I find it interesting that Nero now looks pretty much identical to Dante at the end of the DmC reboot.

This is not correct, at least in the US.  In the US the central franchise hub, such as the NFL or the NBA, technically makes no money.  After costs, they redistribute money to franchises (and therefore to owners) and then the franchises/owners pay the taxes.  Now, about that tax rate and exemptions they can get...

That’s a problem with your government, not the sport. If the money wasn’t on offer from crooked politicians, billionaires wouldn’t come forth with a hand out asking for money.

The esports teams are draining money from the main team’s budget, that’s their complaint.  Most of these guys probably already have season tickets, so they essentially got in “for free” and then threw things on the field in protest.  Pretty common in European football, at least they weren’t throwing bananas at black…

I mean, FIFA doesn’t have a lot to do with teams at this level. Most places follow FIFA’s rules of the games and each national football assocation (or FA) has ties to it, but the Allsvenska, the Swedish top pro league, is largely independent on the Swedish national FA. Protesting FIFA’s actions and corruption at a…

First the mismanagement, then the vultures; Hawley is a grim-reaper brought in by boards to fire people en masse, Zynga brought him in to fire basically everyone.

Talent.  Most developers aren’t too keen on living in a small town in the Midwest, hell a lot of developers are keen to get far away from small towns.  The talent is in places like San Francisco or LA or Seattle, and you need that talent.  Beyond talent pool, it also makes collaboration easier since other companies…

A lot of factors. For one, competition is more fierce than ever before. For another, most people that start a game company aren’t particular great with the business side of things; by the time someone with business chops gets involved its already too late. Lastly, good old-fashioned corruption. A popular trend in the…

Except the money, the “15%” fictious number you cite is bullshit, for one, and for two, most companies could pay for it by cutting into profits. At one point, the tax structures in this country encouraged such investment in human capital.

A lot of grocery store workers are already unionized:

To be clear, they didn’t change anything in the game, the last patch was September 4th. Someone got some unlikely rolls (50%+ female generals) and whined about it online. Their response is entirely reasonable: we’re not going to remove content just because a vocal minority don’t want to see female generals, which…

Well, the good news is that as a Civil War re-enactor in his off time, Andrew Luck is well acquainted with fighting a losing battle.

This man died playing a game for free to get an education and maybe a shot at the pros, but you know who should have died?  The NCAA.  #DeathToTheNCAA

Except you can.  Most games built upon chance have similar secondary marketplaces and third party websites.  Just look at the CS:GO loot box gambling fiasco to see a great/horrible example of that.  Right now I can go out and buy some players for the latest FIFA game.  Yes, technically those “break the EULA” of the…

It’s pretty easy when you consider that loot boxes cost money. Let’s say that you’re playing a game where $10 gets you enough game currency, 1,000 currency, to buy 10 lootboxes, pretty simple math, $1= 100 currency = 1 lootbox. Let’s say that each lootbox has three items and is guaranteed to give you at least one…

Well, arguably EA has been much more aggressive in pushing loot boxes than most publishers. The Kotaku crowd isn’t much for sports games so it kind of goes unnoticed but FIFA in particular is pretty egregious in pushing you towards spending ridiculous cash to get a great team in the multiplayer. They’re starting to…

As I said, there’s limit on work too. That said, really in general Americans work too much.

This pretty much applies to anything except work since it provides much needed funds for you to eat and live and all that stuff(and even then, there’s a limit).  Solo time (not THAT solo time) for couples from time to time is healthy, but if you’re ignoring the person you supposedly love...something is wrong.

Or kill Trump, Pence and anybody who shares his views.  Revolutions on man, let’s kill ‘em all.  My grandpa was crippled fighting fascists, I’m down with putting some bullets in brains in his honor.

Money and great...basketballs?  I’d hit that harder than Matt Barnes hit his girlfriend.
