Wanting a refund for a product you aren’t enjoying is now considered inhumane?

Incorrect, you’re not talking about lives - you’re talking about business.

Would you want to be in the shoes of developers getting their money taken away from people who really had no reason to refund their money?

Okay, I’m going to let you go away and think about this one, because you seem to be having a little bit of a moment.

Read what I said again. Consider how expensive prerendered trailers are - that there are entire VFX companies set up to produce such trailers.

Now, I would be perfectly happy to consider the possibility

So the issue is that you didn’t really read up on the game, overhyped a minor component and now are just calling a single dude a liar and want his apology?

Speaking as someone that was an EA admin, you’re entirely full of shit. You’re trying to pass off the consequences from a well-vetted, appeals-heavy process as some sort of arbitrary thing. You got caught, you got banned - quite possibly by me or one of my team - and you’re crying about it.

Suck it up, Buttercup. You

“I’m not pro-cheating... I just don’t like a company banning people for cheating”

Oh yeah I’ve bought many. If you want to re-sell keys, more power to you.

I for one am glad there’s one company that’s willing to take chances with hardware innovation instead of regurgitating the same console with shinier graphics generation after generation. Nintendo going third party would be a huge loss for an industry that is badly in need of some creativity.

Are you trying to imply that Watergate is culturally irrelevant compared to Gamergate?

It’s the job of localizers to understand the context of their translations. Yes, Watergate kicked off the “gate” phenomenon, but GamerGate is fresh in people’s minds. Though the placement of the screenshots on social media proved more provocative than what’s actually in Paper Mario, if you’re familiar with gaming’s

The reason people think it might be a reference to her is “The Five Guys thing,” in combination with the suffix.

You think they should apologise every time one of their references insults somebody? Are you being purposefully ridiculous?

Wait, so it’s unintentional -and- a direct reference to her?

1) It got one senator who was vying for more votes involved. Not congress. It DID get a huge amount of court cases though, each of which Quinn either lost, or dropped out of - despite being represented by a huge team of highly expensive lawyers.

Offense is never given, it’s always taken. Just because some people go around saying that everything offends them does not mean that others should apologize to them for perceived slights. That’s not how the world works.

Even if you expect large gaming companies to remember this event that affected your friend a few years ago, why should they be compelled to remove content which only she finds offensive? This is not really in the interest of liberalism, the public good, or anything—except this one person.

I’m sorry for what happened. But the “decent thing to do” isn’t Nintendo apologizing for people who twist a reference to the Nixon administration into a joke that a Twitter person dislikes.
