except he’s not a kid, he’s legally an adult and even with the exploitative contract that he (as an adult) signed, he’s not hurting for money so it’s hard to feel bad for him. 

This is just depressing in light of the fact that some of these people have no idea how fortunate they are to be in the position they’re in and they’re squabbling over whose cut is bigger.

According to Tfue this has been going on for months and he made it clear in September that he didn’t want to negotiate a new deal, he requested a release. Banks is making the worse of the situation by trying to mislead people about the contents of the contract. Ultimately what was written in the contract are the most…

If you want to know how easy it was for ProJared to manipulate young people, check out the champions in this thread who didn’t get the joke.

“I get that previously it was required to be employed at Riot, but no one is required to work there.”

“I assume there’s plenty of jobs out there that don’t force arbitration”

Your mom told me the same about you.

I mean, if you’re really going to Obsidian as your metric for “good” writing, I’m not sure what to tell you.

Also: I never said RDR was well-written—I just put it a level or two above GTA.  That’s relative positioning without establishing the scale. ;)

It’s OK for you to disagree. I just felt like, for every fun combat section, there was twenty minutes of movie-quality story. Which I LOVED, but not for $60. It was closer to something I’d want to pay $10 to watch (or more realistically, rent) than $60 to own and play once.

Non-binary is bullshit. it’s another stupid made up group of people who are too narcissistic to be happy with just being a person. You have to invent a group so you can feel special. It’s just a girl. A decidedly well playing girl at that. Good for her. 

Influencers are a vital component of modern-day marketing and no product can survive without having a good influencer marketing strategy.

While all this is funny, and allows for some levity during a debate where people on either side have dug in their heels hard, you have to wonder what it must be like for the person who kicked it all off, now getting resoundly dunked on across the web.

Of course this would be a topic of discussion. Someone always has to find the littlest details to complain about and make it into an issue.

Game developers getting 18% more of your money is a huge benefit to the customer: The game developer can invest more in the games you love, and has less incentive to depend on trashy DLC models.

As far as I’m concerned, if a woman is sending nude pics of herself to other people (regardless of how “trusted” that person is), she must be clearly aware that there is a good chance that picture will end up in other’s hands. And at the very least, disclosed to others to see. If she doesn’t accept that reality she is…

Thank you; none of the man-babies crying about these Epic deals has even the most rudimentary concept of basic economics. 30% is sheer larceny; after years of this pathetic rent-seeking behavior, Valve has all but got down on their knees and begged for a competitor to come along and take their lunch. Maybe after…

To me, this feels like the definition of increased competition. Publishers are the customers here, and Epic is only getting exclusive deals because they have a more competitive offering: taking a lower cut of revenue (12% vs. 30%). Publishers would not agree to exclusivity if Epic was offering the same old 70/30…

There’s a difference between a mountain and a man-made thing, though. If they were to build the Washington Monument today without an elevator because they wanted to symbolize the difficult ordeal of becoming a country or whatever, and make it an accomplishment to get to the top, that would be unacceptable.

Hi,
