I don’t know what they intend to do with the new building but replacing something is never a waste of time or resources if the existing item doesn’t give you what you want, no matter the shape it’s in.

Wait they would tear THAT building down?? It’s still quite modern looking, you wouldn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Is there issue with the actual building?? Or is simply because it’s not a skyscraper?

Specifically speaking about this case...if you spend what amounts to a week’s worth of salary (or more) for many people on loot boxes, you need to recognize that you may have a gambling problem and potentially seek help. That’s not normal, healthy behavior, and unfortunately it’s the exact type of behavior that…

Honestly, I really appreciate the maturity and nuanced consideration Cole is displaying here.

I have never, in my life, purchased a loot box or anything of the kind—but I can kinda see where people might be into them—and how someone who’s into the idea and has either addiction or impulse control issues could overspend…

That name CAN’T be a coincidence.

The longtime president of Nintendo of America is stepping down on April 15, to be replaced by marketing man Doug Bowser...

Something something Bowser kidnaps Shigeru Miyamoto.

Take your star from a day 1 Destiny player.

So I’m listening to this weeks Splitscreen, hearing Kirk, Jason, and Maddy talk about Anthem...and though I haven’t played the final release yet since I’m playing on PS4, I do understand the criticisms and complaints.

What I would like to say, though, is that though it seems to need a lot of work, with these kinds of…

to be replaced by marketing man Doug Bowser

Did you just... tell the guy that actually did the thing that the thing doesn’t take the time to plan they said it took them? Then proceed to rearrange words to repeat what they said back to them?

25 bucks for the opportunity to pay even more money to play a free game while amatuers teach childen archery nearby sounds significantly worse than an empty lot. At least you are less likely to get an arrow in the eye.

This is what a fest/con looks like when planned by amateurs. Look people it takes a significant amount of time to pull off a good convention. It takes a minimum of 2 1/2 years to properly plan one, and that is assuming there are no major delays.

No one should have had to make this into a real sign...

I’ve done the same, and I’m not hurting - today. Tomorrow could be a different story though, and we both would have no other leverage than to say “I’m leaving”.

Even within my union I negotiate to receive better. I’m not just sitting idly by while others make those decisions for me. The collective bargaining is to protect workers who are skilled at their craft who may not be good at negotiating and to stop people in positions of power from exploiting their employees.

Over here in Germany, Hamburg to be exact, the CEOs of all major game makers have uttered words similar to these: If you want to unionize we will shut down the whole company immediately.
Same goes for even only electing a “Betriebsrat” (a special position through which all firings have to proceed and who has a say in…

You know what, I’m gonna respond to your grey ass because this needs explaining. Unions didn’t cause the decline of US steel and car making, shitty business practices did. American industry rode high on a superiority complex and failed to upgrade facilities or, in the case of auto makers, make even halfway decent cars…

EVERYONE SHOULD JOIN A UNION

I don’t work in game development, but elsewhere in the software world.
