Kirblar's sentence has been handed down from the tribunal of mod captains

User banned (3 Weeks): Relativizing and justifying war crimes and the murder of civilians.

Pure BS. This criminal has been banned 3 times this year alone.

Kirblar would be a little more credible as a rugged realpolitik "adult on the board" type if he was actually more cynical about it. But he always end up making the "benevolent" argument without any mention of the more morally dubious pursuit of the nation's interests and preserving your place in the pecking order.

Also that whole cognitive dissonance of getting the vapours at Russian running influence campaigns while always being OK with any form of US actual, literal warfare.

This thread is amazing. Couple of "experts" working overtime to defend Boeing, while blaming it on the pilots / airlines

one time my friend was house sitting for his mom so we were going to meet there after he got off work (around 11:30pm) so I got there like 15 minutes earlier than expected but didn't know the exact address was so went to a nearby park and sat in the parking lot. around 5 minutes later a cop pulled up and shined a flashlight in my face, almost blinding me and causing emotional pain. he asked me what I was doing, I explained and he said "oh, well the park is technically closed so you can't be here." then he told me to leave. I was shaking because of how close I came to death at that moment.

I'm sure there are plenty of people in Hollywood who would love to make blockbusters that aren't fucking comic books as well.

It would probably help if audiences actually wanted to go see those hypothetical non-comic-book blockbusters.

How the hell is EA going to bioware and saying "hey why don't you have a service based microtransaction factory?" not pressuring them to make anthem? Schrier directly said their performance was compared to fucking FIFA.

Holy shit, Jansen's posts are literally gone. He was completely wiped from the site. That's complete bullshit.

Jumanji making almost a billion, so they just pad out the cast harder for the next one:

Is not strange that is always Bungie and BioWare declaring they “made the game they wanted to make” and neither Activision or EA forced their hand? (Even though Bungie needed to buy themselves back and Anthem is a obvious patchwork that is still in beta).

[benjipwns]

lol first two replies to that thread:

I remember hearing how EA was actually a decent place to work, so this doesn't surprise me too much

Wow!!!!!! I can't believe it takes a fucking reporter to say what's been said by Bioware for months!!!!

It's almost as if working at EA isn't some flesh pit fuckhouse like you maggot mouths suggest!!!

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

From https://metacouncil.com/threads/epic-game-store-spyware-tracking-and-you.766/, originally from Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/PhoenixPoint/comments/b0rxdq/epic_game_store_spyware_tracking_and_you/

that stealth forum recruitment drive 

aaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd locked by sweetfuckall because of "a lack of information or misinformation"

Butttttttttt BACK with the even more "Wait, wtf? Fuck you Epic" headline, and yet another not-sostealth-forum-recruitment-drive because yes, resetera is fucking shit as its primary purpose as a games forum.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/developing-epic-games-launcher-appears-to-collect-your-steam-friends-play-history.105385/post-18850664

And the saga continues, as resetera.com LLC administrator and Chinese market analyst makes sure the tencent owned epic response is added both to the OP and as a threadmark.

And that response?
 "Yeah, we harvest a bunch of data we have no real right to access without asking before doing it, but it's just to save you some time if you decide you want us to have that data later!"

 

[benjipwns]

For sure, but that's not EA going to BioWare and saying "you need to make us a Destiny clone" - it's EA saying "if you want resources, show us how your game is going to make long-term revenue." Huge difference there!

yeah, the latter has a much bigger threat implied

[Boredfrom]

So what did Jansen do?

[benjipwns]

I like all the posts saying that EA is not to blame in anyway or whatever...but one of their jobs upper management is for obstinately is to stop their studios from fucking up.

[benjipwns]

It's funny reading posts that seem reasonable and thought out until you think about it, like this one:

I think people shit on EA and Activision for the wrong reasons. They aren't corporate suits who force devs to make last years hit game and stuff it with microtransactions. Instead, their problem is that they give zero useful guidance and direction. In theory EA and Activision should both be learning very useful things from their big and small studios and competitors and distilling it info useful info that can help all their companies. Mistakes learned from battlefront 2, what PUBG/Fortnite means for the industry, etc.

Instead both seem like clueless parents who just tell their kids "do whatever man, just be happy (aka make us lots of money)" and when their studios fail miserably they just wash their hands of them.

Activision owns Call of Duty AND Treyarch, Black Ops 4 by any standard hit every single metric they could want while dumping the single player (which can't be monetized as easily) for a battle royale and stuffing it full of microtransactions like the other two multiplayer modes.

Activision ultimately did not own Destiny or Bungie and they were coming up on having to renegotiate a deal that didn't meet a single one of the original goals when it was made ten years ago, so they let Bungie take it.

EA isn't interested in putting big money into video games unless they can have a revenue tail

The worst trend is game journo's always picking up corporate non-speak.
I hated it when it started with "SKU" and I hate it now with "Roadmap" and "Revenue tail"

Yeah, much of a "revenue tail" Anthem will have going if everyone hates it at launch.
Also a reminder that journalists have as much a stake in these 'games as a service' thingies as the publishers have.
A game they can keep reporting on as it launches from mediocre to passable is better for clicks than a one-off big hit title.
Not to mention they are 'influencers' that get to test and praise this shit before it launches. But like a bunch of Star Wars fanboys they never warn the developers.
That always comes later when they actually review it.  "During the playtest we didn't want to say their game was boring because we got so much nice swag"

They praised Anthem at every preview while we knew it was fucked when EA started throwing out terms like "an unfinished world" and had a 2 minute demo on loop in their "big reveal".

Also EA refusing to fund games that don't have some sort of 'ROADMAP' really shows how much they actually influence these decisions.
At some point everyone acts the way EA wants them to because they don't want to lose their jobs.

[benjipwns]

In retrospect, EA's E3 seemed like they were publicly shaming their development teams.

[benjipwns]

Not to be confused with Konami's 2010 E3 where the developers publicly shamed the company in EXTREEEEEEEEME ways.

Last Friday:

User Banned (Duration Pending): Inflammatory dismissal of sexual abuse allegations; account still in junior phase

User Banned (Duration Pending): Antagonizing other members over a series of posts, history of trolling

User Banned (Duration Pending): Misogynist rhetoric and dismissing concerns surrounding equal representation

Last Thursday:

User Banned (Duration Pending): Inflammatory drive-by post dismissing allegations of abuse, numerous accumulated infractions for inflammatory behavior

Always happy to help mods!

All these are now updated to actual ban lengths! Three one months and a permanent.

Saturday ones still pending.

edit: Oop! This one just turned into a month too!
