At this point I'm going to Ladbrokes and betting against everything Kotaku promotes. They are like Jim Cramer of the gaming industry.

I've been playing Minecraft off and on since the Beta. I usually play the "All the mods" packs when they launch.
I do not understand how people get so emotionally invested in an IP.
If it isn't a good movie who cares? Just spend your time doing something else.
Can't speak for everyone, but the reason that I care when one of my favorite IPs has a terrible movie, is because the terrible movie ensures that a good one will never be made.
They did a great job with Fallout, and now they are making a second season.
Then there's Borderlands.
I still haven't seen it, but I already know that the Borderlands movie I would have loved will never exist.
And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers "well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years".
The Wing Commander and Dungeon Siege treatment.
It wouldn't have surprised me if WOTC dropped D&D as a brand if Honor Among Thieves had flopped.
I wish they would have. They've treated d&d terribly.
