A real shame that Canada must now rely upon imported meat.
I had no idea our pornography was subject to Canadian content quotas to begin with and I have so many questions

Anyway, I think there's value in telling stories that are messy, or don't have perfectly nice endings, or that are otherwise difficult to take in. It's okay to be uncomfortable sometimes.

You know a game has the juice when people are still fighting over it every single day for 7 months after it comes out lol

Been struggling to finish this one a bit, but not through any fault of the game. I've just been sick. Anyways, Demonschool is great!

Part of the 30% cut that Valve takes is the implicit agreement that they'll protect developers from the hassle of dealing with individual payment providers, and if they're not actually willing to go to bat for us, why are we paying them so much again
Saw someone cite the Collective Shout thing and payment processors in regards to the Horse situation and say "Valve can't fight them by itself", and I think we maybe shouldn't be defending multi-billion dollar companies for arbitrary takedowns of artistic works and acting like they're the little guy

Guilty Gear will never die
I can't believe even after all of this time I'm still seeing Kliff 2D interactions I have never seen before

Feel like I've been screaming into the void a bit when I talk about how great Consume Me is and how people need to play it. Awesome to see something like this.
This was such a special video to make, and I really appreciate the Consume Me team being so generous with their time and ARTIFACTS! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfaM...

Honest analysis: as this poorly-applied policy can kill 75% of sales for a game like this, it's indicative of a wider, ongoing crisis for the creative potential of video games. Valve may not intend anti-art sanitizing, but that's the result.

Developers don't have much choice, but players still do.

FINISHED! THATS TOO MANY WORDS FOR ONE ARTICLE!

Posting it anyway.

I definitely think less of sucker punch that they immediately scrambled to punish someone for mocking hitler jr.

there was not even any PR to be gained from this, no sales boost, they just needed to make sure everyone knew they valued hitler jr. above most other people

And once you're on these people's radars, you don't leave it.

Either they keep tabs on you, or their fans do it for them, and any chance they can use your name for content (money) they do it.

Stand up for your employees.
