Oh look, YouTube did something that upset everybody again. As videos are being flagged as inappropriate for monetization, all eyes are on YouTube’s guidelines for “ad-friendly” content, as well as the crapshoot bots that unpredictably enforce them. Because, y’know, automated systems are great at determining context.
Sterling’s little birdies are tweeting secrets again, this time bringing the delectable stories behind Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s cash-grab elements. How much warning did Eidos Montreal get about the microtransactions? Exactly why was Breach mode included? And what about the next Deus Ex game? The Jimquisition has naughty secrets to…
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is yet another victim of this industry’s unchecked avarice. It’s an ironic victim at that, given the series’ themes. So, let’s chat about the preorder bullshit and microshenanigans that inevitably dominated the game’s post-launch discussions. Oh… oh Square Enix…
