Rhyno posted:Craig quit because he was hand-shake promised the Late Show but they went with Colbert. It wasn't a handshake promise; it was in his final Late Late Show contract that if Letterman retired and Ferguson didn't get The Late Show, then he was entitled to a pretty hefty payout. So he walked away with like nine or ten million bucks and rode off into the sunset. Beyond that, though, Ferguson felt he had said everything he had to say in the late-night format and he was done and wanted to get back to being a full-time dad. Space Cadet Omoly posted:Think Aisha Tyler would be willing to leave who's line is it anyway for a late show? I have a feeling that she's in line to replace Alex Trebek on Jeopardy! when he retires, especially given how light the taping schedule is (five shows a day, two days a week).

Ubisoft really are special. The rapey company that wanted to put graphic rape scenes with gameplay elements into their products. And dogfighting minigames.

Getting into Ubisoft and why they've been an extremely bad company for at least the last 10 years or so is an extremely Games topic, but suffice it to say that most of their games are very bad, full of Tom Clancy right wing wank even when they're OK, and they are famous among gamers for having an extremely bad and buggy DRM storefront. There hasn't been a good Assassin's Creed game, their main thing, in forever. Possibly ever, depending on who you ask. As far as weird poo poo going on in their games, getting rapey in their games is (possibly) new but infamously they had to re-do a couple of games because they were way too into torture minigames.

I loving loved the most recent game, Odyssey, and sales and reviews say I'm not alone in this. And the game before it, Origins, was also a big hit, and seen as a return to form for the series. You're right about Ubisoft being, largely, a poo poo company run by shitheads. But this statement alone isn't something I could just let pass on by. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Aug 3, 2020 |

I don't know if the game itself was specified (this was from one of the threads going around with an ex-producer) but it was something with a female lead so very likely the British AC title with the sibling protags.

Yeah, I saw it in the context of "this is the poo poo we had to stop them doing" from a former dev. Women player characters don't sell games, but apparently pressing F to rape does.

I swear I've heard other stories of this, like the True Crime series getting canned because some suit saw a woman on the box and said 'What is this, women don't sell games, get a guy on there'. Yes, ignoring Lara Croft. There's probably a reason why we're seemingly just barely emerging from the era of scowling white guys with crew cuts being the default video game protagonist. (With a side venture in scowling white dads with beards, pretty clearly from the developers wishing their children respected them)

Man if they had let that dogfighting mini-game go out they would've enabled the absolute end of the entire studio involved except all the white male execs would've just gotten off scot free.

I absolutely could not figure out why a dogfighting game would be objectionable the first time I read that. It probably took me 10 minutes to realize they meant actual dogs fighting and not a minigame about fighter planes.

It is really quite something that two of the things from the list are actually in Cage games. Dogfighting being the odd one out.

Pokemon are shown to be basically sentient, willing participants for the most part, so it’s more like MMA or boxing.

I wouldn't necessarily call a wild animal that's beaten into submission, trapped for hours/days/weeks on end in a small sphere and only let out to beat the poo poo out of other animals, a "willing participant"
