    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is entirely wrong. Blizzard's problems are the problem of every company that has transitioned from innovation into perpetual profit generation; making mediocre products that keep the company afloat is preferred to risking years of sunk costs into something that might be great or terrible...

    Even if it did work that way, seniority and 30% more years worked is probably something like 25-50% more in compensation.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    You have no fucking idea what it is like to run a company of hundreds, if not thousands of people. CEO make the money they do mainly to prevent downside. If a board of directors just had a company mismanaged to the tune of a $500 MILLION dollar loss then finding someone that can turn the next...

    Let's compare the resumes of these two people and see who would be making more from a logical perspective of how long they have been in the industry, how long they have been an executive in that industry, and how long they have been an executive at Fortune 50 companies in the industry (since...

    We are not being reverse SJW's here dude. We are being practical business people. I am sure Blizzard is operating under the assumption that they will continue to be a company after this PR disaster is over and the lawsuits are settled. In that post-everything world they will still have to...

    I'm sure that they know all about his tweets. The assumption is that he brings more value to the company in other ways; enough that they let that stuff slide. That or his contract has some insane buyout clause that protects him. It still does not add up to her deserving as much money as him...

    NO. Show me where she deserved as much. Not tweets, not feelings, facts. Show me that they had the exact same track records on the same size projects that brought in the same gross margins. Show me that they had the same level of experience over the same amount of time. Then show me the...

    So now a lawsuit guarantees wrongdoing also? Maybe @Kaines is right and there is nothing and these are all frivolous or brought on by outside pressure. That is for the courts to decide (or in this case Activision's attorneys to decide how much money they should throw at them to make it go away...

    How do you know it was a lowball offer though? Maybe, just maybe she accepted because they put an offer in front of her that was fucking 1.5x, 2x or 3x what she had ever earned before. Then, she finds out that her peer is making more than her and she knows that if she makes noise that she can...

    My dude, at least Faile was trying to make a man out of Perrin. This production team will probably have his wife trying to convince him he is really a woman.

    I have no idea what it is like in a country where guns have been banned for decades; but in the United States where a majority (maybe slim, but still a majority) of people do not see a gun in a holster, rack in a car, or slung across someone's back as anything more than a person with a tool...

    The issue I have with that review is that there is absolutely 0 negative in it. The person is positively glowing about the two parts of the show that everyone is the most concerned about: Acting and budget. GoT did such a good job with the acting that I cannot help but think of the show...

    I don't know what to think of this. I want to love and hate it at the same time. I mean, I will definitely watch it but I don't know whether it will be a hate watch or an intrigued watch.

    In what fucking clown state/country does the prosecution get the final word before deliberation in a murder case. If our society presumes innocence then the last thing every jury should hear is innocence because they have to be sure without a shadow of a doubt (99%) sure that the person is...

    College Football 2021-2022, quest for the Delta MU Championship

    @Springbok I bet your Pokes are fucking salivating at the thought of playing this OU team in Stilly. They are going to feast. If only you had the trademark Gundy gunslinger at QB this year....but with our secondary it might not matter.

    Man, I wish OU was already in the SEC so that quality losses like that would move us up in the rankings. For real though, we have been a paper tiger all year and it has felt like a funeral after every win. It makes this loss feel like the 5th one this season.

    Did you know that there is some pretty compelling evidence that she was not the real girlfriend of Trayvon Martin and that she sounded so bad because she took the stand for a friend? Crazy story that no one talks about.

    Either the defense attorneys are idiots or Kyle is an idiot but they have to know that every single thing he says, no matter how innocuous, will paint him as the villain. They are painting every prosecution witness as a saint. This just seems like a terrible idea.

    Yep, making their game more fun for a short period of time was the worst thing they ever did to the game. Not the endless item/content bloat or the terrible trade functionality; it was fun created from a system that fixed the itemization problem that was the worst.

    I've got to say, lawyers watching trials in real time and giving their takes is a great new form of media. Can you imagine the conversation if this could have happened during the Zimmerman trial?

    Oh look, the judge with morals that will boot a juror at the mere whiff of bias is a righty. So libs are happy but only because an 'enemy' is gone. They would have been aghast if it was a anti-Rittenhouse SJW.
