I kind of get it. The Root’s comment section has been infested with racist shitstains for a while now. Of course, you could also invest in better moderation but that would cost ol’ Spanfeller a tenth of a new yacht or something.

When someone has to group blacks and women together in a single apology, you kind of need to know all you need to know about that person.

I know I’m not the only one who clicked to see what Halle Berry looks like covered in slime so I have to ask: does Instagram take an insufferably long time to load for anyone else?

There needs to a kind of Clippy for old people when they are being interviewed.

He wants everyone to be able to live the way they want to live, including Black people.

This is a strange argument. Apatow’s responsible for finding funny people to be in his movies, and for making sure those people behave professionally during the movies. Brand is very funny in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and none of the allegations here concern any conduct during the filming of an Apatow movie. I don’t…

Patriot Act is a great show, though, especially his interview with Trudeau where he asks him to stop sending hundreds of millions of dollars to Saudi Arabia’s genocide against Yemen and gets a, “Well, it’s an economically beneficial arrangement” out of the PM.

Or better, bring back The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.

I think people are missing some of the nuance here. Obviously, no one expects a comedian to tell the 100% truth during their sets. We know there’s a level of deception. But there’s a big difference between telling a fake story for a laugh and telling a fake story that hurts real people.

Wolf is also critical of the #MeToo movement in her special, calling it “the worst-run movement I’ve ever seen,” because, as she explained to RS, “I think it was a very black-and-white approach that they took, when in fact it was an incredibly gray subject matter that required a lot of conversations that we literally…

Have never watched his standup, but are these just stories for his act or is he like, in interviews making the same claims? If it’s the former I don’t really care - if you believe anything a stand-up says on stage is literally real rather than a setup for laughs or a story, you’re an idiot - but if it’s a Steve…

Hell, I uninstall games all the time when I get bored, then re-install them a month later.

I don’t even expect them to try to collect from Microsoft, or any other storefront. It’s clearly a damage control line that they don’t seem to think anyone will actually apply even the most basic legal scrutiny to. I’m sure somebody in Unity’s legal department has drafted and deleted like ten different e-mails to…

Yeah, this part was beyond absurd and utterly laughable. I can see Microsoft’s response when they get a bill. *Reads the bill... raises eyebrow. “Erm, no.” Tosses crumpled paper into waste basket and it is never acknowledged again.

These people are going to get legally murdered

I have to have reinstalled Skyrim 20+ times.

“developers like Aggro Crab would not be on the hook, as the fees are charged to distributors, which in the Game Pass example would be Microsoft.”

Another example is with something like the Steam Deck. Switching between different Proton versions for the same game counts of a new "install"

The “fraud” aspect is such a weird approach also. If you completely removed bad-faith actors from the equation, there’s still tons of people who may just have to reinstall multiple times to fix some bug, mod a game, or just don’t have a lot of storage space. Are devs supposed to report those as fraud also? How would…

It’s unsurprising that all of this is happening 3 years after Unity had an IPO and just 1 year after they took major investment from venture capital and private equity. This is classic short-term profit boosting at the expense of long-term brand value. It’s also predatory rent seeking behavior from a company looking…
