The show was still making an obscene amount of money. No one wanted to publicly say anything that would rock the boat. Besides, who other than Harmon himself was in the position to openly shit on the guy whose name is most connected to their place of employment? It totally makes sense that everyone was fine with just

Roiland looks like the kinda manchild who brings a board game no one has heard of to a house party and throws a tantrum when no one wants to play.

Ah yes, the year [citation missing], when independent films were making hundreds of millions of dollars, and high-budget spectacle headed by marquee stars couldn’t make its budget back.

Its not a remaster. Its the original game emulated.

Anyone who’s tried to get a decades-old game to run on modern hardware has learned the hard way that many of these games were designed with a very specific framerate in mind, and once you crack the cap, the game breaks. When an engine is coded to run in sync to an expected frametime, uncapping the framerate will

Previously published games were pointedly NOT exempt. There was language that applied the rule retroactively depending on various circumstances, such as if it received updates recently, since Unity counted any work of any kind being done to a game as “agreeing to the new terms”

Youve never played a Quantic Dream game before, huh?

Sure, but like any other Quantic Dream game, you have to temper how neat this sounds with how absolutely stupid it will be in reality. 

I don't think anyone thought it would be "good" per se. They just didn't think it would be this bad. 

“Credible” is in quotation marks because it is a quote. It’s a basic tenet of responsible reporting - a news organization reporting on breaking news cannot be the arbiter of truth, they can merely report on facts. In this case, they cannot determine the validity of the claim that it was “credible” but they can report

Good god, Unity’s fucking up but ffs death threats are not the answer.  Just stop using their engine.

Something something, late stage capitalism.

It’s unsurprising that all of this is happening 3 years after Unity had an IPO and just 1 year after they took major investment from venture capital and private equity. This is classic short-term profit boosting at the expense of long-term brand value. It’s also predatory rent seeking behavior from a company looking

Gunn had nothing to do with any of that.

A failing of humanity writ large is overvaluing the personal/anecdotal evidence over mountains of evidence in the opposite direction. Unless you believe somebody was wrongly convicted, arguing for leniency on their behalf is more or less just saying “my experiences with that person weren’t where he raped anybody I

If I had a family member or close friend that was convicted of a crime, even a particularly disgusting one such as rape, it would be pretty hard to refuse a request to write about any redeeming values that might lighten the sentence. It would be akin to disowning them entirely.”
I don’t know if you’re a serial troll

Yeah it’s a complex situation. I tend to think that we should just respect Priscilla’s experience, ironically it can be traumatizing in itself to have people project victim status onto you and rewrite what you feel is your truth. We should support people who are expressing that they were victimized or who are

I feel like they learned the wrong lesson from this.

High school and college aged people? Lots of cross-over.

Did she hurt you?
