FGC Retirement: Not The FFXIV Kind

[Trace Complete @TraceComplete]

To be clear, this isn't an I-told-you-so.

This is a "hey, mods knew". And that looking the other way for "small" things is how larger ones build and breed in the community spaces that leaders owe it to their members to keep safe and positive.

When people tell you who they are, believe them. And maybe do something about them before they can hurt folks.

@Lazergician @TheRomanjelly @Sajam It correlates pretty well with "games that are perceived to have money behind them", I think.

[Trace Complete @TraceComplete]

@TheRomanjelly @Sajam You're right. It's effectively a zero-sum game unless, as you have, you *make your own event*. And the more people think this is a job and not a way to participate and improve a community, the more inherently rivalrous it is and has to be.

It’s been two years since I got on the mic, but I’m dropping in at Balance Patch for Tekken 8 with @bostontekken. Come hang out starting…nnnnow! (And I’ll be on in a few, hold your horses.)

Worth a watch in general, this video is quite good, but substitute "KSA" for "Unity" and the fighting game community might see itself in the mirror for a lot of this video.

"you're overreacting, it's just a little harmless whitewashing, we gotta secure that bag!"

I hope the lot of you live in interesting times.

[Trace Complete @TraceComplete]

It's a day that ends in Y so we have a new reason that all of the FGC people kissing KSA ass should be mortified at their behavior

The talking out both sides of one's mouth about of "you just gotta keep grinding and you'll get bigger gigs" and "what do you mean you arent just picking one of the same 3 casters for everything? Mods, MODS!?!" is really just a lot of people telling on themselves.

@Mishimized @Incendium_GG @Uncle_Vinch Look, you're a great player, if a commentator can hex you you just have to rise above

[Trace Complete @TraceComplete]

This was really fun! Thanks to @Uncle_Vinch for thinking of me--and I will get up there sometime this year, you're on notice

[Incendium @Incendium_GG]

Just looked at the forex rates and a Canadian broadcast getting about 73% of a Tekken commentator out of me is just about right

[Trace Complete @TraceComplete]

huh? what? this can't be right. me, do Tekken?

c'mon through, it'll be a good time!

[Incendium @Incendium_GG]

We'll be live at 3PM EST today on https://t.co/Mj0xLOCInI for the @IeSF_Master #tekken7 Canadian qualifier in partnership with @Esport_Canada

it has come to my attention that there is a typo

@TheRomanjelly is the groat

[Trace Complete @TraceComplete]

So we have now gone from "just asking questions about a grifter" to "also Infiltration was canceled out of revenge" in like a day or two.

Speedrunning to gamerword%, I assume. Place your bets.

@CristyD117 @theythemme @dekillsage I do know how, and the problem is that you have to build the thing first and then convince investors that you're somehow special

Like there's also a reason why startgg got bought by Microsoft. They likely weren't going to stay alive as a going concern.

[Trace Complete @TraceComplete]

@GaeleyFGC Yeah but now you nod and go "uh huh" when you get hit

[Trace Complete @TraceComplete]

@CristyD117 @theythemme @dekillsage You're right. The downside, though, is that there isn't exactly a business model for running one. I've thought hard about building it, but it couldn't validate the time it would take. And software like this doesn't attract volunteers who can help.

The guy whose "FGC ban list" put teenagers who weren't nice to AVGJoe next to Infiltration and his domestic violence escapades…going hard in the paint for a guy who won't substantiate a defense and whose primary defender is a cancel-culture chud?

Awesome. Thoroughly persuasive.
