There, that took me 5 minutes to come up with and write.

That's 5 minutes you could have been using to do another LMG video, you clearly have poor time management skills

I thought his excuse was, "well, it's still a bad product, so there's no reason to retest it because we don't want to encourage anyone to buy it".

If Linus fucks up, it is editorially accurate. If one of their other producers fucks up, it's an issue of editorial accuracy.

Sydney Bottocks posted:I feel like any other media company would have severely reprimanded him, if not outright terminated him, for that standup routine. He's not just a behind-the-scenes dude that writes scripts, he's a frequent on-camera personality and a very visible representative of their company, and something like that can potentially tarnish a company's image. I would think Linus has to know about that video (I'd be shocked if it hadn't been brought to his attention numerous times), so it's either that he doesn't care about it or is perfectly OK with it. In either case the result is the same: an implied approval of whatever it was James was saying during his set. It's wild how the last time I saw someone get caught out online with that kind of 'wink-wink-misogyny-but-not-really-it's-cool' "comedy" in a standup video it was a little-known liberal videogames reviewer named Ian Miles Cheong

I think all Gamer’s Nexus did was give their employees a thing to rally around. If this was a regular issue that could be handled internally they could just slow down, post videos every other day, etc. A few people would be mad, but to the outside world nothing really changes. Actually shutting down releases for a few days for internal issues is SERIOUS. No ad reads = actual lost income. They must have had an actual employee revolt with resignations threatened from key people.

Coffee Jones posted:I think all Gamer’s Nexus did was give their employees a thing to rally around. More likely to be major sponsors sending very carefully worded emails rather than internal pressure. Things such as: - Get your house in order - We have a morality clause - Put your hand in this box of glass Internally they likely just view this as being blown out or proportion, but yeah you could have a few vocal employees to add to the above. Not like they have a proper way to address employee concerns anyway  Edit: Seriously, their best play here is to shut the gently caress up for a week, apologize again, hire a dedicated HR director with no prior affiliation to the owners/leadership, and go on making videos. This poo poo would roll off in year or so if they are able to get sponsors to stay. Part 1 is probably the hardest part for them. Bondematt fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Aug 21, 2023 |
