I'm just as sad as the rest of you that the internet stopped being a living book and became a living TV but let's not pretend that's not what happened.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.
He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

I’ve been seeing this cover over and over and I just…
In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Oh my gosh I’ve been waiting for people to wake up to this for so long.
These games feel like prime examples of “we don’t know what we actually want but our design doc is full of words like aspirational, dynamic, epic and fresh” that weren’t cancelled mid-development.

It's akin to "You know what they do to gay people in [Muslim country] right? Which is why we have to bomb them all."
Always head-spinning how the venezuelan people (or whoever) are innocent victims of a reign of terror at home but if they try to flee and come here they become sinister illegal aliens. In this case the transformation happens within two sentences
Lindsey Graham says the Pope better get on the “right side of history” and support Trump’s push to use military force to overthrow the government of Venezuela

People are rightly pointing out that "cancellation" of the type suggested here doesn't actually exist (unless you're the Dixie Chicks), but I think the more pertinent point is how notable it is that every single media outlet imaginable is devoting more and more time to lionizing sex pests
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?
