This is 100% it. Every time you see one of these guys saying “There’s heaps of people walking around with no life behind their eyes” what they actually mean is “I saw someone who wasn’t paying full, enthusiastic, positive attention to me and I don’t understand it.”

It’s truly hard for me to imagine looking at a world full of busy people going about their lives and think that something’s wrong with them because they’re not paying more attention to me.

As a woman in a related field..it’s also because of the rampant sexism, misogyny, harassment, sexual assault, etc., that happens in game development (and to some extent software development in general). Why would I want to work in a field where I can expect to get paid even more less than women already get paid, where…

Yeah but isn’t the industry male dominated in the first place because more men are hired then women?

I didn’t ask for one. I’d like a tightened up version of GTA IV’s physics.

“So, what, you’re going to fault Rocksteady for primary hiring male in a male dominated industry?”

The article’s fine; just colorful prefacing. Representing the quote, here, was the only point.

Such workplaces only become problematic... when they become problematic.

Sadly not all that surprising if you just look at the previous Arkham games with even a bit of a critical eye.

Arkham Asylum came out in 2009. The fundamentals of sexual harassment policy and basic workplace ethics had been in place by then. I agree social attitudes have moved forward since then but “Don’t comment on your female coworker’s body parts” was pretty firmly established as a bad thing at this point.

Cunt isn’t as vulgar a word in the UK as it is in the US.  Context is important.

Sadly not all that surprising if you just look at the previous Arkham games with even a bit of a critical eye. They’re objectively good games with solid writing and gameplay that helps fulfill the fantasy of being Batman, but they’re also very much products of their time.

I remember when I recently played through the…

Why even write the article if you’re not going to include the one and only message she had:

Well, in economic terms, a “bear market” is one in which the prices of stocks are falling; this is as opposed to a “bull market,” in which they’re rising.

“Gay bear” in these subreddits is an insult referring to either short sellers, or people who don’t think a stock will go up. Why ‘gay bear’ and not something else, I have no idea. These subs have a lot of anti-LGBT shit, unfortunately.

Honestly this trailer makes them look cooler than they probably really were.

It’s an interesting world where ‘yolo’ is incensing to people who describe themselves as apes flying rocket ships full of stonks to the moon to bring back chicken tendies to stick it to ‘gay bears’.

That’s literally art from V’s online DLC. Nothing official has been released from VI.

Let me just say what all the other comments are afraid to: are you upset that WOMEN are prominently featured in the promotional image? Does it scare you that one of them even has *gasp* skin pigment?

If you don’t explain yourself folks are just going to assume you’re a bigot in spaces like this, and well...…

I know this is a serious leak, but it’s hard to feel sorry for Rockstar (or Take-Two) after they spent 10 years milking GTA online instead of releasing this five years ago.
