"What ultimately broke me and my Blizzard career was I got called into the CFO's office and he sits me down and he saysβ€”he gives me a date which at the time was 2020 and was going to slip to 2021, but at the time it was 2020β€”and he said: 'Overwatch has to make [redacted] in 2020, and then every year after that it needs a recurring revenue of [redacted]' and then he says to me 'if it doesn't do [redacted] we're going to lay off 1,000 people, and that's going to be on you.' And that was the biggest fuck you moment I've had in my career, it felt surreal to be in that condition."

lol tangent but this is reminding me how funny it was that a lot of nerds in the BEMANI circles i was in considered DDR to be the baby casual game even at the highest levels because it had the lowest note density (for obvious physical reasons)

#ffxiv the nice thing about spamming Trials roulette to refill second chance points is when you get Hades or Endsinger (or Sphene, imo!) and get to go "hell yeah" all over again

There should be a "Cozy Games without Money" steam event in the future (vs all the job sims / farming), following in the footsteps of games like 2000s gba cozy adventure, Uki Uki Carnival, whose director Noriko Miura intentionally left out money!

can't be emphasised enough that no matter how empty Valve's defense of lootboxes sounds, the lawsuit is also a trojan horse to censor violence in games so it's not a good idea to side with it lol

It’s interesting to me that labor rendered invisible has expanded to services and not goods. The exported exploitation still exists but now works explicitly in favour of illusory technology. Removing the human from our everyday life presented as an inevitable convenience.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, β€œneed groceries… but all my clothes are in the laundry.” Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, β€œeh. I won’t see anyone.” Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy
