Yup, "please don't disagree with him, lots of people are gonna do it and that's gonna be loud!" 

What’s a Gfinity and why should i care

They didn’t make something that didn’t work. Pirates pirated an unfinished version of the game and then cried about how that didn’t work.

PC users shouldn't be doing anything with it.

The leak - and all those engaged in it - really did create some needless handwringing. The game people were playing - were pirating - was not the finished product.

I used to think this post shipping a game mid pandemic, but teams & people now have largely adapted & there’s a myriad of tools and processes to aid now. I’m currently on one the biggest teams i’ve been on of my 15 year career and its working well despite my deepest concerns.

No remote work options are massive, massive red flags in the game industry today. Blizzard gigs used to be highly coveted but just like that they’re now substandard.

Public transit is often more time and cost efficient than driving your own vehicle when you live in an urban center. I haven’t taken a car to work in 20 years, and that was my mom dropping me off for teenage retail shifts at the mall.

Sticky finger prints of capitalism aside... Art is beautiful and can make us further appreciate the beauty in the world. Games are art.

amazing, all that customization and he still looks like a dweeb

“Technically correct is the best kind of correct” is a futurama quote i threw in as a joke, calm down, lol. Anyways, I’m not arguing morals here, I’m just saying it’s still the definition of piracy. i have not made any statements regarding moral right or wrong (I even went out of my way to say i don’t think it made…

Technically correct is the best kind of correct. Listen, when you preordered it you exchanged money with the consensual understanding that the other party would release it to you at a later date. If you go and pirate that is completely outside the consensual terms of your transaction. You are pirating it, fullstop. I…

The TotK leaking early and being played early is a demonstrable use case of piracy that harms their business. Nintendo’s lawyers are acting now because the community fucked up the status quo and gave them an opening.

Buying and Selling is a consensual agreement between two parties. The seller has not yet consented the goods be released to you. So, yes, it is piracy.

I tend to think Nintendo is well within their rights here. Rampant piracy was happening with these tools despite the often cited grey area use cases (emulating archived digital purchases). This community crossed a redline with the TotK leak and that’s what happens.

Machine Learning is absolutely useless for any creative work. The machine won’t do what you want it to do or need it to do. Execs are too out of touch to figure that out, though. It would be nice if writers can take it off the table with their demands so massive amounts of time and money isn't wasted figuring out that…

i worked at Relic for 15 years and am very fond about many of the devs working there still while also having a good idea where the problems lie for that studio (coughmanagementcoughsegacough). That said, they’ve always had a very difficult fanbase even when their games were going well. It always felt very thankless…

also a shout out to what they’re doing with paints these days. they have an increasingly user friendly line of transparent paints (constrast paints, shade paints, glaze mediums, etc) on top of their regular opaque stuff. You can see the cool gradients they’re managing on that Screamer-Killer paint job with that 10+…

it’s worth acting baffled rather than to meekly accept that puritanical attitudes to sex/nudity should be the default.

oh, now metacritic will do something about it when it’s a BIG game?
