Fuck this guy.

Just reading what he said made me think he’s a twat.

nope, its understanding the project and scope and setting realistic time tables. But that takes talent and understanding and multiple disciplines. Corp world is so lacking in real talent its scary, it is mostly kiss asses and posers.

And this why Jason is the best. Expose article that’s reported well, and then follow up when things look like they’re changing. I hope that Jason gets to write as many “They’re doing better” follow-up articles as he can. “Blood, Sweat, & Pixels 3: They’re learning”

Improving the culture of a company is a hard thing to do that takes a lot of time. I hope that it works out for all the people on the ground at Rockstar. To make the culture of a company worse, all you really have to do is to start an herb garden.

I was watching that and getting more disturbed as it went on. I’ve never seen that kind of behavior and I found it legitimately distressing. Dude needs anger management, at minimum.

EA doing what Twitter and the rest won’t.

With all due respect, Luke, how can you say “there’s an argument it sets a heavy-handed precedent”, and then, literally in the next sentence, explain why it is in no way heavy-handed:

I’m a lifelong gamer (not really into sports games or e-sports, but whatever), but this looks to be far beyond your everyday ‘toxic gaming’ bullshit and the general shitty corporate stories. This guy sounds like he’s actually potentially dangerous and that he probably needs a serious professional intervention before…

Which doesn’t make the penalty out of line, it just means he’s a moron for jeopardizing his income by being way out of line.

Again, by analogy if someone goes around threatening and harassing people at work, they deserve to get fired.

He has to whisper, EA’s punishment is nothing compared to what happens if he wakes up mom.

Oh NO!!!

Getting banned from a gaming service is a harsh punishment?

I mean, half the stuff influencers/streamers/social media whatevers do, is the same stuff artists and musicians have to do to get their stuff out there. And I can say from personal experience, a lot of work does go into it, especially when most platforms and their algorithms actively push against natural growth and…

While the ban seems incredibly harsh

I mean, just off the top of my head there’s that other big soccer game. PES, right? And there are other types of video games (I just started this really obscure one, Witcher 3 - you probably haven’t heard of it, but it’s not bad so far. These CD Projekt Red guys might have a future if they keep it up), there are…

Doesn’t seem too harsh to me. Taking away toys isn’t a particularly harsh punishment for a misbehaving child, so if an adult is going to actually make threats against people then this is the least I’d expect.

FIFA sure has some issues when it comes to its pros and personalities.

calling zelda casual is a paddlin’ offense.
