That message, two sources say, is bolstered by a message from Riot management: It’s time to move on.

who’d have thought a game with 100% deus vult aesthetic and 4% community moderation, on the PC, would attract this crowd.

Great post. These comments are horrifying. The sheer vitriol of many people here is astounding, especially given how incredibly misinformed they are. This is a company which advertised itself as providing a full-time job–hence the class action suits in California, which Uber lost. Really despicable to see this kind of…

Man, these comments are super disappointing - why are yall so adamant about sticking up for corporations? Are they paying you?

Let’s go over some things here:

1. Back in 2015, Uber and Lyft actually did pay a very nice wage. Remember all the fluff pieces backed by Uber and Lyft talking about drivers earning over 100K…

People drove taxis as a job. Stop blaming the poor and start blaming corporations.

go find yourself an overpaid executive loafer to lick 

Oh look. A company has to cut fat, yet pay the top guy millions of dollars for this failure instead of sacking his ass.

I agree. All these kids in the comments claiming that you can’t copyright a dance like they’re lawyers when the quickest of google searches shows, yes, you can, could since practically the dawn of time, and it is as simple as video taping yourself doing it first.

Why exactly? The copyright law that protects dance choreography was enacted decades ago. Companies are charging real money for something he created, why shouldn’t he get a cut? It’s not like this is some generic dance, Fortnite calls it the Fresh emoji for fuck’s sake.

this is the epitome of white owned corporations stealing black culture appropriating and monetizing it.  this reminds me of the Twerking Santa figurine.  its disgusting.

I hate to say it but, that not actually true, since the 1970s. You just copyright it as choreography.

That’s like saying you can’t own a song, cause we all have voices. Can’t own a book, cause we all have fingers to write. Can’t own a game, cause can all type code. Absurd argument.

I should be shocked how gamers went from “ra-ra consumer rights!” to “please go back to being a defacto monopoly!” on a fucking dime.

I was wondering what I would do with the last two hour of my shift. The answer is smang that F5 button for some nuanced discourse about intellectual property, black culture, and artistic liscence from the foremost experts in the field: Gamers.

I hope this is the first of many.  If you’re going to make money off the culture, the people that create the culture should be rewarded

He’s living his best life and making crazy amounts of money playing fighting games. Hating on that seems a lot more “cringe” to me.

Friendly reminder that not everyone wants to deal with your nerd box.

all hail the rainbow cube. may it crush us until we, too, are immaculately cube-like in shape

You know, this is a horseshit comment, and while your intentions are no doubt good, you appear to have forgotten where you’re aiming. This is Kotaku. We have our faults, but pulling punches ain’t one of them.
