When privlege has been your default, equality is a hostile entity to you.

“Don’t do stupid things at an event” like setting a few foam blocks onto the concrete, calling it a “pit”, and encouraging people to jump into it.  Agreed.

What do you think the overlap in the Venn diagram is between video game players that talk about how difficult games shouldn’t have easy modes (and probably use cheese strata to get through said difficult games) and players complaining about skill based matchmaking that reveals they aren’t as good as they think.

“I’m not playing this game because I wanna bully people and it won’t let me” is so weak. WEAK.

She’s literally married to a Heritage Foundation ghoul. Activision really loves hiring the worst people in the country.

Maybe the series needs to take a sa-bat-ical.

Sounds like this enterprise is Wayne-ing.

Silent Hill F
...uck Konami.

I don’t think it’s misleading at all. The vast majority of these incidents happened during his tenure there, so it’s entirely valid to include him. Even if he left because of the culture, which is highly doubtful, that means he tolerated it for the greater part of 2 decades before deciding enough was enough. He…

That response is boilerplate nonsense. The company is always the one slowing down negotiations and the CBA is always dated to the start of negotiations.

People who like to abuse people, like to be in positions that allow them to abuse people.

Not really an “angle”. She’s a former sex worker and now plays games on twitch. No need to bring up her past job considering many people have prejudices against sex workers. 

Your second point as been my take away on this matter too. There’s no way Hale would take on this job for only 4 thousand dollars. My guess is this is another Kojima situation where they really wanted the more famous person for the role, but instead of simply cutting her out like Kojima did to Hayter, they low balled…

To be silent is to be complicit in her own undervaluing. Will some jags label her difficult? Yep, and she won’t work with those difficult jags saving herself future headaches. There will also be people who admire her taking a stand and demanding to be paid what she is worth and will want to work with somebody with…

And that’s why you should just cut your loses, decide to never work with them again and walk away without stirring the drama pot

VAs are increasingly talking about the shit pay they get, I think it’s good for her to continue to add to the conversation. 

corporate malfeseance should always be called out.  this isnt “stirring the drama pot”, its about workers’ rights!

Some things to take away from this a little bit extra:

Because it leads to price inflation.

Firstly, we’re not talking about the obscenely priced $70 games from AAA publishers—we’re talking about $20 indie games, and no one is suggesting they can “afford” to have them priced so low. Secondly, it’s scummy for all the reasons I carefully lay out in the article.
