Nintendo's Next Mobile Game Will Be 'Dr. Mario World,' Developed in Partnership With LINE

OMG! How is this game even being developed?

What do you mean, how is the game being developed. Obviously someone is sitting down in front of a package of development software and creating the game.

The current state of affairs makes this games choice of theme all the more galling.

Okay, I'll bite, what are you talking about?

With the opioid crisis in full swing why would someone offer a game that will obviously be a gateway to someone stealing their mom's Ambien. Did we learn nothing from Rush Limbaugh's hearing loss from OxyContin? Seriously, what's wrong with the world?

Wait, what? PLEASE tell me this is a horrible example of being sarcastic. Do you REALLY believe that the average humans brain is so frail that the mere mention of pills IN A GAMING CONTEXT will force people to take opiates? That's REALLY the stand you are taking, that we can transfer personal responsibility to game makers for the bad decisions a small percentage of people make? THAT'S the stand you want to take knowing that this BS position has been tried and failed numerous times over the past three decades (think of everything video games have been blamed for, and then found NOT responsible for)...

Dr. Nathan Poe proved conclusively that games about pills lead to real addiction with real pills. He's written many peer reviewed papers on the subject matter.

Oh, show me his double (or triple) blind study with sufficient participation to be over 90% accurate. I'll wait.

I'm starting a Change.org petition to get this game banned before it even debuts. Who's with me? I'm pretty sure Nathan Poe will sign on. A game about pills? The creators should be in jail.

People like you that irrationally blame should be in jail.

Bless your heart. There can't be a more perfect example of Poe's Law than your post. It's fantastic. Thank you.
A smidgen of intellectual curiosity could have saved you a whole lot of keystrokes. Do me a favor. Google Nathan Poe. All the contextual clues were there, yet we still get your masterpiece. Muchas danke.

I did, not a damned thing showed up that had ANYTHING to do with the subject...

"Muchas danke."
