Why is this relevant? The article is about Palestinian activists fighting for LGBT rights for Palestine. Yes the rights of LGBT people in Palestine are not great .... But that's literally what this article is about, Palestinians fighting to make it better

This article doesn't interpret the Berlin interpretation correctly. The things the article says are "must haves" are actually just "high value factors" as the post says.

This list can be used to determine how roguelike a game is. Missing some points does not mean the game is not a roguelike. Likewise, possessing some points does not mean the game is a roguelike.

So while some of these are deemed important to roguelike, it can be a roguelike without all of those things.

Now personally I think the debate over the genre is silly, and I don't think the Berlin interpretation is really accurate anymore. But to be fair to it, it does not say a game has to have everything on that list. Spelunky is a roguelike. Idc what anyone says. Just because it isn't turn/grid based doesn't mean it isn't a roguelike. It has most all the other high value factors, and a handful of the low value factors as well.

Good mod tools

I mean I don't love either company but I'd argue Google is a much more shit company than epic lol

As a Seattle fan, I couldn't disagree more :)

If you're talking about the whole thing with dolphin almost being released on steam, it wasn't going to cost money. They weren't trying to monetize. They were just trying to have the download available on steam

Well basically these games would likely have not been on mobile at all. Netflix is publishing them for mobile. If I had to guess, I'd say that Netflix approached these devs and offered to publish for them and provide them money for being on their service. For the devs, it's free money for something they likely weren't considering in the first place (porting to mobile). I definitely wish the devs would publish themselves (if they have the means) but it's not how it's happening unfortunately. And fwiw they are on the play store. You just need to sign in with a Netflix account when the game boots up.

The games are native on mobile. You need a sub but they aren't streaming

I understand your point but I don't think city based teams have to be a toxic thing. Fandom for any team can be taken to the extreme, and I feel city based teams give fun ways to entice more people to care and have fun with it. Also, I mean pretty much every sport entity is corporate. Can't think of any esport team that isn't extremely corporate, city based or not.

Sad about this. I know it's fun to hate on overwatch, but the idea of an esports league being city based was really novel at the time. Ive always enjoyed overwatch, and despite overwatch 2s monetization being absolutely atrocious, the gameplay changes I have enjoyed for the most part

One of my best friends died in the 2015 one. I hate seeing this happen again. I really hope the toll isn't as bad this time 💔
