It’s not really explainable that way.
1) Twitch isn’t a publicly traded company. It’s a subsidiary of Amazon which is, and as such is an Amazon product/asset rather than a shareholder company. They are responsible to Amazons leadership and shareholders, but the abstraction adds a buffer in business decisions like this.

Mitsoda is a bit hard to gauge, because he still has the indie studio DoubleBear productions, which was active up until he started work on VTMB2. I don’t know what’s happening with that, but I do know that he does not enjoy limelight, and only did promo work for VTMB2 because he was required to. All taken together I…

I just don’t get how these companies can not understand that they are playing with peoples livelihoods. Like how do they not understand their own product AT ALL?
Of course stuff like this is going to cause a shitstorm, and yet they push changes like this time and time again without, soliciting community feedback FIRST.

Is it? Or is it another standard exploitation of the “independent contractor” label that so many American corporations use to get out of having to treat their employees like employees, and avoid being accountable for anything they do?
Honest question, I don’t know how FaZe is structured.

Finally, a review I agree with from start to finish.

Yeah I was going to say “kick him out”, but then I remembered: This is FaZe. Might as well just get rid of the whole thing altogether. No point in kicking a bad apple out from the trash pile.

It looks... fine? No major excitements; not particularly delicious, not particularly healthy, but not particularly unhealthy either. Just, you know, fine?
There’s a lot of it though. If I got that spread as a kid I’d dump most of it and just eat the snacks, which kind of defeats the purpose of the greens.

Depending on the country/state, truth is not a component of blackmail nor extortion charges (for example in the UK) but either way I wasn’t really talking about legal ramifications, which I probably should have specified.
I was talking about ethics within the creator community, and what sort of demands we as the…

Both can probably apply equally well depending on what you focus on.
Extortion is when the threat is violence or abuse of power (abusing the power of his channel to bad-mouth the game) and blackmail is when the threat is revelation of information (the reveal that they had problems playing the game/understanding the…

I feel like most of the details of this case are irrelevant - all of this is the same everywhere, there’s little new to debate. The only interesting thing to discuss here is the idea of what constitutes blackmail in these spaces, because I don’t feel like that’s been up that much.

This seems like a non-story? The very reason those values don’t mean anything in the game, is because they’re nonsense - most likely why they were canned.
They likely tried it out, found out that it didn’t feel good, and dumped them when they couldn’t come up with a better system that would fit the deadlines. No…

I am - if he decided to USE the thing *as a tool in grading papers* I absolutely 100% would expect him to know the bare minimum (we’re talking a 5 minute youtube video worth of information here) about what an LLM is and isn’t.

The game is published by 505, but all the charm and quality has gone 404.

Fuck that’s depressing.

Same. But in the end, I don’t care all that much about launch issues anymore anyway.
They will be fixed eventually, and at this point in my life I’m
A: Not going to take time off work for a launch, and
B: Have other stuff I can do if I can’t get in/it keeps crashing/whatever.

If the theoretical issues persist after a…

I’m not into horror in general, be this seems like it would be perfect as a short film < 30 min’ish... whether it works as feature length? Not so sure.

When Kerbal Space Program 2 secretly launches inside a Zelda game.

HOLY. SHIT.

Delphine Software didn’t live in vain

What makes you think there is any ideology behind what he does? He does it because it gives him attention and money.
That’s why his political “stances” are all over the place, he doesn’t have any, he’s just an attention/algorithm grifter.
