I am guessing what they are doing is avoiding having to pay steam to list their new game.

Yeah, it’s pretty awful. Some of them are already gone from the Activision ID list, but sad that so many still remain. And well, that they were ever there in the first place. 

I’ve been visiting the Warzone Reddit and there’s a specific post relating to this with (at the time) 47,000 upvotes and it’s just the poster scrolling through pages and pages of racist names. Pretty shocking, they should be insta banning every single one of them. 

I see a ton of n-word names along with the MAGA clan tag. They should ban that one too

The problem is a lot of dipshits use creative spelling or replacing numbers with letters to get around it and bots can't really detect them very well. It's pretty bad.

thank you for giving voice to this. as a white man who feels implicit guilt for the structures that exist and oppress today, i know the temptation to ask black friends for guidance on how i can better serve change. that’s often neither right nor fair, regardless of the intention. let POC, let your friends, be people.

It’s hard to understand the mental trauma you endure. I’m not black, maybe I can’t fully understand it but it helps that I’m not white either and I’m not American. I remember one day in school when I was around 10 or 11. One of our teachers gave us a lesson on the israeli oppression of Palestinians during the intifada…

George Floyd was murdered by the police, and I can’t tell you how hard it’s been to work, to write, or to live since then

Thanks for this.

I hear you. 

You’re damn right your life matters. Part of showing it matters is by creating a life worth living.

Well said.

Thank you. And to anyone asking “what does this have to do with video games?": Fuck you indeed.

I just finished TLOU for the first time last night. Got the remaster on the PS4 Pro. I will say that I am fully spoiled for TLOU2 but I don’t get why everyone is hating? Are we really that reliant on “twists” and “surprises” that we can’t enjoy a story for what it is? The gameplay they’ve shown so far looks (and…

We are headed that way. The cost of developing one AAA game is so high that they need DLC and season passes to break even and keep the players engaged for as long as they can while a second or even third team pours over feedback and tons of data to figure out what works, what doesn’t and how to best shape the features…

It’s OK, though. He merely had to torch the bar and an historic building and kill a coworker to get the money back.

That was a goddamn delight. Best episode of the season. “Jackie Daytona” is a glorious name and Berry saying it in his unique way every time was always hilarious.

Mark Hamill was great as a vampire, especially with the makeup and costume as this was one of his best acting performances in a while. I hope we’ll see more of him in the future or at least in costumes for Halloween.

Just noticed he does a hand movement towards the camera like ‘get out of here with that now’ and the shot changes. MORE funny!
