lol first thing I do when getting a computer is wiping the disk and installing Linux.

These sorts of moves don’t tend to happen quickly. The board may be a bunch of pearl clutchers but there may also be more to this story.

In any case, reputational damage is fully subjective and they may have to prove that harm occurred or pay out a huge settlement.

Many people have an attitude that if something isn’t perfect you don’t do it, even if it’s so much better than doing nothing. It’s a weird reactionary thing and shows a complete lack of critical thinking.

There’s probably a law that states when and how to bring a complaint and what the maximums are. Many states have such laws to put on limits. Those stories you hear about a jury awaiting hundreds of millions will usually be reduced by many orders of magnitude when the actual sentence/order is set.

And recently India too. There’s a hacking for hire scandal going on beyond just this incident. Worse: it was Indians hacking Indian journalists using Israeli spyware.

These questions are irrelevant. The gaming industry is stagnant and that is because those in charge are it if ideas. Can we drop the whataboutism and move on with life?

BTW I speak as someone of roughly 30 years of experience working in tech. I now work at a university have student teams. I recognize the future when I see it. Everyone is a pretty much a dinosaur compared to Gen Z and Alpha.

Returning to my actual point: Valve is a great example of a company that put out its ideas then made way for new ones.

I specifically said younger gen x and older millennials. When the millennials got in, they had great new ideas that changed the world. Now they are out of touch and holding back the industry. Just look at Bethesda and EA s examples of this.

All I’m really trying to say is that when you run out of ideas, get out of the way of those who still have them.

The sibling thing I get.

Anyone who does the first one isn’t ready for relationships.

lol I’ve always said that you can’t polish a turd lol lol

Completely agree with you.

Also Gen X. I seriously never paid for a single piece of software. Then it started to come with your computer. Then you got it for free or through a work account.

In the end I only pay for games.

The worst part is that people will vote him out and the next person will roll everything back. Everyone will be far worse off, however.

Nothing says “conservative” more than running away from they consequences of your decisions.

That’s literally my argument. That’s literally what I’m saying. This is not a boomer problem, it’s a problem with those that came after. The world is ready to move on but the industry insiders aren’t.

Older millennials got in and reinvented the world. Time to let the zoomers do the same.

See also CD Project Rekt saying that they don’t want to be bought up because they are about to become big again.

No. That with that many people, there are enough whackos that this sort of thing will constantly be in the news even though when compared to the population size the events are still extraordinarily rare.

Yeah going to go ahead and block you. Your anger has nothing to do with me.

Yes they think that I’m racist but don’t want to say it directly. When I ask why they think that, I’m told that it’s cultural. None of this is very convincing. Honestly wouldn’t it be easier to be direct instead of acting like the bad gf/bf who is mad at you for not divining what they that really wanted for their birthday?

Looking through your 17 day comment history, you do seem to like being confrontational so I’m going to not pay too much attention.

I think that we can take heart that all of this is in the public record now.

More and more it’s clear that they are in it in for the clicks and not the reporting.

It’s still unclear what you’re accusing me of.
