End Stage Capitalism cohabiting with New Age (sweatshop) slavery.
it’s just that simple! it’s definitely not that people are perpetually kept in freelancing/contracting/internship because of our busted, deregulated, de-unionized economy!!
I had been with a software company for 8.5 years. I was let go along with 30 others in the same day. We were quietly called into meetings one at a time and not told to bring anything (even our work laptops or tablets). We were told we would not be allowed back at our desks to collect our things and that someone would…
Yes, it is common practice here. Republicans are largely against any kind of unionization because they claim it is bad for business. What they mean is, giving employees rights makes it harder for corporations to treat their hired help like slaves. I’m not saying the Democrats have done much to fix these problems, but…
Same reason they locked their credentials when they were all called away from their terminals to get the news. Disgruntled employee walks back to desk, nukes their hard drive, screws over the IP value the execs just liquidated...
Yup. It doesn’t always happen so quickly, but yeah, it’s fairly standard practice.
Hiring someone from across the country knowing you’re going to shut down in a week is extremely super fucked up.
It’s highlighting the problem that people are in because Telltale didn’t give any advance warning. That was preventable.
The next stuido to use up and throw away its staff like used trash the way Telltale did is right around the corner. Game Devs need to unionize before that happens and gamers need to support it.
Asset sales. They are going to liquidate not just the hardware but all of the art and code and design work, so they need to lock the systems down so no one has an opportunity to take that work with them. It’s horseshit and indicitave of the company leaders knowing full well what they were doing with the last-minute…
Fear of their own employees. And total lack of humanity/empathy on the part of upper management (who I’ll guarantee is also getting their severance). This is just proof of them knowing that what they did was wrong and fucked up - they were banking on their employees just being to shocked to respond in any way in that…
I read it as “these are the rules which suck and should be changed to improve society overall”
Violence for anything other than food or home is unnatural. The violence for sport/greed/pure evil in most games and media is not something that really exists in nature, and more specifically is not acceptable in modern society (while sex is).
I’m still baffled by how gaming culture glorifies violence but treats sex as taboo. Sex is natural, violence isn’t. Unless you’re a god damn cheetah, which most humans are not. Which, lets face it, a video game about a human-cheetah hybrid going on a killing spree sounds pretty fun. But a game where characters have…
I’ve been really happy with Eevee’s added exposure over the years. One of its strengths is that it can represent many things to many different types of people. I’ve also found that it can help foster connections between people - pretty much everyone I know who likes Pokemon has a favorite evolution regardless of how…
Hmmm....
Kingdom Come is historical fiction, and this game is a fantasy board game, which the author never mentions.
There is so much more to D&D than being a murder hobo.
Other than the dragons, and the white walkers, and the direwolves, and the giants, and pretty much everything with Melisandre.......
