I think you are right, with a huge caveat. The developer of the game must clearly state what they balance around and stick to that principle. If Last Epoch is built around single player self found with no trading then they must ignore how OP any multiplayer group builds or single player...

Pretty fucking loud seeing as Activison reported a third quarter margin of $520 Million. That's just a measly 40% of gross profit.

Honestly, if they had kept close to the books even with all that shit I probably would have watched it. But when the showrunner and writers cannot understand how every main character is defined by Eamon's Field being a small town where everyone knows each other, has a stoic view of their tiny...

That is your very very incorrect opinion.

Because it sucks and was never about adapting the books?

I never thought video games would become as big as they are now. But I always really hoped.

I'm gonna stop you right there. It may not be your exact country but Canada and the United States are 95% the same and 5% different. This trial proves that the English common rule of self defense still holds sway no matter what the fucking left wants everyone to believe. This kid just made...

This is the side of Raes I can get behind.

You have literally 0 analytical skills. Do you understand that we need mediocre giants in the market? It is a barometer for if you have the talent to compete or not. It gives stability to a very unstable industry. It gives people that aren't sure if they are cut out for it a place to learn...

Fucking Christ man, you just don't get it. MICROSOFT run right would be making MUCH more money. FACEBOOK run right would be making MUCH more money. CHEVY run right would be making MUCH more money. These companies operate on a different level from what you can even imagine. Entities as big as...

I think I'm going to stick with my fond memories of the books and not watch a single second of this abortion.

Are you SURE of this, though? How do you know his gift isn't sweet talking the Activision board into funneling tens of millions of that sweet, sweet Candy Crush money directly into Blizzard's coffers? If that was the only fucking thing he was good at it might still be enough to justify his...

So just an FYI that article states 500 people signed a petition calling for Bobby to resign which is roughly 6% of its almost 10,000 employees. This is what anyone anywhere would term a vocal minority. Phil Spencer is just playing politics.

This is not true in the slightest. Charging people money for your time/energy/use of property even when you don't need it helps everyone else that DOES need money set a value on their own time/energy/property. You are morally obligated to set a fair price for your output even when you do not...

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.

Because you have no idea what the real job of those "incompetent losers" really is.

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.

How can anyone claim to love a story or series and then choose to change giant pieces of that thing they say they love so much?

It means most of the jury is leaning in the correct fucking direction.

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...

You are not, most of the key dialogue was directly from the book.

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...

@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.

This is a gore post and you should be banned. Don't @ me.

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.

I often wonder how many of the people living off the Child Tax Credit ADVANCE understand that they get however much they were paid out over these months deducted from their return? There are going to be millions of families panicking when their usual 5k return is 0 or they even owe a few...

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.

Psssst, they beat the daily quota by lunchtime!

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.
