Its still kind of wild to me how Hasan and Destiny knew Charlie Kirk on a first name basis, did political collab/debates with him, and still mock his murder. Shows how shallow they really are
Asmongold says he has zero sympathy for fired Xbox developers
"Look at these nasty little traitorous weasels. You were sitting there getting welfare from Daddy Microsoft so you could do your art projects. And then finally somebody comes in and turns off the spigot, your money hose, and now you're turning on them?"
"They were paying you for years to make garbage. You were making garbage for years and years. It's time to go back to McDonald's. It's time to go to Wendy's. You're going to work at Chili's now."
"The reason why you feel expendable and dispensable is because you're expendable and dispensable."
So y'all make memes every day of how it's perfectly okay to kill people who misgender, either on accident or deliberately, but now state that pronouns are irrelevant and don't matter?
Which is it? Do they matter or do they not? And you wonder why even tolerant people are getting tired of this. There's no situation where they can succeed because you won't give them one.
You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
Asmongold says woke game developers are colonizers of gaming and gamers are the indigenous people
"These people have infected my hobby. My hobby is playing video games. I love playing video games. If you ruin my hobby, I will ruin your life. And we are in the process of doing that."
"We are the indigenous people of video games. The chuds are the indigenous gamers. And these people are colonizers. They're settlers. They are not supposed to be here. They are invaders. And they are living on stolen land. And it's time for them to leave."
Asmongold tells a streamer he spent 10,000 hours becoming a failure after the guy called him talentless
"A lot of people say that in order to become an expert at something, in order to become truly proficient and great at something, it takes 10,000 hours. For you, it's taken you 10,000 hours to become a failure."
"You've invested 10,000 hours into being garbage. You have nothing to show for it. You have accomplished nothing. You've done nothing."
"And you're getting mad at me because I recognize that there are other people at companies that are just like you. They're losers. They're failures. And they can't do anything to make people watch."
IMPORTANT CENSORSHIP NEWS:
After investigation, a User proves that over 120 Major Tech companies are lobbying to pass the "KIDS Act".
Microsoft, Google, Meta, AT&T, and Comcast being big names in support of censoring the internet
Its not about stopping Big Tech, but helping them gain more information about you.
Long post--sorry.
The fixation around physical media is a red herring.
People who obtained physical copies of Crimson Desert early weren't able to play it because the PS5 locked them out of playing it. You can look this up, multiple articles about the topic. Clearly physical media didn't save you then, and it won't save you when a licensing agreement expires and a game will no longer run on your software until you download an update that might remove features/content.
A good example of this is ironically Mixtape. Because the game has a large amount of licensed music, it's plausible that one of those contracts will expire and a patch will be pushed that removes a song from the game. If you don't download that patch, you will no longer be able to access or play the game.
Physical media isn't the holy grail, consumer rights and protections is. Why aren't we using Apple lighting cables and we are using USB-C instead? It's not because of Apple, it's because of the EU.
While PC players have more work-arounds for this issue, console players are at the mercy of updates they have no choice but to accept. Physical media won't save you from that.
The convenience of digital downloads should not be viewed as a forfeiture of consumer protections.
The reason why record labels still sell vinyls is because people still buy vinyls. While there are I'm sure some people who still purchase video games physically, I would guess that number is decreasing every year. If physical copies were popular, Gamestop would still have video games in it instead of Funko pops and tshirts.
I know this is the unpopular take to have. but you can't expect companies to keep making physical editions of games if not enough people are buying them.
My point with all of this is that a lot of peoples' concern and frustration comes from the lack of control they have over the media they "own". Physical media does not solve this problem when it's at the mercy of the software running the consoles/game launchers.
If you want to solve the problem, you should be supporting initiatives like Stop Killing Games @StopKilingGames.
