Fucking hell man, good thing you were here to make sure that no one felt too much sympathy for this murdered 15-year-old.

I don’t play overwatch to work, I do that all day. I play overwatch to have fun and it just so happens that I find Hanzo to be a lot of fun. If it pisses anyone off, complain to Blizzard and petition to have him removed. Otherwise, I don’t particularly care. If you feel we need a tank, pick a tank. If you feel we need…

Fam, six figures isn’t big timing.

I dunno. Instead of making bad decisions and occasionally winking, they could have made a better game?

Weird ideas for how to pay for stuff? I.e. the first levels as a playable demo and the rest of the game in a maybe slightly expensive, but still attractive package without the need for further boosts and microtransactions?
Someone call the consumer protection bureau!

The video game industry is healthier with more competitors, not fewer. Unless everyone just converges to PC, we’re all better off with Nintendo making hardware.

“But it’s always been a learning and growing experience for me...this whole situation has definitely been that for me. It’s something that I’m going to keep in mind going forward.”

Well, I certainly hope so. But it seems that every time he’s at the center of a controversy, he gets more defensive than introspective, as…

The weird difference is that radio shock jocks were listened to by adults, whereas the primary audience for these YouTubers is overwhelmingly children. Makes it worse, really.

The context argument is important, I absolutely understand that. I also understand the whole, “you’re causing these words to have power,” argument.

Oh Jesus Christ. I’m seriously tired of these comments.

unless the average salary and benefits per employee at The Ringer is $23,000

Your math is a bit off. Most of those shows do 2-3 a week (Channel 33 does 1 to 2 a day since its the catch-all and has no offseason).

I think you are going to deep on this. His sentiment is very simple:

I’ve generally stopped going to GameStop ever since I switched to Amazon, but my local GameStop is the only reason I was able to get a timely Switch pre-order in as Amazon limited availability stuff is snapped up by scalpers in an instant.

I’m not saying Gamestop isn’t shitty for putting you in that situation, but you absolutely should have been fired for that.
I’m not saying you’re a bad employee or bad manager, but a situation like that would be a fucking nightmare for HR because of Department of Labor rules.

So which company “that is not exploiting someone somewhere along the supply chain” will you take your money to?

People are never going to learn how to stop assuming either without factual information. Wait for a report, then talk. Not before, during, in-between, just after. It’s ignorant. Disrespectful. Petty.
