Man it is almost like being a board member in a corporation is a grift that they are willing to give up 3/4 of a billion dollars to not expose. 

Only if you’re not a billionaire.

Everytime I get my proxy vote for my 1 to 5 shares of any company I invest in; I will always vote against the company preferences.

Isn’t converting the company’s money into your money embezzlement?

Hilarious. Nobody gives up nearly a billion dollars “to eliminate the uncertainty, risk, burden, and expense of further litigation”

No offense to the current artist of the Dragonlance covers, but I see them, and I instantly miss Larry Elmore.

It’s absolute fact that China has engaged in a state-sponsored industrial espionage program for the past few decades in order to catch up to the US, Korea and Taiwan. They didn’t get where they are by behaving ethically.

Oh My Goodness! Stop the Presses! US technology is being used by the Chinese where American companies willingly gave their technology to a Chinese manufacturer so the Chinese people can manufacture the items for pennies on the dollar so the greedy American companies can have a larger profit margin? Color me surprised.

Thanks for this article, Jeff.  Every time I consider quitting this site because of its moronic comment engine that usually hides some of the best comments, an interesting, informative, entertaining article like this one comes along to keep me coming back.  Thanks!

I don’t even use anything impacted, and I’m just sick of this attitude. The lack of care, the ‘fuck the public’, the sheer arrogant contempt for others is not just nauseating but wearing.

Turns out the cost to host a scalable website go way, *way* down when your website effectively shuts down. Who knew?!

no it wasn’t, social media was

Not an author myself, but I know enough math to put more trust on 4.3 stars out of 573 reviews than 5 stars out of 8 reviews. 

“I did not mean to be aggressive”

I don’t understand any of this. It sounds like ridiculously over-blown drama, from the author, the reviewer, the publisher, and the random people jumping in to “support” one side or the other. Is everyone stuck in a grade school mentality? The author and the publisher should be able to comport themselves like the…

what is it with people always saying “it’s a joke!!” being so painfully unfunny?

Just because people dont want a black actress to portray a white mermaid doesnt mean they are racist. Mermaid folklore mainly comes from European countries. Hence the white skin and red hair of Ariel.

That does explain some AND makes me worried about DA: Dreadwolf. Story is the main draw of those games. Heck, it’s what makes me forgive gameplay that I might be frustrated by or not enjoy that much.

Did you bother reading the post?

There was no screwing up, external factors changing so drastically that production costs double isn’t something even the widest margins can predict.
