Chat Transcript:

7:00 PMAndrew Eisen​Hi Chaos. Waiting on EZK. We’ll start soon.

7:02 PMaddictedtochaos​What’s everyone playing this weekend? I’m running through Borderlands 2 for the billionth time.

7:03 PMaddictedtochaos​No one is as bad as Koei Tecmo. With their $92 season passes, yes multiple passes for DOA.

7:08 PMaddictedtochaos​Me too, I’m far less likely to buy games that do things like this.

7:12 PMaddictedtochaos​But, they have to make ALL THE MONEY.

7:16 PMaddictedtochaos​People actually defend the practice, these people are stupid.

7:19 PMaddictedtochaos​Only for single player though.

7:20 PMaddictedtochaos​Just because you can afford it doesn’t mean you should support the practice.

7:23 PMaddictedtochaos​Careful you’ll give them ideas.

7:27 PMaddictedtochaos​Devs just need to be more responsible with their budgets.

7:33 PMaddictedtochaos​People just fail upwards

7:34 PMAnberye​That Lupin the II trailer looked good

7:34 PMaddictedtochaos​It looks fantastic

7:36 PMaddictedtochaos​Toriyama

7:37 PMaddictedtochaos​Did you see SquareEnix is talking about possibly remaking DQ9 for Switch?

7:37 PMAndrew Eisen​I did not, no.

7:44 PME. Zachary Knight​I can hear you but the feed has paused

7:44 PMaddictedtochaos​Zachary.exe has encountered a problem. Lol

7:50 PMaddictedtochaos​Yes it was on Wii U

7:54 PMlittlegittel​I like “LightSwitch” I’m on board w that

7:55 PMaddictedtochaos​There is definitely a market for the Lite. It will do very well in Japan and with people that prefer handheld gaming. Definitely not for me though.

8:01 PMaddictedtochaos​Switch Pro should be a strictly TV system

8:03 PMlittlegittel​that is a missed opportunity

8:10 PMaddictedtochaos​They did for 3DS

8:18 PMlittlegittel​you already have gone into spoilers. too late dudes

8:19 PMlittlegittel​but, bro and I have already had this talk, so I am staying

8:23 PMaddictedtochaos​Lizard
