That job is not minimum wage.  At least not in NYC and Chicago - they make $45k+ with full benefits.  I mean, it's not great, but still.  She's a complete idiot. 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

she's fired because 'the optics', and because minimum wage shlubs with little training are a dime a dozen.

unless she's got a history of histories could have just had a sit down with a manager to tell her don't neg skinny white boys you kinda think are cute when you're supposed to be LARPing as terrorism prevention

I know you said you’re not “both siding” it but you literally are. Antifa may be a massive pseudo-organisation but the frontlines of it at the communist/socialist/anarchist people and they’re the ones who are most active in opposing fascism. The vast majority of us here oppose fascism, and are vocal about it, but how many of us actively counter protest and spend a good amount of time in active participation opposing fascism? I’d argue not many.

I don’t politically align with communism/socialism/anarchism, and some I strongly oppose their political ideals, but as people they aren’t proponents of genocide and active hatred of people and they act peacefully. An Antifa isn’t pushing a singular ideology, it’s a Venn diagram with a common interest of Fuck fascism; it’s literally in the name. These counter protests aren’t there pushing far left ideologies, they’re there opposing far right ideologies. Individual people within that group might be interviewed and give their take but there isn’t a common cause beyond saying white supremacy is evil.

I blame BisMarckie for not having stopped this.

I am stuffing my face with Paczki and Pierogi, these Polish nazis know how to help their cause.

Like is the idea that it's not so bad if someone blows up a TSA checkpoint instead of a plane?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

TSA is a placebo.
Unless you really believe the biggest terrorist threat is internal to the US, because - I'd say most, but honestly don't have the statistics - a lot of other countries don't have anywhere close to the number of hoops the TSA make passengers jump through for flights headed to the US

Hi everyone ! I just got banned from the neogaf. And I am doing something that will probably interest others if they live within the EU.

I filed a GDPR Erasure request and sent it straight to their lawyer. I don't want evilore to have any of my data or posts. I'm sure there are other users who feel the same way. If more of us do this. The lawyer responsible for neogaf LLC will probably take it more seriously. And we can all just delete our accounts(If your are within the EU it is a right.) He may also continue to also accept request from people out of the EU, as than the precedence is set.

Which is why some of us are a bit leery of some videogame journalists. I get what BronsonLee said earlier, but at the same time I see the tone of few gaming sites I visit. My eyes work just fine.

Weren't those guys supporting EGS because they are friend to the devs? Oh wait, I get it, their devs not others. Like how he shilled Valve employees getting a vacation period are "lazy" instead of simply having good working conditions.

He writes about crunch in the industry then mocks another company for treating their employees well.

He is all for developers making more cash but then accuses a developer of cynically documenting their experience with Epic as some sort of sales tactic.

Seems rather flip-floppy to me.

Imagine accusing the game developer of cynicism in response to... Epic seeing a game a couple of weeks away from release on Steam and trying to bribe it away.

It's really odd why journos pick the store with its anti consumer scummy methods. Why aren't they covering how bad EGS behaviour is?

Capitalist bootlickers? Ends justify the means?

I really don't know. Everyone they're forced to argue their reasons, they're utterly specious.

Am to understand that Epic ONLY allows indies on it's store, IF they sign an exclusivity agreement, regardless if they take money from Epic or not?
Because that is something people should look into ( jschreier ).

He doesn’t give a shit. He’s already made his mind on this whole mess

That dev probably turned down some good guaranteed upfront money and EGS gluttonous exclusivity deal spree is a big story that might reshape the whole market of PC videogames. Why the fucking smugness ? Where does the whole accusation of "martyr" came from ? I perused the medium post by that dev and I don't see it. He's kind of scared but is that unwarranted considering Epic is literally a multi billion business right now ? I guess debate can be had on how appropriate it was for him to disclose some of the communication he had with the EGS representatives but I would imagine Journalists® would be interested and not just dismissive.

Publicly declining an Epic exclusivity deal is probably worth a fair bit in terms of publicity considering how apprehensively people are approaching EGS.

Which I find delusional.

Dunno what it looks like on Twitter, or elsewhere.

Just cutting in here to say, lay off Jason, he’s got hot takes for days, but if you can’t understand why he might choose to side against “gamers”, you need to consider the amount of, what I assume is constant, harassment him and his colleagues face from “gamers”.

If I had to contend with that on the daily, I’d be hard pressed to see the good in siding with the people who harass me.

 

What does it have to do with a flippant take on what a dev said ?

[VomKriege]

Lots of people are in danger, fam.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I rejected their offer before we had a chance to talk about money.

 

Before I get into this, I would like to emphasize that I’m not speaking on behalf of other developers.

I wish there wasn’t a double standard and indie developers were given an equal oportunity to sell their games across multiple store fronts, so the players can enjoy what they seem to want the most: a choice.

online gaming store preference identities.

[VomKriege]

People are alluding to Schreier taking a jab at Valve for a company wide vacation, and I looked for the article.

The Epic Store, which launched last year, has been racking up exclusives thanks to lucrative deals for publishers and a developer-friendly revenue split. (...) There’s no extra cost associated with switching between the two PC launchers, so for those who are upset, this appears to be about convenience and principles.

This reads like copy-pasted PR.

Meanwhile, you can expect these Epic Store controversies to continue at least until Valve relents on that 70-30 per cent split, which might affect their yearly company-wide Hawaii vacations but would probably make game developers’ lives a whole lot better.

Jason Schreier has (what I assume is a constant) loathing for gamers, developers, and store fronts due the harassment he and his colleagues face from "resetera members constantly demanding to know why he isn't commenting on the daily outrage".

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Imagine accusing the game developer of cynicism in response to... Epic seeing a game a couple of weeks away from release on Steam and trying to bribe it away.

bribe 

Good stuff.

Its telling Epic is buying off devs near the release of steam games. They really dont mind showing up with the money bags, dont they?

 

This is reminds me of people getting mad at limp bizkit because they sold out.

[VomKriege]

Imagine accusing the game developer of cynicism in response to... Epic seeing a game a couple of weeks away from release on Steam and trying to bribe it away.

bribe 

That's ERA hyperbole for you but it's pretty aggressive nonetheless for Epic to suddenly offer an exclusivity deal two weeks to release, without even securing some NDA or minimal confidentiality with the dev.

Like if it wasn't really well thought out and not very considerate of developers having to suddenly renege commitments to their customers.

[shosta]

What commitments to customers? Pre-orders?

[Nintex]

When I read stuff like that from a journalist like jason schreier I kinda wish we never gave kotaku attention on this site but thats just me. There's something very suspicious with journalists and EGS as a whole.

There's nothing suspicious about sweet Chinese money bub

The EPIC GAME STORE is... EPIC. It already says so in the name.
STeam, what's that? Vaporized water LMAO.

Paypal me China

[Tripon]

What commitments to customers? Pre-orders?

Wishlists, which aren't even preorders, most like remind me when it comes out. That said, it's hilarious that's seems to be Epic's primary way to determine if an indie game is good enough to be on its store.

[VomKriege]

What commitments to customers? Pre-orders?

Kickstarter promises in some cases. Here it's not a legally binding one but having a trailer announcing the release on Steam in 18 days only to just have to go "well forget that, I'm on EGS now" if he took the deal is pretty silly and it would bother me as a potential customer.

Kinda make the whole "This is for the devs" spiel ring hollow.
