Chaosdreams2231d ago

Lol The man literally always dies - and he's so likeable too. That said, I do like both options.

vabaw2231d ago

I'm making $86 an hour working from home. I was shocked when my neighbor told me she was averaging $95 but I see how it works now. I feel so much freedom now that I'm my own boss. This is what I do>> http://www.fl-y.com/3r8h

Uglyday2231d ago

Sean Bean is already in a Netflix show so they might as well keep him under contract.

AletsMQ2230d ago

The adaption is from the books, not the game. Vesemir actually never dies.

chris2352231d ago

what? netflix wants to do a tv show of the witcher? are they aware of the show game of thrones and that they need to top that to justify this production? seems like another brainfart got greenlighted..... or... they just need to lose money to cut taxes.

Uglyday2231d ago

Ya game of thrones is the only reason we get a chance to see this, so yes they are aware. Now zip yo lips so we can get more mediocre fantasy.

Xenophon_York2231d ago

Was Mark doing anything other than voice work before rejoining the recent Star Wars movies? Seems as though he had been visually absent from the entertainment industry for the past thirty years until recently.

If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.

But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry

neutralgamer199219h ago

Exactly these companies were raising money for good causes and gamers were donation and come to find out they are keeping a good chunk of be pie

PapaBop9h ago

Yeah tip your developer, 5% proceeds go to developer, 95% to the publisher or whoever. Isn't tipping for staff not making minimum wage? How about they just pay their developers properly and like you know, give them fair bonuses? Too much to ask from Blizzard these days, Kotick saw to that and is now laughing all the way to the bank.

MrDead19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

It's the t**ts at the top looking at ways to cut devs wages and get the players to tip them like waiting staff, and I'll guarantee a percentage is skimmed and kept by Activision Blizzard. This is 100% for shareholder and CEO playouts.

Popsicle18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

I have to agree with this. On the surface tipping devs sounds like a great idea, but in the end it leads to pay cuts and subsidization of pay. Tips then become an expectation or the devs “can’t make a living.” Lastly, especially in the US, tip culture has gotten out of control, and it serves as an excuse not to properly pay employees. Sounds good but doesn’t end well.

1Victor15h ago

Uh so they’re trying triple dip or more we buy the game that they’re already withholding/cutting content for dlc we was told that season pass would help the developers thrive we felt for it.
Now on top of all that plus their sales bonus they want tips enough is enough whatever happens to you create/built a good game get a bonus for sales milestones you care about your game and community we reward you with more sales not for doing 3/4 of a game then save the other 1/4 for dlc and passes after

raWfodog13h ago

The 'tip' is me buying your game in the first place.

S2Killinit10h ago

Very well said. If it was possible to send the money to either the developer or some organization for the betterment of gaming, sure. But we all know that will not be the case.

Rynxie8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

No, it would go to those on the top. They will still fire developers, have a bunch of microtransactions, raise prices of games and so on.

So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!

Deeeeznuuuts18h ago

That kind of practice is only normal in the states, as far as I know anyway, what a backwards system

H917h ago

No it's as well in a every country that wants to amercanize

bloop15h ago

Ireland is literally the first stop across the pond and we don't have a tipping culture. The only establishments here that would expect a tip are the tourist haunts that Americans visit. Other than that, you might tip in a restaurant as a sign of gratitude for great service and waiting staff would be paid a full wage anyway.

Rebel_Scum9h ago

Tipping is not customary iin most countries dude. Get a passport lol.

Jin_Sakai1d 13h ago

Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.

MrBaskerville19h ago

Maybe the CEO could earn his money based on tips.

mastershredder1d 13h ago

good god. The devs are not baristas dude. Total 1% ideals. Fing Chadosaurus.

Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.

Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.

Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

solideagle4d ago

I am pretty sure there are documentaries (Youtube) around it which highlights these points. I had Sega Mega drive and NES growing up but that's about it. I didn't even know there was a war going on between these companies but I do remember thinking why I can't play Sonic cartridge on Nintendo or Mario on Sega :D

FinalFantasyFanatic4d ago

I had the Genesis and the Saturn, also had the SNES and 64, I never got a Dreamcast for some reason, but I never saw one in the stores either.
