That’s because that’s only speculation. No one who knew him personally have spoken out about any details.

I understand you had no ill intentions but this was kind of in poor taste, and to add to evidence to counter the idea that he was forced into conventions as a career, he has been well beyond rich enough to never work a day in his life for more than the past 10 years. He did the conventions not because he had to for a…

As a poor kid in the 90s this is very untrue. (Family income just above the foodstamp income level.) The launch prices are accurate but most people I know had a decent collection of games.

The average collection being about 12 games.

What’s changed and why gaming companies have grown their revenue is transitioning to…

Yeah supports feel way too vulnerable now. A Zenyatta pick feels even worse because there’s not enough healing going out.

Yes, but he was not doing that in response to her wanting to go public, which this article suggests. Even her own words don’t suggest that. It’s sensationalizing something that stands on it’s own.

While it very much follows the other actions we know about, we don’t know that he forced her to do that. We only know that she said she suggested to tell the public and that he didn’t want it public.

By focusing on that in the title of the article it weakens the point.

This dude is a piece of shit. That being said, him suggesting they keep the marriage secret is hardly abusive and minimizes the actual abuse he’s doing.

There’s a 3rd way.
3. You know sexual harassment did happen but the harassers were not given a platform to profit off of the drama. (The people sexually harrassing were not “influenecers” they were just shitty people)

Which is how I read this.

Also

It’s good for the press when people break their NDAs for exclusive access.

It’s bad for the press when people break their NDAs for non-exclusive access.

Really there is no moral difference. The difference is the media gets to shame them this time.

Just so my position is clear.
Before the case I came in having met him at multiple conventions thinking he was a bizarre individual, but very nice and extremely extroverted. A lot of the strange public behavior was given to men, women and of both adult and teenage variety. I am among those who thought he was gay due…

I read all the depositions from this case. Personally I think he’s innocent of sexual harassment BUT, and this cannot be expressed enough, this guy is creepy as fuck. During the depositions it came to light that he had a relationship with 2 women who were 18 at the time and that he had known from ‘years of convention…

Why would they include positive details related to the character in an article about the problematic design of the character? It’s off topic and detracts from the point.

Is it weird? Like others have said, a character can be a good character and problematic at the same time. So the character can change someone’s life for the better while also being terrible. Discussing the positive notes minimizes the problems.

You do not need to name someone to defame them. Her actions surrounding the op-ed, her answers to the op-ed, and her actions at the time of the end of the relationship all implied the article was about him, and the jury agreed with that.

It sometimes does, see ...video games, movies, photography. Which is exactly how this flowchart works. An NFT CAN give you the copyright, but it doesn’t have to. It CAN give you a license, but it doesn’t have to.

Yeah NFT as a technology is actually very interesting and has a lot of exciting applications. The art use is currently being focused on and exploited. We’re in the tulip bubble of NFTs. NFTs as a technology are NOT an investment, they’re a technology for verification.

I have found the best practice here is to recognize that not all propaganda is bad propaganda. Sometimes a motivational story doesn’t have to be true, it just has to motivate.

Yes if you look further into this it’s very obvious it’s not real. They are flying way too slowly, they are way too close together, etc.

Right…

Will take me awhile to see what I can find, and I’m honestly curious if I can since it’s looking up sites from the 1996-2000.

As far as his creative writing he has a Bachelors degree in creative writing from USC and a Master of Fine Arts from NYU. One could argue that he didn’t study much writing with those degrees but…

I don’t know of his behavior in Everquest as I didn’t play the game beyond a few characters on friends accounts to the low levels but I was familiar with his map making work. He made many Half-Life and Quake maps that were popular. What was more relevant was his writing credentials, he was hired as a quest designer…

What information has come out against Jeff Kaplan?

I’m not sure why he’s on the list. He had qualifications. Is it in reference to his immature name? Which I will admit was and still is immature, but it’s nothing compared to what is ongoing.

If I have missed reports of problems with Kaplan I welcome being corrected,…
