Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

This is from earlier this month. But it didn't really hit until seeing more Suicide Squad details.

"Our focus," he continued, "is on transforming our biggest franchises from largely console and PC based with three-four year release schedules to include more always on gameplay through live services, multiplatform and free-to-play extensions, with the goal to have more players spending more time on more platforms."

Gotham Knights is a example. Get ready to see Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Batman, and Mortal Kombat all get that "live services" treatment.

I don’t have melanin on my list of fighting game criteria

Considering it's like pulling teeth to get any kind of favorable representation in games these days, especially out of eastern devs, it's a larger consideration than you'd think-- and frankly, with a response like that, I don't expect you to have thought about any of the fuckery in this space that might shift a non-settler's priorities. When the likes of Granblue or Under Night has Leroy Smiths, Eddie Gordos, Zasalamels, Jax and Jacqui Briggses, and Darriuses running around every iteration, then we can talk. Til then, I don't fuck with anime fighters, and barely fuck with JRPGs.

Live servicing things that never needed it is a much more recent irritant.
