It’s bot posted crap and people are blindly engaging with it. Lemmy is going to end up like Reddit, I fear.

They literally sold out. They sold the company. And, they sold it to a corporation whose portfolio is littered with microtransactions.

cut their losses

What losses? Were they not profitable?

and cashed their checks

Yeah, that’s the selling out part.

The founders are the villains of this piece as much as Krafton. They sold out for a big payday. This was all very predictable.

You’d have to really dense to think that Krafton is going to come along with half a billion dollars and just let things carry on as usual.

“Mysterious”? It’s eight there in the name.

… pay packages of up to $300 million over four years, with more than $100 million in total compensation for the first year…

He’s really just creating the next generation of tech bros. This is how they reproduce. Someone drops a huge sum of money in their laps for being smart in a niche computer field. That money balloons their egos to the point of making them think they are smart at all the things. And, voilà, a techbro is born. The misogyny, racism and infatuation with eugenics comes naturally after that.

ACE is more like a franchise than other retailers. Most are locally-owned. Some are employee-owned.

Who wants this?

Is that supposed to be a goatee on his chin?

So, they want to take away healthcare young men don’t have so they’ll get jobs that don’t exist. Sounds like a conservative plan.

Send me your game development company and I’ll double it! See my bio for details. You must follow the instructions exactly or you won’t get anything.

On the other hand, the new blockchain game they just released had funding from Marc Andreessen. So, color me skeptical.

Maybe I’m wrong, then. The article left the impression that this was a limited release but your explanation makes more sense. Mea culpa.

Wow! Have these people never seen the originals?

The years have not been kind to the oft-romanticized original print of the sci-fi classic, which lacks all of George Lucas’ post-release tweaks and polishes and looks “like a completely different film.”

Literally, the first paragraph. They tweaked it after the original release. Very few people saw this original print. You haven’t seen this print.

Yes, but this will also call emergency services after, I think, ten seconds.

Make sure you cancel that call right away unless you actually need them.

Yes, that’s why they are protesting.

You should probably leave your own phone at home when you do. You don’t want the burner phone and your own showing up on the same towers at the same time. Turn the burner completely off when near home or your personal phone.

It also effectively means they are reading those messages.

I registered but they don’t send a ticket or anything despite them saying it’s a reservation.

This might just be a ploy to harvest phone numbers and email addresses.

I once shit talked to coworkers about another coworker/supervisor. Except, by accident, I sent it to the coworker/supervisor.

Good times.
