I can't tell if I miss Quick Looks or just the era of Giant Bomb in which they occurred, where everyone was together in one room. I definitely like the more curated content vs the streams but what I ...

@av_gamer: A lot of fans do get this and are very very angry about it. It's insane to me how much vitriol there is about TLOU2, which is a game I didn't even like that much (mostly because I thought i...

@ben_h: They also make Windows so presumably know how it works, which should make it easy for them to preserve games on reinstall.Here they don't even have to copy the competition. They can copy thems...

@brian_: It never ceases to amaze me how all these services companies have so many employees and designers and they never seem to understand basic things about how users might use their services. I ca...

@brian_: You could test that by trying it with a game you haven't played yet. Just get like 10 minutes in, save, turn off console, delete everywhere, see if it preserves the console save? If it does e...

@mento: I'm not here to try to get you to change your style, I'm here to poke gentle fun at it. I'm DEFINITELY not here to suggest you start playing more bad games.As I said I like most of your write-...

@efesell: He hasn't done anything that we know of, yet. Though it's possible he's funding Jones behind the scenes (I don't mean as a business entity, he might be giving him personal resources, but tha...

@bisonhero: One thing that helps explain this phenomenon is the difference between corporate risk aversion and personal risk aversion.Is it risky for Ubisoft the company to make an F2P bog standard sh...

The short-sightedness of these mega companies will never cease to amaze me. It's not just making XDefiant in the first place, let alone releasing it with that horrible name, let alone failing to mark...

@atheistpreacher: Almost everywhere, especially with light moderation, is a cesspool now. I don't fully understand it, but I think it has to do with how the social media sites and their "engagement" a...
