Then why did your social media team apologize to China first before any statement was given? OmegaLUL

Brack’s statement concerning Blitzchung’s statements “having had nothing to do with their decision” is about as full of shit as it gets. They absolutely kowtowed to China, and now they’re trying to reverse course amidst a firestorm of pushback.

Here’s the thing: corporations absolutely have the right to associate…

“The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made,” wrote Brack. “I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision...”

Nacho Fries just need to be permanent, please.

i mean, if i gave a shit what people like you thought, i’d have a pretty unsuccessful business

I didn’t read it as ‘at least we’re not Hitler’, mostly because that’s a strawman you just created, but more of a ‘grow the fuck up, just install another launcher on your PC, it’s not a big deal, stop the incessant whinging’, which I think is pretty reasonable and I respect them for having the stones to say it.

Because men are trash.

As gamers, we face every type of preconception and stereotype from the outset

Actually, this is exactly what they want. They want to pay for their kids, their trash collectors, their city services, and nada mas.

I think it gets complicated by the company’s context of botching so much of social media and some of the rumblings from the show floor about how this latest demo was handling race. That’s a problem with the genre as a whole, but it doesn’t sound like 2077 is approaching that sort of thing with the greatest sense of…

It wasn’t just this particular story, either. Every story I’ve seen on this mentions the “full-time rabbi” as if people have never heard of prison chaplains, as if this is some kind of special request or something. The whole angle was to hype up the “Jewishness” of the experience.

The reporting about the prison has been down-right bizarre (though not really).  It had all kinds of seedy undertones to it, bloodlust, anti-Semitism, the whole nine, really.

For the better part of a decade, Valve had a near-monopoly on the PC game storefront, with no real competition. To the point that Steam was synonymous with digital PC game storefronts, like Kleenex or Advil. Valve’s lack of proactive or timely fixes to Steam are a direct result of them having no real competition. It…

This is incredibly asinine. It’s a subscription based MMO - so not only are players dropping $60 on an expansion, but also signing up to play for another two years @ $15 a month. You make it sound like their only options are to a). shut up and cough up the money or b). don’t play the game and move on. But these are…

He’s not wrong? Or controversial?

If white nationalists means all white people to you, then yeah. Fuck off, fascist scum.

“Complicated French labor laws make it difficult to lay people off immediately and without notification” I laughed in french while reading that. It’s not complex, it’s just that depending on the contract, you can’t “lay off people immediatly and without notification”. That’s really not complex at all.

Who the fuck let this guy out of the greys?

This is straight bullshit.

The two children are dying because they’re starving to death and experiencing sickness from fallout. That is inherently “suffering” and it doesn’t matter whether it’s one set of children or the other (that criticism could be levied at any film’s characters). The deaths themselves are only incidental to the end of the…
