In case you were wondering how this was received:

Thanks for continuously reporting these stories (and the memos). The more it’s out there, the more they can’t run from it. Keep this issue visible.

I was going to make a joke asking if they tried blowing in him and giving him a nice whack to see if he started to work again, but I realized that would just be describing CPR.

Because victims shouldn’t be made to suffer because they are victims.  

Strongly agree. Then criminals may have killed a person and that would be horrible. This way the cops killed a person and we all know that’s totally fine. 

Right because there are only two things that can be done ever, never three, or four, or five. Just two. You can either let chaos reign or endanger the wellbeing of anyone nearby to enforce the law at all costs.

This country is full of retards.

To make them feel empowered.  I mean if there was no insurance on the car, the owner is still out a car.  Someone lost a wife/mom/grandma, but at least they captured the car theives....

Pigs got their adrenaline rush, which is all that matters.

In this instance it’s definitely the prior correspondence and accusations of trying to deal with artists directly that are the story here, not the simple “A vs B” image comparison.

Better headline: “Alleged gang member kills pedestrian in street-racing crash”

The QA industry needs to unionize. Companies pull this crap all the time. Don’t let them abuse you because you want into the games industry. Part time contract work, no job security, crap pay and abusive schedules. They can do better.

Konami has basically been irrelevant since they launched MGS5 (their last AAA game) so there’s minimal risk with getting on their bad side. Activision, on the other hand, is still very relevant and Keighley doesn’t want to risk losing out on potential marketing deals with them.

“...and I reminded him of some slights that were thrown my way that were never apologized for.”

Well, now we know who the asshole actually was

Wow, Schottenstein’s. I had a friend that worked for them doing layouts for the weekly newspaper print ad inserts, probably around the same time, 2004 or so. It was a job that probably paid about $25,000 annually. Then the design department had to make cutbacks, and he got laid off.

>some goofballs decided to game the market

Ah, the RadioShack method of going out of business it is then.

What was hilarious for me was back in college my friend had a job at the mall and he tried to get me and a few others a temp holiday job. But this store also had one of those automated multiple choice phone prompted questionnaires that was supposed to determine if someone was going to be a good employee or steal from…

Don’t blame them. At least since the 60s/70s corporate executives, millionaires, and politicians have convinced the public that their greed was good and following the late 80s/90s, they, as bottom-line workers, “didn’t deserve a living wage and that you must ‘work harder and harder’ to be rich like them”.

Quite the…

And yet you sat there for 5 years like a sucker.
