It didn't. Difficulty for older areas was better, but new area difficulty was still shit.

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

Microsoft is ruining Windows. It just keeps getting worse. Whether it be their insistence on AI and cloud garbage, or just a general sense of incompetence, I can’t help but feel like the operating system has seen better days.

Normally I wouldn’t care too much, big tech ruins another thing, whatever.

But the problem is Microsoft has such a dominant market share that you can’t really escape them.

I guess unless you use a Mac or something I don’t know.

 

To most of us, this is probably just a summary of events over the past year or so. But, it's good to know that this sort of news is reaching non-gaming channels.

 

A well-balanced look at what they did right (graphics and acting), and the dumb decisions that got them at this point.

 

A look into the world of video game modding, machinima, and other fan creations. This video goes over the history, some popular examples, and interviews with several creators. Just how much of a game is yours to do what you want with? Where are the limits?
