This doesn’t surprise me. I’ve met Ernie Gygax and he came off as an out of touch old asshole riding on his “famous” dads coat tails.

This lawsuit seems hyperbolilc. Based on Zendesk’s own privacy policy (https://www.zendesk.com/company/privacy-and-data-protection/), they do not share or sell end-user data, only anyonymized and aggregated data (which has its own privacy problems, but is industry standard).

We are talking an NFT project. Them lying about the number of staff they hired, along with everything else, seems far more likely.

Standard gaming industry rate is ~10K per person when calculating budget, which takes into account hardware/software, place to work, wages, etc. So that’d be 50 people working for 1 month. Or 70 people working for about 3 weeks. So yeah, definitely not hiring in an NA/EU country.

Let’s see, they brought in 500k, and hired 70+ people. How does that math even work? For that many people 500k is 1-2 months of operating costs. I’m guessing the hires were paid crap wages, or were being paid with intangibles like exposure or percentages of profit. And that’s not taking into account that they dumped…

You love to see it.

“Accidentally” sent...

Blizzard will probably mention this guy in their next earnings report.

This has to be the funniest thing I’ve heard about this situation yet. What’s the point of pay to win if you pay so much you get too good to compete?

I think that particular problem belongs in the category “Don’t care. Go fuck yourself. Gotta get back to work.”

Congratulations Blizzard. You managed to make a pay to lose game.

Same for me as a single person - I buy cold cuts when me and my friends are planning a day out on a boat or hiking or something where bringing a bunch of cheap and filling sandwiches at once makes sense. If I want a cold cut sandwich otherwise, I just go to Jersey Mike’s or a local deli.

I mean the relevant question is why should anyone care if these disappear? If many people don’t enjoy them and they don’t sell well, seems like the market is saying a very clear “no thanks” and if it results in less food waste, that’s a good thing.

I’m over 40 and have never in my life actually ordered olive/pimento loaf.

And we haven’t even touched on how the emblem is the Game Cube’s, swapping its negative-space G for a P. Or how the controller is a Dollar Store Dual Sense with the trackpad fallen off.

Wait what? Kirby sucks.

I have seen both sides. I have seen non-gamers consider all forms of gaming to be immature and that their partner should just stop. But I have also seen gamers who seem to think they can have a healthy relationship with someone while dedicating 40 hours a week to gaming

Same thing applies with a taco, eat it over another tortilla and BOOM second taco.

I actually had not thought of letting the burger spill directly on top of the fries; I’ve always spilled to the side then done a fry sweep. But your way is more efficient.

Not at all surprising that the first NFT game on the store would just be using asset flips for a quick buck, which seems to be the main purpose of NFTs in general. I’ve yet to see a concept for using NFTs that would work and that can’t already be done with your typical account based systems.
