You realize you can just not use the mode and it won’t affect you at all? I never get outrage about having options.

I found it almost baffling that Japan had such anti gay views.

This is why I raise an eyebrow whenever ostensibly left-leaning people argue that “identity politics” (which I would argue LGBTQ+ issues fall under) are a “distraction” from the U.S.’s economic problems (the so-called “real problem”). We absolutely need universal healthcare and stronger labor laws. But if we don’t

I’m just going to say, this was also most attendees attitude towards NFTs during GDC this year. Those NFT people were everywhere and super annoying, and they were the only ones that wanted themselves there.

If you just give them this space uncontested, you’re just giving them exactly what they want, and buying their narrative that they’re relevant.

Probably to say the same shit that the crypturd commenters here do, that our simple minds just don’t comprehend the awesomeness of the technology and the future awesomeness it could be capable of

Kudos to the organizers to have the balls to let their creators describe their thoughts without muzzeling them on behalf of their sponsors.

I wonder how long a meme stock company with dogshit fundamentals can be propped up by its stock price. Or, rather, will GME keep its meme stock price as its dogshit fundamentals crash the actual business?

Feels like a lot of these companies realize they need to figure out what they’re actually going to do, because you know as soon as states start outlawing abortion, they’re going to go after companies who try and help because there’s good money there!

“No message” is a clear message in this case.

As someone who works in video game marketing: No. Most are not.

Many are handled by professionals internally. Many are also handled by third parties hired to manage the accounts.

The worst part about this EA thing is that there were probably multiple check ins with a variety of stakeholders on this thing and everyone

As a social manager myself it really sucks to see communications/my job always described as “handled by an intern.” Social is pretty important to communications these days, and if you haven’t noticed, it’s probably the most visible form of communication between people online and between customers and product. You

I’m an equally confused social media manager. Outsourcing communications seems like an odd choice for a video game company, considering their product and consumer demographics.

Not sure if it was better, but its very underrated at least in my opinion. The whole concept of this giant apoplectic creature slowly beating down on you as you play the game, and then finally getting there at the game’s conclusion is great, plus the whole moral choices at the end are great.  A lot of games do

I feel like Infamous Second Son was underrated. It wasn’t super amazing but it was beautiful and fluid and fun. Would love them to return to that world as well as Sly Cooper’s but they’re definitely trying to get that Ghost of Tsushima money now. I enjoyed that game but felt like it got too repetitive and tedious

Don’t forget Numbers 5, in which a priest gives a woman an abortion.

I was happy to see my corporate overlord send out a mass email condemning the actions and stating that any travel out of anti-choice states required by employees for a procedure will be paid for. I was not so happy for one of my team mates on a call to decide to rail against it for 20 minutes.  But I already had to

The Quran doesn’t have any rules regarding abortion so it’s a debated subject in Islam based on Hadith and other theories but the most accepted belief is that a fetus doesn’t have a soul until 120 days aka the end of the first trimester. It’s also considered mandatory if the mothers life is in danger and in the case

I’ll take the people failing to accomplish what I want over the people succeeding in accomplishing what I despise.  

I’m honestly shocked there hasnt been an Infamous remaster for PS4/5. That seems like it would be an easy slam dunk for them to do some kind of deal with that and Spider-Man as a Superhero bundle to push consoles.
