A Video Game Flopped Harder Than Anything At The Box Office This Year, And The Mainstream Press Barely Noticed (kotaku.com) angielski

Not to continue beating a dead horse, this article is really about mainstream media’s relationship with video games, or the lack thereof. For the first time in my life, I pay for a subscription to news, because the same problems that crop up from getting news from reddit happen just as easily here in the fediverse. There are...

RonnieB,

Of course I can choose not to buy in, but if it didn’t have a psychological effect they wouldn’t be doing it.

RonnieB,

Unless they upgraded them recently, the triggers feel awful and cheap
