Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.

Dashiell Hammett (mystery writer, wrote The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man) was a Pinkerton detective, started working for them when he was pretty young IIRC. He quit after, according to him, he was asked to murder the leader of a miner's union that the Pinkerton's were hired to break up and end a strike. That same person was then shot to death in his bed by two men wearing masks and wielding shotguns.

That was MTG iirc. Some streamer got some cards early by accident and announced as much also saying they were going to open the packs on stream. They got a visit shortly thereafter.

MTG, yeah.

Basically a guy got product way WAY ahead of street date and like an idiot did an unboxing video on YouTube, and somehow Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro decided that the correct course of action was to send the unionbusters after him.

It’s extremely funny that the pinkertons were founded by a guy who got kicked out of the UK for radical workers strikes but busted up US ones because they were just lazy and shiftless

Yes, that's basically it, they staked out his house and interrogated his neighbors before approaching him and asking for the cards. Made his wife cry and everything. He didn't have to give them back, but lol if the pinkertons let that on.

It's worth noting the head of security or whatever at hasbro is a former Pinkerton exec.

It's basically what would happen if children were able to interact with cartoons, and just have them constantly repeat their catch phrases as much as their little goblin minds wanted.

I can't imagine waking up one day and thinking "yeah this is what I want to do", but poo poo, it probably makes a decent amount.

I didn't know they were still a thing until that one Pinkerton domed the BLM counterprotestor chud who was trying to attack people with bear mace or something (and then of course Pinkerton left him out to dry, despite him literally protecting their client or whatever the gently caress)

It is apparently called an NPC Live and you donate to buy emojis that the streamer reacts to with a canned phrase like a video game character. I watched it twice and I have "Mmm Ice Cream, so good! YesYesYes!" stuck in my head.
