I dont mean to make this overtly political, but over the past 40 years, one political party in particular has been using social wedge issues to win elections.  That includes telling a portion of the country they should never have to feel even remotely sorry about anything, no matter how awful the behavior is.  That…

“Nobody comes to work in video game development trying to make anyone angry,”

More absurd is the fact that the Latino vote in the US is drifting further to the right than Democrats care to acknowledge. In fact, the GOP has gained Latino voters since 2016.

“Toxic divisions are tearing our families and our society apart. I want to help bring sanity and civility to the public discussion.”

I love these clowns talking about democracy as if they actually like it. The GOP are the worst fuckers ever at voting rights so it cracks me up every time. It’s like Helldivers 2 but instead of bugs they are talking about brown people.

What makes me shake my head the most is that Conservative Politics have evolved and become emboldened to the point that they don’t really need the dog whistles and code anymore.

Marty...Homie, you don’t need to say “Traditional Families” anymore, you can just say “gay people are illegal,” your fellow Republicans…

The irony with these chuds is they always seem to invoke Christianity and Jesus as the basis for their “family values”, and they get it completely wrong.

I wish more people realized this. Presidents don’t just flip a switch and the economy is fixed. They do a bunch of shit and pass it off to the next president to deal with. Obviously that is a huge oversimplification, but my point is that i wish more people looked at things more than surface-deep

“Our country is going in the wrong direction,” O’Donnell says in the video. “Toxic divisions are tearing our families and our society apart.”

O’Donnell told GamesBeat. “And I can have constructive conversations with those people. We don’t demonize each other.”

The only thing he really did before was successfully defeat Bungie for unpaid royalties. Followed by Bungie defeating him when he posted unreleased Destiny music he composed but Bungie owned.

You mean aside from the white nationalism and the “anti-woke” cultural wars? Yeah he’s a shitty dude. 

“There’s too much division” says the guy who wants to restrict the definition of “family.”

Looks like his policies are about 50 years expired...

no inflation while the Orange Man was in office.

Well, I guess he’ll have a small fandom a fraction of the size of what he once enjoyed before he outed himself as a horrible human being, even if his music still slaps.

Smart. Very smart. AAA publishers are only going to get worse, so it’s important to keep your franchises/IPs and cut loose in this day and age. It’s going to be tough without the rich sociopaths’ money, but in this industry the AAA model is just not sustainable with little to gain as a dev. 

How interesting. They laid off 800 people last March so they could restructure and focus on the right projects https://kotaku.com/ea-layoffs-jobs-andrew-wilson-profits-electronic-arts-1850281078. I’m sure this time the restructuring will work and that it has nothing to do with giving more money to execs or stock…

I cannot, for the life of me, understand what on earth would lead them to cancel a Respawn Star Wars FPS. The Jedi games (licensed) have sold well, Titanfall (original) didn’t. Why would a genre they have excelled at (FPS) with a license that has sold games (Star Wars) not be a shoo-in? It’s absolutely possible it was…
