Except OW doesn’t lock Tracer or Reaper behind a loot crate.

And you would not have a numbered official replica prop collectible, which is the point of this thing.

Cosmetic loot boxes are just as sleazy when their contents are time limited. Which they almost all are.

Worker and consumer rights are absolutely moral issues, largely because compensation for labor and the cost of goods (at least under capitalism) is fundamentally exploitative in execution. Usually, we roll with it and that’s fine. For instance, I don’t have a problem giving my guy at the bodega a buck for a soda even…

Okay, some further editorial.

Loot crates have always been a moral issue that the industry (publishers, devs, journalists, influencers, and whoever else) has mostly ignore or dismissed and that’s incredibly screwed up. Even cosmetic focused crates, which don’t affect gameplay, use specific audio/visual cues and…

hold on - let me work it, put my thing down, flip it and reverse it.

Freelancing CAN earn you a living wage, but you’re living from job to job which is why those residuals are so important. People who are primarily voice actors aren’t exactly getting paid like movie stars, either. So ya gotta hustle.

I think in an age where games get re-released and remastered more than ever residual payments for actors make sense. Especially for long term future of titles now that may be also remastered down the line.

And while I strongly agree with the idea that the talented artists that make the products should also be due for…

As in the most recent season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, where the sexual tension between the amoral Nathaniel Plimpton and the altruistic (kinda) Rebecca Bunch has bloomed into a sexual relationship

Which is disgusting.

Why is no one talking about being able to make your pokemon totem sized? I can’t wait to make my pokemon all huge!

don’t even get me STARTED on what happens in Tresspasser

They’re being awfully optimistic. The truth of the matter is probably something closer to “Indie development is dead.” The market is over-saturated. Your game didn’t sell because there are too many games and you didn’t get lucky. Genre probably wouldn’t have made a difference. That being said, I’ve heard good things…

What I heard is that they don’t really pay per hour, but per drawing. The per hour rate is just an estimate based on the output they expect.

Focusing on a single industry sort of helps create those votes and legislation changes though. Sometimes a narrow focus can make the issue seem that much more real to people.

Fuck yeah I’ll watch this. The era of adapting dull, AAA game-adapted movies is over.

Maria passed by and blew the electrical lines down. I live in Puerto Rico, so you might have read all about the Hurricane Maria, which really cause a disaster over here. Still waiting for the electricity to come back...eventually it will comeback, slowly.  

I refuse to ever imagine I’m either of those :p
