Because you invested in a shit plan or simply made your investments poorly. I know plenty of people who are doing well on their retirement investment plans, and I’m doing fine too. Don’t blame America, the country, for your shitty decisions.
Where is there any evidence that such a culture exists? The remake trend is being driven by corporate execs at gaming companies that see remakes as more financially safe than new games.
Lemmy overall is just difference shades of red. Picking your instance just allows you to select pink vs. crimson.
I understand the benefit of prioritizing short-term gains over long-term when you intend to flip the property. That’s not what this is though. Explain to me how driving away the most valuable asset of a company turns a profit before you start calling people naïve. You sound like you’re talking out of your ass.
Ah. Well, doesn’t really matter how it’s spun. The Escapist was that company’s golden goose, and they just chased it off. Anyone with any brains in the industry or in private equity will be able to see that, regardless of spin. This isn’t in the interest of short- or long-term gains, it’s just a company-ending error by a fucking stupid exec.
What makes you say the Escapist was underperforming?
Nothing looks better on a corporate resume than taking over a successful business and immediately alienating all the talent that made it successful. I don’t know who the jerkwad is that fucked up so badly, but I hope this follows them for years.
Kudos to Nick, Yahtzee and all the rest for sticking with each other in solidarity rather than caving to corporate pressure. I’ll be looking forward to seeing them produce new videos in the future, hopefully under their own LLC.
Oh, please, stop with the “gamer” generalizations. Every time there’s a “gamer” SNAFU it’s really a tiny minority of hyper-conservative wankers making a lot of noise. They make the death threats, they do the review bombing, they express the bigoted views. Gamers are a huge and diverse crowd. Don’t generalize the bad behavior of a handful of shitheads to the entire hobby group.

Stop making me hornier.
I don’t know why I find this so funny, but I’m keeping it.
Was expecting an air ashari, but got Beau and Yasha’s lovechild instead. Not disappointed.
I was just going to say it gave me major Anor Londo vibes!
If someone hates me because of something I have in common with literally every human on the planet it doesn’t feel nearly as personal as if they hate me because I’m different from them in ways that I can’t control.
Misanthropes generally don’t hate individual people, and can even sometimes enjoy socializing with others. It’s not even all that accurate to say misanthropes hate humanity; they’re actually more profoundly disappointed in it. This is why they don’t engage in mass shootings or other forms of violence, and instead tend to just isolate themselves.
Kill every insect within 10 yards of me with a thought.
And thus, a cross-franchise meme was born…
For non-trekkers’ context: Andorian Hooker.
To be fair, in space we would explode.
LOL. Omg I’m such a survivor. I’m only a survivor because I survived this long. I would be a completely different person if I I just survived longer than this. 😝
