Some over here at Kotaku too; the amount of passes Halo Infinite is getting for lack of content and toxic development is astounding.

The abhorent sexism and racism speaks for itself, but what I found most interesting about the linked Discord was the awful assumption that workplace culture “belongs” to him. It’s a cliche, but a cliche for a reason that the hard right assume everything is a battle in a culture war, because to them it is. The idea…

I know people in comments are disappointed by the apparent low level of the settlement, but do try and see the incremental effects this will have on those fighting for better conditions within the industry; the two major factors that prevent staff fighting back are the hellish NDAs we end up signing, which demand the…

“Meanwhile, Kan issued a short video statement of his own, alongside warnings that this Discord scam had been perpetrated on other NFT communities as well.”

“However, if someone steals money by gaining a customer’s account number and password, there is nothing that can be done.”

“Expensive and arguably overpriced totally, but predatory is marketting to children.”

Funny thing is, one of their staff recently interviewed me because of my experience in the industry and having to try and go to court due to harassment. Not sure what’s on record or not, and the story with ActiBlizz has since moved on, but it’s not like you can’t click my own comment history and see I’ve been fighting…

Which is why I point out that even in the author’s own admission the product is badly designed. Reading the comment you’re attacking is even harder, apparently.

Except the bit where I quoted the conclusion telling all critics to go somewhere else.

Yes, it’s a F2P game. And what is the economic model of F2P games...?

No see, you’re not allowed to ask for improvements. You have to go somewhere else because you personally are responsible for the cognitive dissonance of those who love the series, but deep down are aware that they’re getting far, far less quality content... And it’s not the economic model thats at fault, it’s you for…

People posting replies to what they imagine someone said, and then going on a campaign attacking their own neurosis happens far, far more often than that... as you just proved.

Someone else has already explained the idea of intrinsic value to you; that you don’t apparently want to understand it says more about your personal lack of standards than anything else. I do look forward to hearing where I actually said the game should be entirely free though; deep down, I suspect you know that’s not…

Hmmm.

And while Britain was a relatively more tolerant country at the start of the war, initially very welcoming to the 150,000 Black American soldiers arriving in the U.K., in 1942 the British government directed that “it was desirable that the people of this country should avoid becoming too friendly with coloured…

Not mentioned in this article, or very obviously in the developer’s twitter that I could see; what hardware this is actually running on. Unreal Engine was mentioned, so I suspect it’s a PC release...?

Does anyone remember the innocence of the early internet? We thought access to information would free people’s minds, and anonymity would free them from tyrannical government... Instead, broken, lonely individuals just used it to create bizarre alternate realities where hatred and social failure is normal, and freedom…

Coming to this a bit late, but former EA staff perspective here; There are a lot of people asking how renaming a character helps the ActiBlizz staff, especially with regards to the sexual harassment that ActiBlizz is fighting hard to avoid responsibility for. And the answer is renaming McCree actually does help, but…

Ultima Online is only briefly mentioned, but it’s hard to over-emphasise just how impressive the multiplayer aspect seemed at the time; I can still remember seeing the back of the jewel case of Ultima IX Ascension and from a position of maybe 8 player local co-op (which required special cartridges or dongles at the…

Ever been in a situation like this?
