How will the video game industry recover from this? Every copy of a game without stringent DRM is a lost sale, doesn't everyone know?

The word "loli" has been appropriated and reappropriated multiple times. At first it was from the story Lolita, a story about a horrible, fictional pedophile. Which was apparently picked up by Japan, where for some reason it was used for the word pedophile, instead of actually the word...

I guess it's a matter oh how you see words. Like censorship, people have different ideas of what censorship is. It's a bit hyperbole. But I feel that withholding games from customers unless they buy a closed platform is a bit like "hostage taking". Though that is a bit hyperbole. I feel that...

In some ways it does, and it some ways it doesn't. It's a good reason to buy a video game system if you like those games. No matter how terrible the Wii U hardware is from a price-performance standpoint, I'm not missing out on games like Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad...

Harada was just "trolling" or joking, obviously. That was pretty obvious from the beginning. He was having a bit of fun over a silly situation. A bit of cynical sarcasm, if you will. It does make you realize how we over here in the West who like Japanese video games aren't the only ones who...

Wow, you really could have fooled me about PG-13 with some of the things that Yahtzee an Jim Sterling say and do. But I can definitely at least understand with the pedophilia thing. It's a pretty sensitive subject. And in some cases, pornography, too. Thanks for helping me learn.

Chestnuts, mister! But yes... Capitalism is kind of... dirty.

Everything really is going free to play. I wonder if Final Fantasy XIV will go free to play. It seems to be one of the only subscription based MMORPGs left.

Not really. The game has plenty of that, if I wanted it. And plenty of other MMORPGs, if you're looking for it. The problem that bothers me is of the hypocrisy of the localizers. Saying they have reasons for making a certain decision, and then turning around and doing something else. To my...

I think that Nintendo should make something like an Nvidia Shield. A lot of people still like the idea of handhelds. And an Android handheld could probably do as good as a tablet. The Nvidia Shield didn't do terribly well. But neither did the Nvidia Shield tablet. It doesn't mean that there...

Has anyone tried playing Super Mario Bros. on a touchscreen? It's not fun. Mega Man is arguably even harder. You need serious precision for Nintendo's type of games. That touchscreens simply don't offer. Nintendo could definitely shake up their business, and the fact that phones are mostly...

PC gaming was in worrying shape when the XBOX 360 and it's generation started and before Steam became popular. A lot of traditional PC developers were moving to consoles. And many PC gamers were growing tired and wearisome over PC game development, distribution, and DRM. And many industry...

They don't break the law that I'm aware. And that wasn't given as one of the reasons. If they were, they would be in trouble at this very moment. Because the costumes that can be worn, are much, much showier than the armors commonly referred to as "censored". This video describes a lot of...

Maybe so. Words evolve, really. More like self-censorship. It's been commonly called "censorship". So I'm parroting other people's usage of the term.

In a way, it was to begin with. Giving one region a different version of the game. It was like Hirada with Tekken, "this is what you Westerners like" kind of move. Nobody was going to take them to court over a few lolis in those outfits. And the decision didn't bring many customers to the game...
