The writer, drawing attention to his own personal sensitivity, is doing so to the detriment of actual artists who created a game meant to be fun. He’s doing this through a platform with thousands or millions of readers and his message has been amplified.

As a result, he’s attempting to make a very personal sensitivity bigger than it rightfully should be all due to a perceived slight following a prior conversation with the creator.

This guy feels scorned...

But what are the repercussions for Art in general if artists start to excessively cave to the demands of the offended and their pandered dogpiles?

Is uncomfortable art not art? Where is the line drawn? It’s a slippery slope. This guy who wrote the article is really blowing it out of proportion with the intention of hurting the potential sales of a game created by fellow human beings who put their hearts and souls into the work. If the entire game existed to shade people wi...

It’s the power of an established platform.

If he had no power, then why is the writing and the bs within up for discussion?

Having an audience is power.

“Community” is such a stretch. The PlayStation crowd vs Team Xbox in places such as N4G are worse than Republicans vs Democrats in real life (US).

Morons on this site aside, let’s look at the facts: $399 is a generally well accepted price point for a new game console. PS3 had a rocky start due to their pricing and Xbox One had a similarly rocky start. I personally chose PS4 over Xbone because it was $100 cheaper and more powerful (and no mandatory Kinect) despite being a 36...

There’s open source development tools available, you know. I challenge you to assemble a team and create something better. I’ll wait.

Look at the Monday morning quarterback here. I challenge you to create something yourself instead of mindlessly commenting on the efforts of people with actual talent.

I say, why not?

But with a caveat; as long as it best serves the story.

There’s too much art nowadays that exists solely to pander to what they think society wants. I just want a good story. I don’t care if the character is XYZ demographics, if the story and gameplay are good, I’ll play it. But those attributes should be supporting details secondary to the conflict and plot at hand.

It was a great price for a weekend in December, like $40 for the year

I know, right? It’s not like they have people working on updates or maintenance or anything. The servers don’t cost any money to keep up. The entire thing manafested out of thin air, working great from the getgo. No human involvement. No salaries to pay or anything like that. It was made, entirely for your enjoyment, and is magically maintained and updated and that’s all free to Sony.

I mean, may as well make all the games we play free as well. And Netflix? What a sham. Sh...

I don’t care who “wins” and I don’t think most do either. I have my ps4. New games come out. I play them. At this point in time, there’s no way I’d ever buy an Xbox

@Purrfection - Companies have no obligation to consumers. They have obligations to their stakeholders and use consumers as a means to reach those obligations.

So again, what's the benefit in that for nVidia?

"Good for customers." is an awful answer since that doesn't equal more units moved for nVidia. If anything, this would be a detriment to them.
