Seriously? What’s the concern you ask, @vladtenev? The list of concerns is almost existential.
U.S. securities laws are in place to protect investors. For good reason, we spend millions and millions of dollars every year to comply with U.S. securities laws. In good. conscience, how can Robinhood as a U.S. company set up an operation in far offshore Jersey, an island 3000 miles away, and market a security sort of posing as AMC in some shape or fashion, and not comply with U.S. securities laws. That is shocking and shameful.
Our past issuance of equity to strengthen our balance sheet was vital to our success. Your setting up some kind of fictitious synthetic equity market decouples stock token ownership from a company’s ability to control its own capital raising efforts.
Share ownership gives shareholders various rights, including the right to vote their shares. Your stock token pretend to be some form of stock ownership, but disclosures to the contrary notwithstanding, they are not ownership and they deprive investors of their rights.
This quasi-fake market you are creating on the island of Jersey sows distrust amongst the public about financial markets in general. There already is distrust in financial institutions, you are potentially making it far worse.
These are but a few of my concerns about your actions.
I hereby call on you and Robinhood to voluntarily CEASE AND DECIST the trading of AMC stock tokens. If you don’t, our high priced securities counsel has been asked to see whether we can force you to stop.
I also wonder how can the SEC possibly support your sham ignoring of U.S. securities laws. You can be sure we will be asking them.
When you look at GTA 6 from the perspective of a man who legitimately have increasingly fewer and fewer spaces left to just unwind, the pattern is hard to ignore
God of War now has a female lead. The Witcher now has a female lead. Fable 4... we all saw Fable 4. Ghost of Yōtei replaced Jin with Atsu. Lucia is being positioned as the driving half of GTA 6
GTA has always been dudes hanging out with their crazy bros committing grand theft. When the most male-coded franchises get remade one after another “for modern audiences,” you can’t really blame men for being pissed their spaces are being occupied—even if the game itself turns out fine
It’s suffocating. A lot of modern writing doesn’t just add women. It adds preachy girlboss characters who don’t need a man and spend the story competing to out-man him. Feminine traits get treated like a weakness and are often entirely removed. When every new female lead arrives with that same energy, people aren’t crazy for assuming this one will be more of the same
There was a lot I liked in the extended trailer. People are also right that Jason currently reads like a brick wall with the brains of a potato, and Lucia potentially reads like a masculine girlboss lead. I know people like both of them in real life. That doesn’t automatically make them good leading characters
Time will tell. You still can’t blame men who get harped at, ridiculed, and emasculated daily for being upset that the same dynamic is now showing up in what feels like virtually every game that used to be their escape
Sometimes men just want to be with their boys and do cool shit. Getting mad at them for that is the ridiculous take
I can't wait for my GTA character to hijack cars, burglarize, shoot strangers, but stop short at making racist jokes or being even the slightest bit homophobic.
@LeBron76ersMuse The amount of fags in the comments blows my mind expect more you fucking losers. Only 30fps no online no first person super safe. Expect more for less not less for more. Reason madden and cod still sells because fanboys like this smh...
