Schreier got “respectable” status for reporting on BioWare after anthem failed and all the damage was already done. I hate that people haven’t trouble making that connection
I liked the totally normal adult middle class Seattle engineer that thinks it’s totally safe to hose down bums in your yard
She's got that "hapa" mindset
Wtf even is that!? It was just like a fun surf-adjacent sticker a lot of the Asian dudes had when I was a kid. Dunno when it twisted in to like this just miserable Internet community
I mean you should only be worried about Communism in the big tech era if your definition of communism is as loose as the modern definition of racism to be honest.
“Buy bitcoin and own the libs”
I don’t know if the letter should be trusted at face value. It’s conveniently positioned so that Activision can have its cake and eat it too. The staff, who we had thought we’re all frat boy rapists just a day before news of this letter starts circulating, are now portrayed as virtuous and blame shifts away from the company’s actual assets and one to a few bad apples. The company is both hero and villain thanks to this convenient letter story that’s getting major traction in spaces we already know are astroturfed to hell. Maybe that’s too much of a conspiracy theory though
On top of that, I am convinced that the only reason The Last Airbender slipped through the cracks is because there are no white people in it.
I was going to say Black Panther was incredibly based if you actually paid attention to it but no, no you might be on to something here.
Reminds me of when they toyed with taxing text messages a few years back when it was obvious everyone would just shift to “free” messaging services
Reminder that Microsoft hired that totally ironic spirit cooking lady to advertise the roll out a new product like just last year.
Interesting until he starts shilling bitcoin. Like yeah, bro, I’m totally going to be able to buy broccoli with my shitcoins after the world economy collapses
I tried to tell em, but they didn’t listen. It was never going to stop at cigarettes.
I’m fighting the urge to watch it and see how bad they did my boy he man
they won’t do the typical Hollywood things with this movie.
We can only hope. I was watching the trailer today and my first thought was they’re going to be destroyed by “white savior” accusations. Would be a very special case if the studio somehow resists countering that
The latter. From Ars Technica:
The report pointed directly to the company's battle.net online service team, where "women who were not 'huge gamers' or 'core gamers' and not into the party scene were excluded and treated like outsiders."
Yeah, wtf. It got past it’s prime like the Simpsons but it was a quality show for a good while
Didn’t think I could like Brandi Love any more than I did
Harsh but fair
Hilarious that this was in a country where words are illegal
I think this is ironic though because Cyberpunk at its core was initially about a “nerd” that did a lot of drugs and had a hot Asian robot-ninja girlfriend. All the extra bullshit about corporatism or socialism or whatever was tacked on after
I dunno, bro. Literally every real life woman I’ve known has an embarrassing “I jumped a lady with a big clit” story
I wouldn’t agree that it is controversial here
Ehhhh. Squeenix has been in such a tragic fucking state for so long that I actually believe he meant it how it’s being reported
I’m normally on board with this kind of sentiment but tricking girls in to a a doomed industry with an exceptionally shitty work-life balance isn’t exactly a sign of female supremacy.
