The International Red Cross has recently been pushing for so-called “hyper realistic” video games to follow international humanitarian laws and penalize players for their in-game crimes, such as gunning down civilians.
K-Pop Academy is an upcoming pop star management simulator from the game studio that brought you Tsuki’s Odyssey and Campfire Cat Café.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.
No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo
I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.
Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
Yet another Ryzen 9000-series price leak surfaces, with the latest coming from Amazon NL - where the 9900X has been seen for $549.
Hah, if that ever happened crime rates would go way up. Call me crazy, but I think I'd rather have someone killing people in games than going out and doing it in real life.
I'm ok with this. Kratos should be locked up for all the people he has killed in his game. Kratos should definitely be punished.
You already face consequences.... in GTA, cops come, gangs fight you, etc.... In military shooters, you lose or end up dying.
There are no games where its just a person going around being the devil with absolutely no consequence to it.... What do they want? Your in game avatar to go to jail for life, thus giving you a game over screen and the game explodes so you can never play it again?
If I hadn't already lost faith in humanity 47 times, this would definitely have done it.
As long as we're not being punished for thought crimes, I'm cool.
