@bladeofcreation: So we can agree to disagree on this issue and I’m glad you’re happy with the new direction. The only thing I take exception to is the dismissive notion that what I’m describing isn’t...

@bigsocrates: I don’t think your comparison is apt personally. Sure, a New York Times staff writer can appear on TV but they have exclusive contracts and typically don’t write for the Chicago Tribune....

@chibi_kaji: They’re only available “for free” because “whales” are essentially subsidizing those of us that don’t subscribe. If/when all of these individual content creators go independent and the Pa...

@ajamafalous: Again I think Giant Bomb’s business model is more akin to legacy media like a newspaper or cable news network. The beat reporters for my local sports teams write exclusively for the loca...

@reap3r160: It’s funny you compare Giant Bomb to a TV Network because I liken it to a newspaper where people obtain the coveted position of “staff writer” or “editor” and thus I can look forward to re...

@purpington: Legitimate news publications have editors and fact checkers regardless of what section their published in; that’s why they’re better resources then Giant Bomb or IGN. Someone posted anoth...

Ok...I have a confession to make...I very much enjoy playing “Marvel’s Avengers” for a few hours every week...I don’t think it’s nearly as bad the internet makes it out to be.*Hides behind the couch c...

@bigsocrates: You’re not wrong and if they’d give all of us who bought the game some sort of compensation I wouldn’t be as irritated but they outright lied to the player base for years at this point. ...

I typically hold a “pro publisher” point of view as video games are typically the cheapest form of entertainment out there dollar-per-hour but 3 things have really left a bad taste in my mouth this y...

@waiteybulger: I think we’re in agreement that what occurred yesterday was absolutely unpatriotic and that the cause of the BLM protests is certainly more noble then this election “fraud” nonsense but...

@av_gamer: So I can promise you that I don’t support what happened yesterday in any way, shape, or form. I think Trump is a deranged narcissist who has done irreparable harm to my political party (the...

@xenopst: I guess I just don’t understand why stating that rioting isn’t cool under any circumstances is controversial

@xenopst: I will concede that these two situations are not equivalent; what happened yesterday on capital hill was the most tragic event to happen on American soil in 20 years.However I do believe it ...

@xenopst: what concerns me about your rationale is that it seems to me you’re condoning political violence as long as you believe the cause to be noble. When (roughly) half the country has a conflicti...

So as a staunch “never Trump” Republican who was heartbroken by what happened yesterday I’m just curious (and I’m really hoping I can get a good faith reply here) why comparing the Capital riots and t...

How dare you! Machine Gun Kelly is the voice of a generation!

@bladeofcreation: Thank you for clarifying the distinction between transgender and transsexual for me; my goal wasn’t to offend and I’ll make a more conscious effort to use the correct terminology.The...

So I’ve been banned for wading into these discussions in the past but I’ll go ahead and try to add an alternative point of view to this discussion:1. I’m troubled that many on here simply assume that ...
