The lead designer however WAS for a large chunk of development (up until mid last year I think?) a far right gamergater. So, generally not great.

In the end, JKR is actively using her influence to make the life of vulnerable people worse. Actively influencing politics and emboldens transphobes to violent actions with her bigoted views. giving money or attention to anything related to her shows companies that they can keep making deals with her, and keeps giving…

heh, my girlfriend was so bothered by the locked teapot while I was all “oh thank god I don’t have to worry about that right now” :P Helps that all characters there were low friendship

“Game delays due to the coronavirus lockdowns”
Honestly this was a positive for me. That big break was wonderful. Got to catch up on things, didn’t feel pressured to do anything. Got to go at it at my own pace. It was heavenly. Aaaaand that was immediately followed by a period of way too many events simultaneously and…

Dude, me and my players are all investing in getting me books, minis, other tools for me, and dice for everyone. + we’re paying for a D&DBeyond subscription. How is that not monetized enough???
Maybe you’re just not making those attractive enough purchases for everyone. That’s it.

Like I spend all that on D&D, but the…

oh a sufficiently big group of kids, with a lot of free time, an enormous want to play videogames together, and nothing better to do, can achieve pretty much anything.

Also there was an older sibling helping out :P

for millenials like me, imagine doing all the same things, except we were 10 to 18 years old :P

god it was so good when the switch to flat panels happened. Way too late. But still such a good switch.

LAN parties were the best (apart from whenever the guys got obsessed about the porn collection on someone’s PC). I remember one party where we spanned to buildings and the courtyard in between, where one person had to play on a laundry machine, others were outside with a blanket covering them. Ah the struggle with so…

Bar, nothing since I don’t drink alcohol. If for some reason I do end up meeting a friend at a bar, whatever a single non-alcoholic drink costs once a blue moon :P
I pay for 2 streaming services at once, so likely around 25€?
I’ve only gone to a concert like twice in my life (and the tickets were always presents).

I…

I cant even imagine having that much disposable income :P I do spend some money on genshin, but it’s like 5€-15€ per year.

Although I totally get the one saying mental health services are too expensive, and this at least helps them keep going.

As I said, everyone should earn more

First, it wasn’t 5000 per hour. Second, every single post I say “everyone working directly on a game should earn more”. She asked for residuals apparently. She should get them. So should everyone else working on a game.

Others made the point already, but just adding my own perspective. My salary is theoretically a pretty good one. For the country I come from (but don’t live in) my salary is outright upper class level. But because of where I live, my partner not having income at the moment, and other personal circumstances, more money…

I’m honestly wondering if she realizes how what she says sounds. Her newest statement was supposed to support her case, but very obviously makes her look worse. In the original video she somehow jumped from talking about how she was underpaid for Bayonetta, to the offer she was given for the cameo role. I wonder if…

No matter what, she should get royalties. Everyone working on a game in some way should get royalties. Also everyone should be paid more. Literally everyone. That’s my point.

always an ass, doesn’t change that he was an ass in the middle of an important topic that reached out further than his usual followers.

You have to consider it in the context of freelance work. Any one job has to pay enough to keep you going for a LONG time, since you don’t know when the next job will show up. Also all game devs should be earning a lot more anyway, so that shouldn’t be an argument for keeping any particular role from earning more.
I…

This is just so messy. She was definitely unclear, she made it sound like the 4000 were for all sessions as the main character (I double checked, assuming she had been misunderstood, but no, she definitely made it sound like that), and AFAIK didn’t mention the 10000 - 15000 value. This makes it clearer and actually…

“We fully support unionization (not that we can stop it at this point), so here’s a bunch of crap lacking context that hopefully stops all others of you from unionizing. Hope it works”
