And in Japan people are burning down buildings because they think they were plagiarized. Not as different as you think.

Not really? It’s a private company asking people not to litter/enter their property. They can do that here too.

Wow you really stretched that one... based on what SE said, im inclined to believe they meant people who ordered through amazon or other 3rd party store (“some of you”).... the people who ordered directly from SE Probably wont really be effected unless SE straight up says so. And im pretty sure this is the response to…

I mean, that’s like saying McDonald’s fries would be easy to recreate, just get some potatoes....

But here’s the thing. If a person finds a word offensive, apologize and stop using it. For 99.99% of the population, savage is a word with no baggage. We need to stop saying “you can’t say X because I can imagine a specific scenario in which a person might find X offensive under certain circumstances.”
We don’t need to…

So if you bought the original Tetris, it’s ok because you can buy this one, until this one disappears from the face of the earth too and you have to buy another one?

The goals develop, that doesnt mean they’ve moved. No one ever wrote down a checklist and said well, once we hit all these boxes we’re done. The goal is, generally, more representation,less exclusion, and less normalization of ‘status quo stereotyping. What that ends up meaning is dynamic. There is not some quota to…

If you’re implying that this article is an answer to my questions, I disagree. The article is written with the assumption that the reader already knows and agrees that it is a problem we should be upset about. It does not really make that argument, it assumes that argument has already been made and won.

But....why is it a problem if Tarkov decides it will do a war game where the soldiers are male? Nobody really makes a good argument for why that’s a problem, or why that is an issue worth writing long articles about. “Representation is good!” Sure, cool, we agree. But that isn’t the same as “I should care that this…

Well said. I haven’t even finished it yet because it’s so oddly hard. I am really lucky because I have a friend who works at EA and he hooked me up with a code when it came out, so I didn’t pay for it, and after several hours of frustration I found myself thinking that no way I would have paid for it lol. (I would…

Excellent counter question. I’m honestly not in a place now to leave a full detailed and super thought-out answer to this (I keep wasting company time by writing out a super long response, then deleting it), but I think about your question whenever a game gets leaked or spoiled for me, and I personally believe it’s a…

Given the theme of the rest of the missions, it seems more likely that the NPC was intendef to ba a woman they convince to pretend to be the princess. Right up until everything goes tits up because the birthmarks match the mirrored picture and no one bothered to actually read the poster.

Uh, it seems more like they wrote and created a really cool black soldier lady and put her in a very important story position so they wanted to wait to fully introduce her until they do their story focused sequel?

You and 7 other people are complete imbeciles if you think a video game website should be reporting on regular homicides.

It was implied in the statement that he was also a victim of abuse.

I’m pretty sure he means being a victim of mental illness and unfortunately The help he was attempting to get wasn’t working (if that is the reason for an apparent suicide).    We also tend as a culture to use the word victim when it comes to suicide. 

Zoe Quinn did not kill Alec Holowka. Substantiated allegations of abuse which continued into this very summer did not kill Alec Holowka. It is very hard to know what to do with tragedies like this one when he was both victim and victimizer. What we must not do is erase the very real harm he caused many women, no…

The super hack:

Using VR in a sexual situation without consent? Creepy, wrong, weird, and illegal.

I don’t know where you get that impression. In no way was there a tone when he described the business model as “slapping.”
