tl;dr: SAG-AFTRA is voting on whether or not to strike against video game companies, with ten major publishers being named in the article

  • Activision Productions Inc.,
  • Blindlight LLC,
  • Disney Character Voices Inc.,
  • Electronic Arts Productions Inc.,
  • Epic Games, Inc.,
  • Formosa Interactive LLC,
  • Insomniac Games Inc.,
  • Take 2 Productions Inc.,
  • VoiceWorks Productions Inc., and
  • WB Games Inc.

(also, I would've thought that the Disney and WB ones would be kind of "rolled in" to the ongoing strike)

The higher the pedestal you put somebody on, the further they have to fall.

ah shit here we go again.png

Between this bullshit and what seems like every Triple-Eh publisher suddenly developing massive diamond-hard boners for Denuvo (you're welcome), it's almost enough to make me want to go full Console Peasant. almost.

Mostly because it looks good for the suits and investors, and since it doesn't actually seem to hurt their sales that much (hint hint)

The point is punishing the people who pay money for this sh*t, apparently (and they will, because for everybody who refuses to buy something that comes with malware bundled in there will be at least two screaming "SHUT UP AND TAKE OUR MONEY!")

I thought that on Tumblr, every single character from any popular franchise was bisexual? /halfjoking

Well on the bright side, I'm sure that THIS will be the one that gets developers/publishers to stop spamming the market with so many half-baked Live Service games, and while we're at it, get consumers to stop jumping on The Latest Greatest Live Service, right? laugh/sob

Path of Exile. If you say anything positive about it you get shit for being a mindless fanboy, and if you say anything negative about it you're a mindless hater. Plus the whole "zoom zoom" meta

Go home Dad, you're drunk.

I'm just going to go ahead and assume that nothing will change for the better.

I'd say "don't give ActiBliz ideas", but they've probably already got it in the works.

Sadly, it doesn't make the paying customers STOP paying, which means it's just going to keep. F*cking. Happening.

And if you believe a word of that, I've got a bridge to sell you (in the general sense)
