I‘d legit pay $50 to watch Black Widow tonight
At least $50...I need something badly. Going crazy.
As would I. Hell - make it $75! It would still be cheaper than taking my family to the theater.
QuoteThey ain’t gonna make a billion off VODRelease Black Widow at $50 VOD to test the waters.
They ain’t gonna make a billion off VOD
I'd gladly pay $50 to see a new release at home because it means I don't need a babysitter and I don't have to deal with crowds or overpriced food. There are very few films that people would pay for the "theater experience" if given the choice on day 1.
If movie theatres do a subscription service does that mean the end of box office weekend?
QuoteAt a certain point you have to sell so many VODs it’s unrealistic.Let’s use the $20 mark. Do you honestly believe 50 million people are buying that? That’s what it would take to make a billion.If Netflix can get 150 million people to pay $10 per month don’t you think the biggest IPs in the world can get people to drop $20-30 on their next big marvel movie?Hell you could probably sell $40-50 extra editions to the hardcore fans.

And none of these Netflix offers have the reach of Star Wars, Marvel or other big movies.20-30$ isn’t exactly a high price and i’m willing to bet there are enough faithfuls that would buy these movies on day 1 (or even special editions) to make them profitable.
Every time I see a Trump-era Garrison comic, I can't help but wonder.Was 4Chan actually right about Dr. "Zyklon" Ben Garrison, Nazi M.D - Or did 4Chan effectively Meme him into the Alt-Right for real?I mean before Trump he was just a Libertarian nutter - One who's comics were extremely easy to make look Antisemetic with the slightest and most subtle edits, but still nothing with glaring red Klaxons. But ever since Trump his content has become absolutely Absurdist and making no effort to Hide His Power Level.
Pretty sure you mean Pillars of Eternity.Pillars of the Earth is purely adventure style with choices.It's based on the Ken Follet book.(Image removed from quote.)

The topic is about stolen accounts and fraudulent accounts being sold on ebay. The person is asking for the Balkan regional pricing support. Balkans are part of EU, one market, the goods cannot be priced differently, digital purchases must work EU-wide without regional locks. When it comes to individual country supports, fair regional pricing, activation of regional priced content, EU laws... Discuss it somewhere else.
We're not doing birthday threads like this.
Just realising how far behind the times I am on this reading the replies.I had heard of stolen and hacked accounts being sold before, but using this as a way to launder stolen credit cards, holy shit. Surely the buyers must end up implicated as well as result of this.
So yea, fuck CDPR (and their brethren).
Shy is mad, apparently the mods closed a thread about Marx.
Goku vs Superman is the topic that literally caused me to sign up to the IGN boards back in the day. So many people were getting things wrong not just about Superman, but Goku too.
I'm sorry but no.Roshi should never had ever, been able to keep up with even Captain Ginyu, never mind someone a million times stronger than him.Also Akira Toriyama has stated that a SSj power up is a 50x increase over base form.He even once stated in an interview I read ages that he believed SSj2 Gohans strength is around 1 billion.
I'll do you one better: I've debated DBZ power levels with another (at the time, the old site) era member in person.If you're reading this, Krillin still sucks dude.
Isnt the game in first person the whole way throigh?
Part of the GTA massive sucess was the "You can fuck a hooker and kill It!" viral marketing aimed at teenagers.
this sounds more like fetichization than inclusion
QuoteQuoteYou'll probably be able to make what the developers think a trans V would be.People really shouldn't be looking for trans representation in this game, going by the marketing at its very best it's going to fetishize trans people.What would make good on trans inclusivity for a character creator?Well, for one, by not defining a trans person by their genitals.

Anybody else find it wonderful that trans-hating CDPR is now going all in on gender modification?
Good resources investment.... /s
Ngl the fact you can combine genitals (they support intersex folks) is pretty cool
I'm a tree-hugging liberal but even I have my limits
Not necessarily, but it'd have to be well designed and considerate. It's possible to have a customizable character with options for genitals, as well as for them being trans. But considering the first time we even saw a sign of trans people existing in the game was with a poster of a feminine sex worker with a big dong
Quote from: trashtabPart of the response was also “I think that sexy bodies are sexy. Full disclosure: I love female bodies. I love male bodies. I love bodies in between. This is who I am.”And why that contradicts what she said?

It doesn't, but it shows that she doesn't understand shit.I mean, someone having a dick and breasts doesn't mean they have an "in between body".
How the hell are people still giving CDPR the benefit of the doubt on this.They've done the best they can to show that they don't deserve it.

What they actually want is a great big prompt that comes up and asks:IS YOUR FEMALE CHARACTER TRANS? YES MAYBEThen when you pick yes, all the dialogue is changed to talk about how amazing and brave the person is for being trans while all the fee-males constantly beg for lesbian sex when you level up. (Also journalist mode is turned on so you can win just by watching.) Then the acceptance and love destroys all the Nazis.
She's a TERF, so it's not far off that she's antisemitic as well.

Quote"Credibly accused rapist"? How many people he is accused of raping? Genuine question here.Is that really your barometer here? So if someone wants to get away with rape, they just go for the one? How do you expect victims to ever actually stop being created with an attitude like that?

If you’re gonna rake her over the coals for this then at the very least another thread should be made for Watto in the Phantom Menace. That’s even more egregious.
Surprise surprise but putting a bunch of well known, long time anti-semitic ideas and imagery onto a particular group of characters it can turn into something uncomfortable if you take even a moment to consider it. Watto from The Phantom Menace is another classic example.
Man, I still can't believe that Watto exists. There's bad and then there's bad. Why did Stephen Spielberg stay friends with Lucas after that one?
Most folklore is based of racial, anti-Semitic or other discriminatory stereotypes.
On the one hand, Watto is a Der Stürmer cartoon rendered in space. He’s not only a greedy, cheating slave-owner—he’s also the tormentor of Shmi and Anakin Skywalker, the Star Wars universe’s own Madonna and Christ. Much like the unscrupulous, greedy banker goblins in the Harry Potter books, Watto reflects antisemitic tropes that are so deeply embedded in popular culture that they can appear regardless of a creator’s conscious intent.On the other hand, Watto is the only representation we Jews get in the Star Wars franchise. As a middle schooler obsessed with the prequels (it was a difficult time to be a Star Wars fan), I took a perverse pride in how this clever Jew outwits the crusader-esque Jedi. How much can we really begrudge Watto for following the cruel economic norms of Tatooine, like the frontier Jewish merchants of yore? He is, after all, a small fry compared to the Hutt crime lords from whom he won the Skywalkers in a bet.

it’s awfully disconcerting how gleefully people here are discussing making their big tit big dick characters with zero regard for how that looks to trans people. and that’s to say nothing of the handful of f*ta stans.

There'll be some who'll see it from an inclusive angle and then there's gonna be a bunch who'll call it fetishization of trans people and likely trample on anyone who considers it positive intersex representation. CDPR just can't win.

Well, I wrote a paper on France’s struggle with identity politics and then did a written exam about telling time and after all that - still can’t speak French in any basic form.
