This comparison with people that could easily cosplay as the Deathstar makes about as much sense as this one: Or this one:

My argument is that the "noise" comes from people employed at magazines like Polygon, Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun, EuroGamer, GamesIndustry.biz, GamaSutra and lately even GameSpot or IGN. I thought I made that rather clear. These are a few hundred people, most of them part of an insular community...

Did you read the article I posted? http://nichegamer.com/2015/06/dead-or-alive-5-sells-1-5-million-worldwide-f2p-downloads-over-3-5-million/ There are millions of people interested in these games, millions. Meanwhile games that the collective "gaming press" deems to push and even appeared at...

It's rather baffling to me too, but for some reason they believe that the majority of gaming publications like Polygon, Kotaku, Rock Paper Shotgun, EuroGamer, GamesIndustry.biz, GamaSutra and lately even GameSpot or IGN represent and speak for a Western audience of gamers like they should, and...

You couldn't possibly have it any clearer than this, somehow I believe you'll still find a reason for how he is "lying" or to misdirect: http://operationrainfall.com/2015/12/04/interview-haru-akenaga-masashiro-yamamoto/

Okay, then stop behaving like puritans trying to decide how other people should behave and what they should enjoy. That's kind of what the opposite side is doing and yes they are crusading against it. Yet here you are railing against a Volleyball game that doesn't even contain any nudity...

There's no "cultural backlash in the states", there's just a minority of people that have managed to worm their way into positions where they get megaphones and are able to spread this kind of horseshit. People like you are the problem with the current games industry, you have no interest in...

Please, tell us how you really feel. Aside from this prevailing anti-consumer sentiment that people like you exude, trying to "stop a game from being released" and "being happy" that people who wanted to buy it can't. It's frankly baffling. Most of your point don't make sense either though and...

Umm, what exactly has been "debunked"? A CM for Team Ninja, the developer that worked on the game stated it plainly what the reason was in said conversation on Facebook. Their publisher Koei Tecmo basically took that and turned it into PR speak "while consciously respecting and strategizing to...

Oh, but people are using this opportunity to talk about "ethics in gaming journalism". Here's a Call of Duty developer talking about it: https://twitter.com/ChanceGlasco/status/667458383600099328 Here's a BioWare developer talking about it: https://archive.is/IvowH Here's Boogie 2988...

You do realize how ridiculous you sound, right? I can't really figure out if this is satire or the usual Tumblr-dweller talk. http://www.historybyzim.com/2012/06/bathing-suit-arrests-chicago-1922/

It's a really bizarre attempt at excusing an obvious double standard that sometimes makes my head hurt, the argument doesn't even make any sense. And it's not even consistent within a single day with a single writer, which makes me believe that it's pandering Clickbait bullshit at the cost of...

It's not like this is a baseless thing, a lot of the outrage locusts usually jump from outrage to outrage, even if they often couldn't give a damn or don't have any personal interest in said work or product if further questioned: But the question itself is stupid. It's like asking why...

I thought Kojima stated rather clearly that he designed the character that way for cosplay purposes and figurine sales? http://cosplaymygame.com/collection/1525/sniper-quiet-in-metal-gear-solid-v-phantom-pain-designed-for-cosplay https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/quiet-cosplay...

While the author of this article is better at expressing his views and not descending into a moral panic argument, he still descends into morality at the end. Aside from the textures of the enemies and a bunch of animations there's not much of a mechanical or gameplay difference between the...
