Games

Holy shit you aren't kidding!

I'm looking at the releases and honestly none of those games are Day 1 must buy for me.

I think the Saudis bought it for the sports games. And those games are pretty cookie cutter and they sell well thanks to the chuds.

June 1st to June 30th. They highlight the lipsevice to LGBT stuff in dragon age

They’re in alignment with a sense of pride and accomplishment, I guess?

Ever since Dragon Age Origins? Their published games ever since then have been incredibly LGBT safe.

I wish they made good games so I could boycott them. Instead of infinitely remaking the same four sports games.

If it benefits the company to lie about impending layoffs, then management will lie. It's baffling how many people have difficulty with this concept.

"Hey remember Tali in Mass Effect? Yeah make all the women dress like that"

In fact take it further and cut em up

Beheadings, shooting people with impunity, monarchism, modern slavery, being the origin country of the most 9/11 hijackers, underaged arranged marriages, paying random women and girls from the Internet to go over there and then literally shitting on them. Buying children from Trump to sex traffic... and yes, using violence and torture to surpress journalism and political dissent.

A tale as old as time. Hedge fund buys a company. Company has too much debt from the buyout. Hedge fund strips out assets of the company. Company dies.

Well aside from how EA and the Saudis suck for distinct reasons - that blatant crime has to end.

'We bought your company and it owes us the price we paid for you!' Nope. Fraud. Jail.

Reminds me of that Ricky Gervais golden globes roast, where he looks at the actors in the face and says something like "half of you would happily work for Al Qaeda if your production company demanded it"

I’ll never touch another of their games again under any circumstances.

What about the circumstance of having pirated the game?

I mean paying for your place and food till you get a different job seems like a reason.

gaming and the tech market arnt exactly hiring in large numbers anymore. they might not even find another job if they quit.

Have you seen the state of the games industry? Layoffs everywhere, not sure there’s too many places to jump ship to

I want you to know it did not take me long to find this.

Yeah, this can’t be a partisan thing. That’s just feeding into the same nonsense division governments manufacture. It has to cross those aisles and educate folks on the fact that all working class are in the same battle against the same collective ruling class around the world. We’re seeing authoritarian regimes forming around the world and they are working together. We have to do the same.

You, 2 weeks ago. Emphasis mine.

So worker solidarity and all that, but "employees who don't hold shares, including many who are classified as "'temporary fulltime,'" don't count. Just like they don't count for healthcare and labor protections. They're just villains eh?

Well, one way or another, I agree with something you said. It's just unfortunate you don't.
