If his concern wasn't for the public, then why is he addressing the public in a blog post?

After a couple of bouts with this game, I can believe his trouble with understanding the concept of "consent".

College Humor hasn't earned the benefit of sarcasm/satire with me. Not everything is deep. Sometimes it's just crap.

Shame they didn't present this instead of the CGI trailer on E3, I would've been much more interested.

Just because they can doesn't mean they should or that we shouldn't criticize them for doing so. End of story.

I think the biggest thing that caused him issues is referring to Donald Sterling as a "victim"; Donald sterling is not a victim. The tape confirmed what people had said for years, the Sterlings are racists who create racist rental property policies; slum lords of the worst kind. Sterling's big "punishment" for all

There is a HUGE difference for me between someone making very real racist comments behind closed doors; and someone having discourse and talking about their opinion on a NEWS STORY. This whole public outrage thing is getting so bad, that you can't even have a dialog about anything anymore, if you don't hold the

Olin's complaints lean a little too much into the area of "the only reason I got in trouble was because people are too politically correct". Sure, we do have a lot of people a little too willing to jump the gun and freak out, but he also wasn't helping his own case by ending the first message with "Donald Sterling is

It's already been said that yes, you have a right to say whatever you want. No, in general, I don't think the media's sensationalist coverage of events (and being picky over which events - Sterling is CLEARLY more important than Benghazi hearings, right CNN, MSNBC, et al.?) is a good informational tool.

Well, I kinda agree with this Olin guy. Kinda. Donald Sterling does have a right to be a bigot in the privacy of his own home. Of course, if anyone were to find out how bigoted he was - say through someone leaking a recording of a conversation he had - that's no longer the privacy of his own home. And of course,

What happened to Olin is exactly what happened to Sterling, a person who made bad publicity for an organization, Turtle Rock Studios and the NBA, respectively, was let go because those organizations didn't want bad publicity. The only thing they are "victims" of is the continued belief that corporate entities are

The man, like so many others in the US, has a really bad understanding of free speech and people's rights. Yes, Donald Sterling absolutely has the right to be an old racist in his home. That's why he's allowed to be one and isn't dragged off to prison. However, that does not make him immune from criticism or

You're right. However, if you like and want to keep your job you may want to say a few choice words.

You don't get it. You can have an unpopular/controversial opinion. You just may need to find a different job.

We all have the right to say whatever we want. But everyone else has the right to hold you accountable for it.

You know what's really sad? The people who can't understand this concept, and feel they should be able to spout anything they want no matter what... they can drive.

On the contrary. Europe, like all other continents, is not lenient towards idiocy and all around - racism.
And Jason is more than right - you are able to express yourself, yet, your words will stick to your name, specially when your name is associated with something larger because that "something" might stand to be

I have 10k followers on Twitter; when I say something there, it's not just voicing an opinion—it's broadcasting that opinion to an audience of thousands. If I got in front of a room full of 10,000 people and shouted racial slurs, I might not be arrested—because I have the right to say whatever I'd like—but I sure

When you work in a public-facing field like community management, the lines between personal and work-related Twitter accounts are blurred. If I were to say something racist or offensive on my personal account, for example, it'd be represented as "Kotaku writer Jason Schreier says something racist!" not "individual

I won't cast judgement as to whether he should or shouldn't have been fired, but when you're a public figure on Twitter with thousands of followers (142k, in his case), your tweets aren't just "expressing opinion" - they're public statements that often do represent your employer, especially when you've got a
