Edward Snowden is a hero.

The rest of these parasites are scum that need to be purged. They're literally getting paid 6 figure salaries (our tax dollars) to protect child rapists.

Why the fuck does anything get to be redacted from these files?

Of course they push tariffs through but raising taxes on the ruling class is never mentioned.

Outlawing holocaust denial is dumb as fuck.

Japan was literally worse than the Nazis during World War 2, but we can think or say whatever we want about them.

I'm guessing the news site won't provide the original video, but let me check.

Edit: My expectations were correct.

It's the consumer bandwagon.

The luck involved is that enough people found out about his game, played it, then recommended it to others who did the same.

They released a solid game with fun gameplay, great music, and an eye-catching art style. They priced the game competitively, even considering international pricing. All of this seems like choices that were made with intention, not the roll of a dice.

Okay, going with your logic, what about the games that have all of this and still are commercial failures? There is literally no shortage of them, even if you personally haven't heard of them.

He's definitely taking the wrong approach by trying to catch lightning in a bottle.

Yes. The internet is a huge part of this issue.

Just don't take the losers on the internet seriously and you're good to go.

Always keep in mind that a good deal of the people you come across on forums and social media are chronically online. They can't function in the real world with real consequences, so they are stuck acting like an idiot to strangers.

Interesting theory, but I have a better one.

This is part of the concerted effort to make sure as many people do nothing with their lives as possible. There's a culture of loserdom where people literally only play video games with their lives. Such a loser should never be taken seriously unless you want to end up like them.

No it's not.

The only way to get better at things is to do them. While losers were playing video games to get their instant gratification, this winner was working towards a skill that they could use and build for the rest of their life.

Out of everyone criticizing him, I'd wager less than 10% have any knowledge at all of game development. They will never get that knowledge because they're losers who are afraid to learn. Learning means admitting you don't know and coming to terms with all the time you've wasted on bullshit.

I miss the days when gaming wasn't cool.

I've noticed a lot of people who give advice online can't think for themselves and therefore cannot tolerate anyone doing anything differently from them.

Once I recognized that such an idiot exists and is prevalent on online forums, it became very easy to write them off whenever I see them.

The average internet user is about as smart as the average person these days. We need to dig in order to find intelligence; it's not the norm.

I guarantee you, every loser making one of those comments doesn't do shit with their lives.

They can't comprehend that in order to get better at things, you have to practice them.

Their lives consist of working, sleeping, and playing video games. It's pathetic.
