I feel like you chose the wrong Moogle for FFXIV which would have knocked it out of the park. You chose a specific Moogle for FFXI, so I’ll give you Good King Moggle Mog.

The worst thing to me is that it’s not even usually that! Sure, there’s the hookers and blow, but most of the cash just goes into holding funds, just making numbers bigger to make them bigger for that one person. At least the blow gets money moving into the economy!

I’ll double what Kama said. I had to log into Facebook way back when I set up my Quest 2. Had to tell it not to scan my friends because I could care less what Aunt Carol’s nephew is playing on her account, and until Avatar integration, that was literally it. I’ve had to relogin a couple of times since setup but it’s…

I worked on one of the worst rated games on a certain console generation. We were working with still in development dev hardware with incomplete first party standards and the project was slated to be 12 weeks from pre-pro to submission. We’re talking E.T. level actual dev time once learning the dev tools and what we…

Fans of the blue bomber should check out 20XX if they want their X-series fix.And if they’re ok with constantly updated and improving Early Access, 30XX is as good at this point or better. Both are rogue-likes, but if you’re not into that 30XX has a Mega Mode which creates static seeds and level selects just like a…

Nope. There’s a crank on the side that moves Pac-Man and the ghosts through a rotation of movement. That’s about it.

While I think that unions should be about anywhere there’s a possibility of worker’s rights and livelihoods not being respected, and one at LMG wouldn’t go wrong, this is a bit of a mischaracterization.

In this case, it’s not a rental situation. As well, even if it *was*, most people aren’t renting from their employer. Completely different situation.

Can you please provide information as to what percentage a town needs to be owned in order to qualify? That may be difficult, since such a lodging situation doesn’t have one, but maybe I’m missing something. Do you consider the Google Campus one? They provide lodging, food, and basics on campus for permanent…

No, it’s not “Guy buys his friends houses”. This is “Guy buys his employees, who may or may not be friends, places to stay around him, which improves accessibility.” If they weren’t employees, that’d be one thing. But they are, which necessarily puts the power mechanic someplace SUUUUUPER shady.

Ok. You’re right. It’s not a ‘Company Town’. It’s an Emotionally Induced Indentured Servitude Corporate Living Space. My bad.

Because Mr. Beast has essentially created a company town, which isn’t a great thing. Not that there aren’t other ones around (See: Facebook and Google). The thing about those is that they’re “temporary” lodgings while you’re working for the company. So you go into things knowing that you shouldn’t get too comfortable.…

This argument wouldn’t hold up, as a ruling that digital files somehow don’t count would literally be fatal for all of modern computing.

In a totally separate comment from the other... That Final Fantasy II description... That’s literally the (non-played) intro to the the game. I mean, it’s the start of the plot, but it’s like saying that God of War’s plot is “Kratos lives in a cottage with his son, thinking about days past. Greet an unexpected visitor…

Electronics Boutique was ALWAYS overpriced compared to everywhere else back in the SNES/Genesis days. I always hear people bring up EB as the pricing base, but... it never was. If you wanted games for non-insane prices, you went to Kaybee Toys, Toys R Us, Lionel Playworld, or pretty much *anywhere* else. SO many times…

Exactly. Great that you’re not doing this moving forwards. But I literally handed your company over $100 dollars and your response was “Yeah, thanks. Here’s the trash bin. Give us more money so you can play the current stuff instead.” Until I can play my old content I paid for, Bungie gets no more of my money. Don’t…

S’alright, all works out in the end!

Minimum wage in the US is 7.25 an hour. 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year is 15,080 *per year*. Not per month. And they’re not working a full 52 weeks with holidays. No game industry employee (other than maybe poor poor testers) are making that though.

Standard gaming industry rate is ~10K per person when calculating budget, which takes into account hardware/software, place to work, wages, etc. So that’d be 50 people working for 1 month. Or 70 people working for about 3 weeks. So yeah, definitely not hiring in an NA/EU country.

Sure, sure. But the whole melodrama with Allison happened before that whole issue. It was odd from the jump to me. They hit the Hotel Obsidian and the first thing Allison does is call home? Wha? Then Viktor’s all “You should go home.” Did *no one* think that through? That’s something that Five would/should have jumped…
