Weird how whenever something is organically popular, the talent behind it just so happens to be evil or something. Watch this new Star Wars thing that’s good actually and its creator is a hecking good person. All the major media outlets are saying it. Don’t look up what her previous jobs were.

I've always heard so much good stuff about Russian Doll but never got around to watch it. Considering how bad the Acolyte is in regards to direction, acting and writing I'm guessing Russian Doll either also sucks ass or it was the other two creators who carried that show

Not so liberal anymore. I'm starting to hate him as much as Kendrick hates Drake.

That's historically exactly what liberals do when fascism is on the rise. Macron just continuing a long line of scratched liberal's turning into reactionaries.

I don't care what the studio did as long as the money isn't going straight to terrorism or something and I'd bet plenty of these people are posting these opinions from Apple Products, a company who has and continues to do much, much worse. I don't bother picking and choosing because there's no point and every big company is evil anyway.

The irony of this is IGN still covering the game and putting out glowing previews included in the OP. lol

The article reads like clickbait. Polygon wrote a similar clickbaity article years ago about Fromsoft: https://www.polygon.com/23375149/elden-ring-malenia-fromsoftware-doll-problem. Should we boycott Elden Ring now?

Is he not doing the right thing though? The people of France have voted for change. Having a democracy means that change can go against you imo. Does it cease to become a democracy if those in power refuse to accept the democratic will of the people

This sounds counterintuitive I appreciate that I just feel that to live in a democratic society we now have to accept stupid people have a shot at power

why should anyone have to care about any imagined harm done at all by these people? i don't even have to care if they apologized or "did the work"! i could just watch the show or play the same or read the book, its all in your head and bothers you. none of that needs to affect anyone other than you!

Actually posted on ree -

Currently playing Cyberpunk for the first time, funnily enough about to go into the DLC. The game is blowing my mind. I thought it was going to be pretty bad, due to the whole backlash. The game is a masterpiece.

How is anyone supposed to feel safe when Ree continues to platform these chuds?

Season 1 was great. I really enjoyed it, but it was completely carried by Natasha Lyonne. Without her, it would have been average at best chick empowerment.

Haven't watched season 2. Never felt the need. Has anyone else seen it?

While I could care less about the type of leakers being discussed in the OP (though I admit I do like knowing about new Pokemon ahead of time, helps me team build and get more excited); my biggest worry with companies clamping down with stuff like this is that it will also make it harder for important leaks to happen that people in these threads seem to ignore and not care about.

AKA leaks that reveal toxic work environments, abuses of powers, bigotry, sexual harassment, crunch etc and to a lesser extent important context for behind the scenes of troubled productions and controversies. Jason Schreier's career wouldn't be as it is if people weren't willing to risk retribution from the toxic leaders to leak info about those abuses; so much of the video games industries horror stories and abuses of power wouldn't be known if this info wasn't leaked out to Journalists or developers willing the possibly destroy their careers because they refuse to remain silent.

It really bothers me that after Jason's article revealing the horror stories behind Anthem and Bioware's previous games, the response from Bioware's higher ups (after trying to disparage Jason didn't work) was to ban their staff from talking to media, making it harder for us to know about the treatment of their employees. That to me is not something we should be cheering unanimously about just because an opportunistic leaker got caught out.

These people are idiots.

Leaking internal projects for internet cred and talking to actual journalist to report on exploitation, poor working conditions and dysfunctional businesses are NOT the same thing.

I realize I am on an island alone here, but I'm of the belief that you can't spoil or steal the thunder from a reveal from a commercial.

Nothing to do with you doing the same at Gaf, with the cryptic shit included. 

No shit, they are glorified commercials, but is still someone job that you are fucking just to get some asspats on the Internet and role play as a e-celeb.

I don’t care about leaks, but the whole e-celeb culture around the leakers.
