The issue becomes the fact that he is (or at least was at the time, not sure if it has been suspended) a licensed individual, who has to adhere to additional scrutiny from the SEC. That’s where the trading on behalf of other people, and manipulating stocks could really come back to bite him, and why the company was… Read more

Thanks for the easy to get through writeup that hit what I wanted to know about. Some reviewers are just too deep into 4X without actually being able to describe it to more casual players so this gives me a better idea of how it works. Certainly seems worth a spin via Game Pass.
The crypto community’s “thinking I’m smart” / “being a colossal dumbass” is fucking unmatched. The biggest suckers in the world thinking they’re pulling MENSA shit.
“...so there we are. I’ve said it.”
Have you, though?
“It is this type of irresponsible behavior from unaccountable State bureaucrats that are driving many of the State’s best businesses out of California” Read more
“How many computers do you think we should get for our crypto-mining operation??
“I dunno, a thousand?”
“That’s great. But what if we got a thousand. And then added another.....69?”
“Nice.”
Before anyone thinks of doing this, please consider:
What a thoughtful way to kick off what I’m sure will be a wonderful tenure. Kotaku, like the industry it covers, needs to continually evolve. I can’t think of a better person to lead that change than you Patricia. I look forward to seeing where you take the site.
Some money got laundered.
Ill give Mr. Cook this much, that was a bit more polite than Atari’s response to Apple back in the day: Read more
Procedural crap, most likely. By having Sweeny identify the consoles, it shows that he possesses knowledge about them and can testify on that regard. It’s a bit stupid, but if a lawyer has the choice between doing stupid shit for the sake of safety, or assuming common sense will prevail, they’re going to pick option… Read more
My guess is to build the case that Tim Sweeney understands comparisons and recognizes the items being questioned. It applies in this case because Sweeney was asked if he was aware of how much money his game made on Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo products, and then if he was aware that those store fronts take a 30%… Read more
Because courts are often idiotic. As a former court reporter, I’ve on numerous occasions seen lawyers ask either witnesses or experts identify common day objects to the court “That is a teapot. That is a butcher’s knife. That is a cutting board” .. etc. Very stupid.
It’s been a fantastic way for me to be discovered by bots promising nudes that I was always sure I never wanted.
I don’t like how all these apology statements talk about how the person may have “hurt” other people and other communities. When minorities are angry, we are not angry because we are victims, like we are weak people to are slighted by the smallest breeze. We are angry because you disrespected us. You signaled that you… Read more
Basically, it’s FF7 as you remember it, not as it actually looks. Cool.
I drift in and out of paying attention to the FGC...so this is the first I’m hearing about Gootecks descent into fuckery. It’s disappointing.
Me: “You know, games should really broaden the scope of sex and or sexuality within the medium. I’d like to see some bigger budget games really take a crack at this so that it might make the creation of that genre more appealing and acceptable”
