“Hogwart’s will likely pull in GotY awards”

Because people working in science and tech have decades of hilariously bad representation in media, so we’re just used to it. The lab you’re talking about wouldn’t even make a top 10 list of most unscientific labs. It isn’t even the worst lab from the Spider-Man franchise.

Communism isn’t any kind of socialism. Socialism is when the workers own the companies they work for. It is democracy of the workplace. Capitalism is dictatorship of the workplace.

Communism is not “pure socialism”. Communism is authoritarianism cosplaying as socialism.

Those things happened despite capitalism, not because of it.

Don’t forget to jam the lock mechanism so their keys don’t work.

In this case, damaging the boot would be a bonus.

You still haven’t provided proof of your claim that the wizard game is good, so don’t whine about me.

I didn’t do any research because I was throwing out hypothetical examples off the top of my head in a meaningless internet argument. I don’t really care why that video has so many views, because you haven’t demonstrated why the number of views is significant.

Real studies control for confounding factors, such as whether or not a person is a fan of the wizard books, and the results are still subjective, just applied to a group instead of individuals.

Do you always lie about what other people said in a pathetic attempt to win a debate?

Now you’re giving yourself a participation trophy. Your “specific data” is weak. The best thing you have is people watched a trailer. I’ve had more intelligent debates with children.

Oh, I’m the one who’s trolling, says the person who doesn’t know what a hypothetical argument is. I didn’t actually look any of those up to verify them, but I do think it’s hilarious that you wasted your time doing it.

As soon as you have some relevant facts, I’ll let you know. In this case, the view count could come from a lot of things:

That’s cute. Has nothing to do with this conversation, though.

Depends on if the game is actually good. If it’s mediocre and sells a lot, like the wizard game, then the IP is popular.

“You seem to be operating under some delusion that IP doesn’t matter and that nobody would ever pay for something based on IP alone.”

When people saw Titanic, were they interested in the IP?

“it’s sequel came out last year, broke several box office records and made a shit ton of money”

No, BotW and TotK are representative of games that get nominated for awards. Games that deserve to be nominated for awards aren’t forgotten about in a month.
