I think it’s silly all around, this stuff, but I also think a lot of core users deliberately blind themselves to just how popular programs like Genshin are. I have my own thoughts and feelings on gacha (bad, smelly, bad) but even if Mihoyo genuinely is trying to put their fingers on the scales I imagine most of the…

They should really hire that Via Bloomberg person to write here instead

“But they don’t get it for now.”

Pokimane was just streaming as far as I’ve read, she’s completely innocent, I think dude deserves a permaban as you said, to send a message.

“Obviously what I did is wrong,” JiDion said, “but how am I supposed to do better the next time if I can never get a next time?”

Federal minimum wage is $7.25, 600 hours adds up to around $4,350.
