Physical violence of any sort is also not OK. Should we censor all of that out of our media as well? So are intentionally hurtful words. Does that all need to be scared out of our writers as well?
No seriously, if you're one of these woke types who called for this, then are you also calling for the above ^^^ and if not, why not? What's with the double standard?
@jsprunk: Good for him for not backing down to the two-trillion-dollar monster. At least this way some of us can see what Apple are doing, or at least, what they're afraid of.
I don't know why some people are so set on moving away from linear games. “Linear” as a word has a negative connotation, but it's frequently the best choice for games and their level designs, especially games with fast-paced, frenetic, tight, highly-skill-based gameplay.
The way they dragged The Matrix's memory back into the spotlight and tortured it in front of an audience for entertainment purposes was nothing short of tragic.
No one who knew what kind of film was being made ever thought it would be good. Only lucrative. Potentially lucrative. It was just sad in every way.
@muddrox: Baldur's Gate 3 and Witcher 3 don't even compare. Deathloop didn't have a collection of bugs, Deathloop had entire game modes at launch which simply didn't work at all, for anyone. Deathloop had absolutely brain-dead AI for all NPCs, across the board, for everyone. And I do mean absolutely everyone, including all reviewers. Deathloop was so broken at launch that if a random bug occured in-game it probably would have improved the experience. Baldur's Gate 3 and Witcher 3 got ≥95% in user scores (i.e. 10/10) Deathloop only cracked 70% this year.
You're not willing to look at evidence you don't like either way. No one is ever going to convince you of anything because you've already made up your mind, sans evidence. You just picked your side and that's that.
Your idea that journalists don't ever have political bias is far more ridiculous than my claim that they sometimes do, especially these days. From within your echo chamber bubble world, you can't explain how a totally, catastrophically broken game got a perfect score. You can't explain the 1/10 reviews for Hogwarts Legacy. or the JK Rowling political hitpieces that were all over this site. You can't explain incresingly restricted free speech or cancel culture generally.
When a theory doesn't line up with anything you observe in the real worl, that means it's wrong, and you're suppose to revise your theory. Some people however are only interested in truth when they think it benefits them.
