Yeah but those publishers are publicly traded companies for the most part. They have to announce this stuff to their shareholders and the market which means its public knowledge.

Nah, EA isn’t really the problem. Sure, maybe they should have given Bioware more time to finish ME3 and they definitely messed up when they demanded that they use the wrong engine for ME:A. But EA didn’t write the story for ME:A. And you can’t blame EA for nearly every creative choice for Andromeda being the wrong one…

I agree, I very much doubt that BioWare fully thought this out before they created the ending.

The Reapers do not want to end all organic life. They only go after advanced civilizations. Their solution to the stated problem is to harvest a species, turn it into a reaper so its preserved in some way, and destroy what remains so organic civilization doesn’t progress to a point where it gets into a conflict with…

No synthesis is a horrible option. First, its the ultimate Reaper option that is pushed on you by the Star Child. Its a solution to what the Star Child considers a problem, namely the whole organics and synthetics can’t co exist. So make everything a hybrid and then the distinction between the two is gone, problem…

I think that has more to do with the quality of those games rather than the lack of Space Marines. 

That is a pointless argument because the law states that it is self defense. What you did to create a situation where you were attacked and felt the need to ‘defend’ yourself is generally irrelevant when it comes to how self defense laws work. Sure, its morally reprehensible, but when it comes to a trial that doesn’t…

There is a legal excuse namely self defense and that is why he got acquitted. And yeah, he got himself in that situation, but self defense laws don’t care about that. 

The Inquisitor game is actually much better than I expected. It looks a little cheap in the graphics department, but it actually had much going on than I initially expected.

Yeah, if you give them a choice. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to play a good WH40k game where you play as something other than Space Marines. 

That doesn’t seem like a valid comparison. BF2042 was plagued by bugs and missing features, Titanfall has only 2 ‘main’ games with the last one getting released in 2016, it was hardly a franchise before Apex came around. BR has nothing to do with it. Case in point, Halo Infinite released around the same time as BF2042…

But also in GTA IV, there are orthodox Jewish NPCs walking around certain areas. That’s fine—it’s New York, known for a relatively high number of orthodox Jews relative to almost anywhere else in America. But what’s not so funny are the YouTube clips I’d see (back in the early days of GTA) of players “hunting” Jewish…

Yeah but you didn’t need an NFT to do this. They could just look at your game account, see what stuff you bought/is linked to your account and port it over or give you any of the stuff they give you now. 

“You keep reiterating the point and think you’re rebutting when you’re actually agreeing. Yes, I know the system explicitly does not care about treatment of employees. This is our concern, dude.”

Except that stockholders generally don’t care about HR policy. As long as you reach your projected results, they generally don’t give a shit about what you actually do to achieve those results. On top of that, how much employees get paid generally has no impact whatsoever on the stock price, especially not the day to…

Probably because there are no games set in those conflicts. But just read back on the outrage of a game like 6 days in Fallujah which is set in a real and recent war. People definitely have a problem with that. 

What has buying stock or stock price got to do with how Gamestop treats their employees? Gamestop doesn’t profit from a higher stock price, it doesn’t net them any money and its not really a metric that measures business success.

It is not. Nationalism is like alcohol. Having a beer with friends on the weekend is fine. Going on a bender every evening is not. Some level of nationalism allows you to empathize with complete strangers because you share something in common. It helps people come together in difficult times. It gives strength to…

Yeah but you don’t need NFT’s to solve any of the issues you mention. There is no technical reason why Linden labs needs to take a cut, they take a cut because thats how they make money. Shoving an NFT in there won’t change that. There is no technical reason why standard in game assets in SL aren’t for sale other than…
