I'm not sure what the big deal is. People are charging money for a thing and other people are questioning the value and intent of said thing. The developer doesn't even seem miffed by it, not sure why Patrick has to come in and be offended on their behalf.
I've seen that kind of response from the RPS review too and it's really annoying. It's OK to criticize something even if it means well, you don't have to couch it in how bad you feel about doing so

I think the whole thing about "profiting off death" is a very shallow view on what art can represent and also a crass interpretation of the developer's personal story.
Ugh, who is even offended? Isn't it newsworthy that in the current state of video games, the sole existence of a game about cancer is questioned?
Most video games are about death and killing, it's such a dumb argument.

That's a nice list, I'm still not even sure what my 10 games would be.
I just noticed that post and now I'm really confused.

Also sounds like some existing features are probably going to get cut in favour of new stuff.

You should delete that link.
NSFW warnings have been so watered down that you always get taken aback when you get something like this.

Eh, wasn't that bad.
But something's up with Death's cache that's for sure.

Well, I deleted the link but you can't blame me guys. I freaked the fuck out, I thought I was hallucinating for a moment. I still am seeing that shit, which is weird because it's normal on Mozilla and Internet Explorer.
eh, not my thing honestly

I'm really glad that they're still doing MGScanlon. I need to hurry up and finish the MGS V story missions, though I enjoyed taking my time and just enjoying how great that game is.
yeah I was thrown off by this. I thought they have a new mailbag.
and Drew's voice was high pitched, but it was Ryan
Don't ruin it for him. He has to suffer it on his own. This is a perfect non spoilery summary, but I'll hide it anyway:

The ending twist is stupid in the right way. It's biggest problem is the execution is garbage. The entire story is dumb, but I actually like the ending twist because of how stupid it is.

As long as they don't cut Demo Derby or UPF I'm fine with whatever comes.
This is great.
There is nothing wrong with it. It is just the way it is just thrown in there. Almost like they were trying to plug a hole too big to be plugged.

We'll see. For me, the best MGS story stuff was in the MGS 1 and MGS 4. Regardless, I'm not going to dislike this game if it has a poor ending. I'm just anxious to be able to watch MGScanlon without being spoiled.
I think the bigger thing with the ending is.
Kojima was never going to portray Big Boss as a true villain. Ever since MGS3, he's seen him as a misunderstood hero. It's funny because his attempts to make him misunderstood have made BB seem like an insane asshole. The 'fall of Big Boss' fans desperately wanted both has already happened and something Kojima was never prepared to deliver.

This would be great because the bombcast will actually release on tuesday for me.
Yup. all that too.
Men also didn't become demons, Medic turned out to be a pretty good guy in the game. That pivot at the end was totally unearned.
But didn't MGSV's ending
depict Big Boss as a villain? He uses people for his own gain, exerting his influence for control. Going so far as to remove another's identity and agency. I saw Miller's tantrums to pretty much represent what he would detest in Big Boss, as a "good guy."

I feel like I missed something.
It's literally true because it's being sold, but one has to wonder if the people complaining would be offended by a commercially sold poem, novel, or movie about a loved one's death. I'm going to guess no.

I've gotta get off this page because I tend to accidentally click spoilers since they're so often misused for jokes.

Features getting cut?
RIP GBEast Playdates ;_;7
That good taste at #1. SC's definitely one of the greatest JRPGs in recent memory. Also, I think that's where Cold Steel is gonna end up for me too, maybe a bit higher for all the same reasons you listed. Its a lot like Hunter x Hunter where it does everything right for an introduction/establishment of the characters and world for the rest of the series, but it's still an introduction and can definitely drag at times.
