On what grounds are the feds suing him? Is it petty? Of course. But I don’t see that they’d have anything to stand on in the suit, unless there was specific language in his hiring contract surrounding payment methods of wages. The shop did pay him, and they used legal currency.  I don’t think you can sue someone just…

Pandering to try to appear woke.  It’s the same BS as when RE5 came out.  “It’s racist to kill black zombies.”  “But....I’m in Africa, and they’re zombies...”

This is well-said, but I disagree with removing the tool; that would change the ludic context that you mention.  So I say instead of removing the tool, just ban the assholes.  Simple enough.

I don’t get why developers would be interested in creating blockchain games. Isn’t the whole premise of blockchain that the holder is the unique owner of the asset, and that the chain-of-custody is publicly viewable and can never be rewritten?

I’m so white, I’m #gggggg.

So much for my cracker-eating ASMR stream...

Isn’t this the one Conan used on his Tinder remote?

Just want to point out that Majo (魔女) means “witch” in Japanese.

How do you misspell the acronym for “All-In-One”, twice? It’s AIO.

Good thing my legit card was delivered two days ago!

It’s amazing that they can make a 3D model that looks almost exactly like Danny Trejo, but they can’t get the meat to look realistic...  🤦‍♂️

Who?

Good thing you didn’t...  I hate having people like that around.

Except those games didn’t come out this year, and aren’t being claimed to have the “competitor” be better than them. If you want an apt comparison: Metroid: Samus Returns is the best Hollow-Knight-vania of 2017.

I see you conveniently misquoted me. I said “There’s like a 100% chance...”; “like” meaning “about” or “almost”. So it’s “almost “ certain, not “definitely” certain. So obviously it’s not provable short of talking to them or their HR. But I’m pretty sure I’m gonna give them the benefit of the doubt...

Seriously people, do you know how startups work? There’s like a 100% chance they haven’t hired anybody.  Just a group of people who know each other and want to start their own studio.

An excuse is something to *gasp* excuse or justify why poor behaviour should be accepted.  A reason is just an objective explanation of why something happened.  I hate that so many people don’t understand this.  But jerks will be jerks, I guess...

Are people really this stupid?

You forgot the commas...

So....welcome to Metroid.  Stop being a whiny bitch and figure it out!
