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.

    Hey man, you might be new to the internet, but I was around when indie games were taking off.

    Fez, slenderman, and even journey all served to show what people were willing to accept. They were all considerably lower quality, cheaper, and easier to make than AAA games.

    Hollow Knight is just the latest entry into that category.

    Try playing some older AAA games to see how much effort was put into them vs. what you've been conditioned to accept now. There's a world of difference between Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Hollow Knight.

    You just don't see it because you've never played those older games because you're new to the world and part of the consumer bandwagon.

    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.

    My heart goes out to everyone that was censored by a dogpile of reports.

    Moderators can go fuck themselves, and moderation shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

    They only have themselves and their abuse to blame.

    The goal is to keep opinions we don’t want fragmented and from coalescing in to a single voice for long enough that the memes we do want can, at which points they’ve gotten a head start on going viral and tend to capture a larger-than-otherwise share of media attention.

    Interesting. There's definitely a concerted effort to censor information on the internet.

    I don't think it's just Russians. I also believe a lot of useful idiots are perpetuating censorship because it's expected of them.

    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.
