Ebay, resale, flipper, dick nose, assholes.

Woke: Devs, don’t make games about minority identities you can’t personally speak to, as that is appropriation and you’ll likely screw it up.

I mean, RE lady is an antagonist and FemShep can be gay, right? So...not sure about these examples.

Schreier keeps doing this “development didn’t start until...” thing in these “I talked to people” articles and I don’t think he’s aware of how misleading that is. Tons of successful games get reworked late. And things getting reworked doesn’t mean “development didn’t start” on them.

Let’s move past the usual “I’m not up on every single video game cultural discussion so I’m going to make fun of it by pretending anyone with knowledge of it is an idiot” discussion that tends to surface around her around streamers. Yes people like these people. Yes there’s probably something you don’t understand…

You know how every generation has some special word that literally just means “cool”?

That’s a dangerous opinion to express out loud because people will howl over it, but from where I’m sitting, I’m old enough to remember when nobody knew or cared about the private lives of the people who created their media, and media criticism was purely about the work and not a moral referendum on whether the…

What Twitter left doesn’t realize is that the collective outrage directed at her has no bearing in the real world. They’re going after Rowling with the same fury they would Trump, a man who not only actively encourages white nationalism, but fawns over dictators and authoritarians, orders protestors be gassed so he…

This criticism seems misplaced to me. Neither the Mr. Warburton interview nor the AV Club post have taken the angle of “Check out what wild and crazy things Anne Heche is up to now!”

What the hell porn movie do you live in?  lol

Yep. And it’s truly incredible how many people seem to take his shit so seriously and so personally.

Because foreigners often get their depiction of Japan wrong

I’m pretty sure they’d have a different development structure if they didn’t have Steam as a safety net. Steam has given them the opportunity to basically do whatever they want and that’s made them more ambitious than most studios can afford to be. Newell said that they were only interested in games that were…

Save. Make sacrefices. Eat out less, drink less coffee/energy drinks, get less extravagent grocery and other consumable items. Buy non-perishables in bulk. Start couponing. I spent two years saving for my PC and more than a year saving for my VR. I’m not saying it’s not expensive but it is possible. Doing nothing and…

Yes we gave up the freedom of a popular symbol and game, but we sure showed those few thousand racists! Now with [maga] koloredkiller69 kills me in call of duty he can only call me the n word, not That offensive symbol!!

Exactly. We’re going to let racists dictate our very vernacular by simply making things go viral. And we’re going to talk ourselves into the idea that we’re “winning” a war on hate by doing so all while those racists laugh their asses off at how easily society can be manipulated, now.

So, the solution is to just let racists have a symbol? To just gain ground over something that has been universally used to say OK for who knows how long?

The thing is, Mixer, just like Twitch and YT are not conventional corporate - workers relationship. These are service provider based entities, and the streamers/vloggers are partners, not workers.

A few problems with the given “analogies”.

According to the FBI, arrests for violent crimes are roughly 152k per year for blacks, vs. roughly 237k per year for whites. Obviously not all people shot by cops are violent criminals, but according to the Rutgers study cited: “Risk (of being shot by cops) for all groups peaks between the ages of 20 y and 35 y and…
