As if they give a fuck. How much longer will the rich old assholes running these companies even be alive? After they cash out, it’s someone else’s problem.

They didn’t announce the strike on the site. Google it - it was all over the mainstream news.

Naw dawg, there’s nothing wrong with the article - you’re just intensely biased against him. I agree with everything he wrote, and his tone seems exactly the same as everything else on GMG to me.

Same - super super weird reactions in these comments. People bending over backwards to defend corporate greed is fucking bizarre. Apparently they dislike Sam Barsanti so much that they’ll argue against their own self-interest out of spite. Why not just... skip the article if you hate the writer?

No, he’s making fun of a corporation suggesting that raising prices for movies in Europe somehow makes price gouging fancy.

Just because they CAN pay him less because of it, that doesn’t mean they definitely did. Do you have evidence to back this up, or any evidence that he was dissatisfied with the role? Because it’s a pretty great role.

So they “spoiled” for you that a bridge exists in this game? Wow, you’re right, that’s totally surprising and unguessable information. I can absolutely see where you’re coming from.... 

“Subtle?” I do not think it means what you think it means.

It’s extra crazy that they force you to click on it, and then force you to read it, too!

You literally clicked on an Elden Ring article labeled “Game Diary” - what the fuck did you think would be inside? And a quick follow-up: could you be any dumber?

Come on, how many ETH are you “hodling”? Tell the truth.

I disagree with your analysis. I dislike civil asset forfeiture only when it’s abused. If someone is actually hauling a load of illegal guns, or engaged in human trafficking, they 100% should have their vehicle seized and sold.

I dunno - I bailed on Y, but I watched Station Eleven on the edge of my seat from start to finish. They couldn’t be more different, even though they’re both about pandemics.

Station Eleven was PERFECT in its timing, because it’s ultimately about how you survive and process this sort of trauma. Y, on the other hand, was basically a thriller that doesn’t bring much thoughtfulness to the table, and that’s why I bailed on it.

Do they? People spend real money on fake slot machine apps (i.e. which don’t pay out real money) all the time, and there’s no argument to be made that those games are “fun” beyond the gambling dopamine rush.

Why does it matter if it’s legal or not? Laws against jailbreaking your personal devices are simply not enforced - no one is out there actively looking for individual users to sue for jailbreaking. As long as you aren’t selling the devices you mod or distributing tools to facilitate piracy, you’re never ever going to…

“Creative ownership” as you define it a) doesn’t really exist, because everything defaults to the public domain eventually and b) is entirely a modern invention. Creators through most of history had very few rights - people have been copying books without permission for the entire history that books have existed.

By your logic, buying used games is ALSO stealing, as it deprives the creators of money they would’ve earned if you purchased it. Same for borrowing from a library. It’s time to admit that you just don’t have a very sophisticated understanding of the world around you. It’s easier for people with an affinity for…

I am absolutely entitled to Nintendo’s games. Art belongs to society, not to those who create it. Hence the public domain. I have no respect for the current legal structure around the public domain - I believe copyright should be restricted to a 10-20 year period at maximum. So I’m willing to break that idiotic law…

Here we go again. Piracy is not “stealing” - theft deprives someone of something. Piracy doesn’t deprive anyone of anything, ESPECIALLY if they’re not selling it any more.
