Ehh. I can see both sides of this. Key staff of the original, maybe, but game credits are massively bloated nowadays. And compare it to other media - if movie A has footage from movie B in it, it’ll be in the credits as that movie, and whoever they licensed the rights to that movie from, and depending on how heavily…

This is more a tricky subject than it seems at first.

no one cared when machines replaced checkouts at stores.....

Honest question, does it really effect hiring?

this is a non-case. the porn industry hires lookalikes to perform on their movies because they want to ride the fame wave, they even add a parody name because you can’t use the real name. All these ladies make money appearing on twitch become famous, take money from men who lust for them but demand to create a…

No, I don't know who this is. Go back to writing class.

This is gonna sound super pessimistic but I don’t think we can ever get out of this rabbit hole. Throw all the lawyer and laws you want, we already lost.

Just think about it, if all the software and music and videogame and movie industries with their infinite moneys couldn’t fully get rid of torrent sites.... what hope…

The internet has short memory. Rule 34 has been a meme for ages, this is terrible, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise.

If only 99% of the discussion around this wasn’t absolute brainworms awful shit.

So they are given the right to harass or bully other people? I think you need to rethink what you said. Harassment or bullying does not welcome more harassment or bullying.

Then you’re a sociopath, Girlfriend Games is incredibly wholesome and they were actively donating to The Trevor Project while streaming, the psychos that hijacked their streams and brought a woman to tears through bullying aren’t allies of anything or anyone, they’re using trans suffering as an excuse to be shit…

That’s a pretty myopic view of how game development works. If a developer makes a commercially successful game, that increases their leverage when negotiating for new projects and higher budgets. That means more job opportunities, more bonuses, more raises and more promotions. If a game is a commercial failure, its…

“You know Sweet Anita. You’ve seen her streams, stumbled across her Twitter account, or watched clips of her on TikTok.”

“Twitch streamer with the means to combat this kind of sexualized violence”

“the Tourette’s streamer.”

become a battlefield over whether or not trans people deserve human rights.

People understand that Rowling’s already been paid, right? That’s already baked in to the cost of development, so it’s not as though avoiding this game means “not paying Rowling.”

Yeah, I don’t think attacking people over the matter is really making as much progress as some people seem to think it will. Quite the opposite, really.

While I appreciate that the article is bringing awareness to some indie games, this whole article comes off as a guilt trip. Seriously, the author is saying that if you bought or even enjoy Hogwarts Legacy then your a shitty person. This is just adding to all the bullshit and ongoing witch-hunt of harassing…

I’m all for standing up for Transgender rights, but if you are going to harass and bully people so aggressively, by even going as far as creating a website to tell you whether a streamer has played said video game, you aren’t exactly creating a healthy narrative.
