Inescapable Duck posted:I mean, as an excuse to dress up in red robes as a Machine Shaman legally distinct from the Adeptus Mechanicus. (didn't Games Workshop get completely owned the last time they tried to enforce their trademarks anyway?) Only because "space marine" has been a thing since like, Lensman was published.

Elviscat posted:The episode where everyone has a social-media score, bolstered by "likes" in real life, and it acts like a credit score on meth, bad scores gate-keeping you from getting decent housing, jobs, services etc, where people have to slavishly suck up to the popular people with outstanding scores to bolster their own is creepy and feels too much like something that might really happen That's uh literally a thing already. e:f,b: BioEnchanted posted:Isn't that also China's social credit system basically?

Facebook Aunt posted:Back in the 1990s brand new PC games were around $40-60 CDN each. They still are. Part of that is covered by being able to sell tons more copies, so even if the profit per unit is less you make it up on volume. But on the other hand games are massively more expensive to make now, a handful of guys making games in their garage is not the norm these days. They do save some money not having thick paper manuals, maps and bonus materials -- even if you still buy your games in boxes at stores, those boxes are empty except for a slip of paper and a CD. To make it a fair comparison, you should compare the shiniest release version to the old ones. Also, consider that retail margins for the publisher & dev used to be shiiiiiit. The devs would get tuppence ha’penny for their efforts and make money on sheer bulk then, too. Nowadays EA, who don’t even have to pay a percentage to steam if the sale’s via Origin are likely taking more now.

Captain Hygiene posted:Good god, I kept scrolling down that company's feed, and it's so on the nose I started thinking it was bad satire. But no, they're so offended by their direct competitor "going woke" that their entire existence now just consists of Hypermanly Unwokeness and setting that competitor's products on fire Going by the name and narrative combo, I’d be guessing that the Jeremy in question is The Quartering, arch dickhead and guy who definitely wasn’t banned from Magic the Gathering tournaments for harassment. He just coincidentally stopped going to them. Ignore the letter he’s shown on stream saying he’s banned. He’s been outed as getting someone to OEM a coffee brand for him, too.

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:Anne Rice infamously did not want fanfiction of her work to exist to the point of sending fanfiction dot net a C&D in 2001, getting the whole category pulled down two days later. People were terrified of being sued and pulled down their own fics, some kept them up but in password-protected members-only pages like it was some dark Web 1.0 material. Years later Rice stated she kinda overreacted but was still uncomfortable with people writing fic of her characters, which is understandable, but there are fans to this day soured by the whole incident. Having seen what comes of fanfiction, she was arguably right, though.

As pointed out by some of the folks covering this, the new CEO is one of the shareholders pushing hardest for cutthroat stuff, too.
