"We're making E3 for the people,"
8-peacock-8: Going to check this out.
tricobalt: At least BestBuy has figured out how to get people into the stores.
mariodk: Fixed the Title of ths post:
Nintendo wants to bring E3 to the public only in USA and lets forget about anywhere else

Mcgunn: I wouldn't doubt it if the money saved by the lack of a press conference pays for this. This is cool and I will go check it out.
OVERSKY: Oh my god. I work at a Best Buy in Canada and 3 weeks ago, my boss wished that this exact thing would happen. This is an amazing coincidence.

Today on Hard News, EA's new MOBA "Dawngate" and closing their Online Pass system, and Nintendo dooms Let's Play channels.
paindrain: Speak for yourself, because you didn't speak for me... I will heavily weigh this in the future, and as douchey as it is, I had no problem ever pirating games. I'm not a huge gamer, and would forgo gaming before I would drop major coin to any corrupted biz, and sadly that list gets longer and longer. By all means though, drop your cash and support bullshit decisions, it doesn't bother me!
TwistoFate: And yet your probably still excited for their future releases and are still going to buy their games ;)
TwistoFate: I'm sorry, but I still cannot see your point at all, LPs are very unlikely to create a steady source of income unless the person is super popular which is exceedingly hard to do with competition like Pewdipie, The Runaway Guys, and Nakateleeli. LPin CAN be a secure job, but right now it definitely isn't with game companies making sudden and surprising decisions left and right.
Also who in their right mind would start being an LPer to gain money anyway? History has shown that those who do something creative purely for money end up making something that is lackluster and disappointing. Most LPers start LPs to entertain and inform other gamers, they are either in college or already have a job so any income they get from their videos is just convenient.

TwistoFate: I totally agree, the less Sam the better. He is just a straight up jerk and not at all enjoyable to watch or listen to
Badalight: There are hundreds of lets players that use it as their main source of income - and some of them can EASILY provide for their families. The average LPer no... but someone like PewdiePie literally makes millions of dollars - of course he is by FAR the most popular but the point still stands. It's easily possible to be make well above minimum wage.
And if anything, lets playing is a more secure job than most nowadays. People are getting laid off left and right (just look at the game industry) but let players can't be laid off. The only thing they have to worry about are cases like these. It's an incredibly secure job under normal circumstances.

Let's see how much money it takes to usurp League of Legends grip on us all...
Flapperdoodle: Be careful MOBA fans... remember, this is EA we're talkin' here. I'd keep my distance.
Branch: I'll just stick to League
The Void: hmmm, F2P quality game with large playerbase vs B2P, or knowing EA P2P, that is likely glitchy, unbalanced and half-arsed attempted at fleecing consumers' wallets.
caboose_-1: 1) I suck at MOBAs; 2) I still don't know what a MOBA is or how it's different from Warcraft or anything like that; 3) I hope no one buys this so that EA gets the message that we hate them and don't want to contribute more money to them. Only downside is that it's unfair to the devs.
Kaepora22: I'll stick to my league and enjoy it. I'm not up to playing another Moba.

Today on Hard News, Gran Turismo 6 coming to the PS3, Brosie the Riveter, and Pac-Man returns.
Icipall: I can hear the wievers going: "Mommy, what's a bukkake?"
Amnesia: Sam is an amazing host! Let him do hard news, and I'll watch it every day :)
Metroidvania98: Man, I am starting to love Sam as the Hard news host even more. His delivery is awful, his puns are atrocious and the ending is never funny. But somehow it all just works :p
darkhyrulelord: Pfft. "Brosie the Riveter". Also, Sam, I'm sure you will ace it next time. (or see in you in a massively overly colorful jacket)
TwistoFate: Sam looks like Leisure Suit Larry in that suit

See how after the jump...
Anti_Hipster: I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, I believe that we're already that type of society. We're in third wave feminism. Fourth Wave feminism, which is what Sweden is nearly at, hopes to achieve all of the "privilege" that feminists say that white males have had. The hypocrisy is astounding. They say how horrible "privilege" is, and then make their goal to gain that very thing. If Fourth Wave feminism is as successful in America as first, second and third wave, then it's going to be a scary place here, or the Western world in general.
To further illustrate the point that we are already in the society you speak of, there was a quote that I like.
"To find out who's in charge, just find who you're not allowed to criticize".
Feminists and women definitely fit this bill. If you criticize feminism, you run risk of being called a "misogynist" or a "bigot".

spinner981: I try to get the people who are offended by such a thing to think about why they are offended by it. It comes down to their personal opinion and that is it, and their personal opinion isn't what makes something sexist. They need to understand that the reasons for their own complaining are pointless and arbitrary. People that see the world through their own made up ideals need to be told this non-stop or else we run the risk of becoming a society where personal feelings matter way to much and entitlement runs amok.
Molmoran: I think they should have given him a short tight shirt with a bit of under-pecs showing.
Everyone would like a slice of that pie.

ninjaeris13: Slow clap ladies, slow clap.
RealAlphaMail: Whenever I think of sexism I always think of double standards. Would I be insulted if the sexes were reversed? If yes then it could be considered sexist, but if my female boss had the male picture on her wall I wouldn't care in the slightest (aside from the hypocrisy, but that's beside the point). I'm also curious how the female employees would have felt if the poster had been the male version, I doubt they would have thought it sexist either. At the end of the day it's all about double standards, how can we have true equality with that attitude. That being said if it was just meant as a harmless joke and not a stab at sexism then it was pretty good (though if guys had done it we would have probably heard an uproar from the gay community).
