this is weapons grade stuff right here. holy moly

edit: reading through, and with the context it's actually worse??? my guy???????????

I mean, this quote could be applicable to things in gaming, it just isn't in context because of the reasons it's being said. The metaphor isn't the problem here. The metaphor would work fine if it were talking about how, say, Starfield is a bland and slapdash mixture of safe-bet narrative elements and game mechanics - but because it's being used to complain about "activism" and was said in the context of a harassment campaign he was platforming, that's why it's a problem.

He's scum and was being scummy, no mistake, of course.

Living proof that sometimes all you need to do to be a top streamer is Play Game Good and Be Loud.

I'm so sick of this white man

And this is 30% of your already 70% cut with retailers. My publisher better be doing some sweet ass marketing to justify that kind of cut of my labor and profits. And this is without an advance to help development.

30/70 for idea guy behaviour? no thanks 😭

Is that 70/30 before or after Steam’s 70/30? Terrible deal, lol. Steam’s already rightfully critiqued for their cut.

Yeah, massively bad idea.

Aside from the fact that Being Known to these fuckers in any way is a net negative, if you are a small outfit the last thing you need is more middlemen sucking up money from your labor without giving much back.

But in the hands of these guys specifically, it's going to become a protection racket.

you question his business acumen? he's a millionaire and you're not because he knows when to not spend time and money on room cleaning and dental hygiene so he can focus it all on the grindset
