Let's see how far the rabbit hole goes, shall we? Because indeed, we are all about ethics in game journalism.

She's a blogger, but let's face it. Shit sites like polygon, kotaku and Vice are all part of the problem that almost ruined videogames.

I don't think Battleborn is that bad. I think it's the best thing Gearbox has made, which isn't saying that much.
The story was none existant though.

If the severs where a desolate wasteland full of game "journalists" trying to tell us the game still has players.

Because a rat (Gearbox) tried to pick a fight with a whale (Blizzard)

thats why. If the rat was content with eating it's cheese instead of trying to shittalk the whale in the Alantic Ocean on a papercraft boat, they wouldn't have gotten rekt so hard and may have found a niche with other cheese lovers.

It was just groping because arabs thought Germany is just like in those german porn videos on the internet.
The thing is, britbongs like to blow it up in order to cover up Rotherham, where immigrants raped children for years, made them accuse their fathers who then ended up in jail and the police didn't do anything because it would've been racist.
If you're looking for a western country to rape in, you should go to the UK.

Battleborn at its core is a neat idea clouded by terrible execution.

Killed all potential hype by trying to attack blizzard.

Devs refuse to actually engage in discussion with their playbase.

Been extremely slow to patch both performance and balance issues.

Killed their matching by removing the lvl filter from matches.

Introduced a cash shop instead of pushing out much needed fixes.

Recently announced another matchmaking overhaul which will remove the ability to choose a game mode so that they can force their remaining playerbase into 1/2 queues together in hopes of speeding up the queue times.

Why is women being "badass" somehow a virtue? Women are not supposed to be "badasses" nor does it somehow make them better characters if they are. Rather than being proud of all the great traits of feminity, you're trying to have women compete with men for the role of masculinity.
