The CCP is a monster created BY capitalism though. The race to the bottom is why China has as much economic power it does now. Giving a totalitarian power access to WTO and global markets is capitalism putting profit above all else.

It’s also because they’re aware that the Winnie the Pooh meme is an outlet that lets democracy activists and other critics of the CCP get a dig in on top of Xi and others being thin-skinned, so they feel obligated to ban it. Strongmen have to protect their image at all costs.

To their credit, the community had gotten Nintendo to a point where they were going “Alright, we’ll start supporting you guys to a point provided you do xyz and so on.”

Nah its all the woke SJW’s fault. /s

And they all wonder why Nintendo continually doesn’t want to acknowledge their scene’s existence...

Without some sort of governing body, it seems like it’s back to outting people on social media and hoping the community self-polices and shuns those people.

When forced to choose to slide to the Left or slide to the Right, Capitalism will *always* choose to slide Right.

.... is it not already banned? I figured a lot of the themes would have already resulted in it not being offered over there.

“...the Code of Conduct Panel was established in 2018 to provide competitive Smash with an infrastructure for handling allegations against players and other community members, ranging from destruction of property to physical attacks and sexual abuse”
It is extremely sad (and worryingly, not surprising) that this was…

There’s nothing about capitalism that other users haven’t already pointed out.

If corporations were an ice cream flavor they would be water.

“After receiving many messages from gamers, we have decided not to list the game in our store.”

Cowardice, and stupidity.

You talk like CDPR is only able to pay expenses out of current revenue, which is not how this business works. My guess is that they have pretty substantial cash assets to fund production (after all, Witcher 3 made a metric fuckton of money). If not, they still have the option to raise more money from investors or just…

I agree with this. They’re a big, wealthy company that’s not struggling to make payroll. Would it have upset shareholders to delay the game again? Yes, shareholders want to see revenue now, not later. Would it have been better for consumers to delay? Absolutely. They weighed their options knowing exactly what they…

I know what you’re getting at, but CDPR is the largest publicly traded videogame company in Europe, worth over $8 billion. This isn’t a single make or break game for them. They’re sitting on GOG, which they own and take cuts from every sale through. They’ve also built a sterling reputation and years of strong sales…

They’re lying. From only sending out PC codes, to ordering takedowns of console footage, to not showing base console footage themselves, it’s clear they knew it was a problem, and they hid it.

I have a feeling a lot of people are putting the console upside down just because the disc drive is more accessible that way. Stood as intended it’s really awkward inserting a disc due to the way the white shell protrudes over the drive. It’s equally annoying stood vertically.

There’s no reason to believe an external drive is any more vulnerable to jailbreaking than the internal one, as long as they’re manufactured in the same way. It’s not like the internal drive is sealed, it can be removed and its connectors interfaced with just the same as you can with any external drive. The only…

Nah, I feel good about it. The disk model is an obvious design compromise that unnecessarily complicates the production chain, splits factory time, and looks like a tumour.
