It would be hilarious if the FNAF movie bombs because the market is already flooded with movies using the same premise from abandoned scripts

Acti-Blizz made $5.75 BILLION in 2020 off microtransactions, dlc, services, etc. None of that includes actual game sales. Their total 2020 revenue was $8.09 Billion.

That $18 Million in hush money they paid is precisely 0.31% of $5.75 Billion, and 0.22% of their entire 2020 revenue.

Sorry, seemed like you were suggesting that avoiding this meant avoiding the creations of all horrible people. I’m just pointing out that it’s possible to avoid the works of some horrible people while choosing to enjoy works of other horrible people, for example someone might choose to boycott Blizz but still choose…

It’s not like trying to make the world a better place is an all or nothing dichotomy.

“Think of the jobs” isn’t really an argument, because by that logic it’s unethical to not buy every game.

There’s criticizing their actions and the position they take, and then there’s criticizing the person for whatever you’re projecting on them. Power and career politician life? She didn’t run for shits and giggles.

Yes, she has values, but she’s clearly gunning for power and the career politician life.

When I first heard this explanation, years ago, for why evangelicals love to slobber all over the state of Israel, I thought it was a ridiculous theory. I mean, it’s about as stupid an explanation as I’ve seen on the internet. Surely, nobody is really that delusional. I thought it was just virtue signaling on the part…

oh noes she failed an impossible purity test, we’d better eat her

I absolutely loved this episode because of how insanely silly it was and the utter committal to it. Also I did laugh a lot, so since the comedy worked for me, it helped the episode along. The God of Partying is just such a natural gimmick for Thor and he was so enjoyable that for once I didn’t find Captain Marvel…

Throw the book at him, it’s over due (sorry, librarian joke...)

“The Innocent will get hurt the most...” is always the argument against boycotting.

But The Innocent are already getting hurt, which is why the boycott is happening.

It sucks that the path to breaking these cycles sometimes results in more innocent people getting hurt. But if The Guilty don’t feel punished and suffer…

I’m a dev, and boycotting doesn’t hurt us. We are paid a salary to make a game. Sometimes we get bonuses based on that game’s performance, but in my decade-long career, I’ve never received one. We’re paid to make the games, but everything after that task is done has very little effect on us overall.

“boycotting the games doesn’t hurt AB nearly as much as it hurts the developers”

they’re in full damage control which kills me because instead of protecting, ya know, real world living breathing human women, they’re cleaning up risque pictures or immature(usually bad) jokes from old content

I liked it. Arguably darker than Fury’s week but still light enough somehow that it was just a bit of fun with a What If concept.

For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life, but for me?

Wait a minute...
