What the fuck did Mexico do?
What the fuck did Mexico do?
I have no idea what you just said.
Funny. Tech bros insisted that this wouldn’t happen.
I could have sworn Atari was bankrupt. Where’d they get the money to acquire anything?
Are we talking about the same thing? I replied to someone taking about OpenAI, not porn in general. The creation of porn without the consent of the people fed into the program is nothing short of an ethical nightmare, even in cases where said people are pornstars. You’re painting me as a repressive for shit I didn’t even say.
God forbid people have concerns about ethics.
Well you see the problem is there aren’t any Romans left to scapegoat.
Things are often better when the people making them give a shit.
Great art was never created for its own sake /s.
Doesn’t it, though?
It used to normal to beat your kids. It was wrong then and it’s wrong now.
This is what the players wanted, and the industry listened.
The reason we are having this conversation in the first place is because people didn’t want it.
This isn’t forced upon anybody.
They added it the game post-launch, after reviews had already come out. Anyone morally opposed to micro transactions (which as I’ll get to in next point, have a very good reason to be opposed to on principle) who had bought the game has been tricked into supporting a business practice they despise. This is incredibly scummy and should rightfully be seen as a dick move.
It only becomes a moral problem if somebody’s choices are circumvented, but that’s not really what’s happening here.
Micro transactions as a concept are strategically designed to exploit people with addictive personalities. This is not a theory on my part, this is legitimately what the intent behind them is. But don’t take my word for it, here’s a video discussing that very thing.
Something being normalized doesn’t automatically make it morally okay.
These are peoples lives we’re talking about.
So tech outpaces legislation, as it is wont to do since legislation is notoriously slow, and so because of that our reaction should be to throw our hands up and not even try? Perhaps you don’t sympathize as much as you think you do.
Transphobe who talks like a JRPG villain. Here’s a rationalwiki article about her.
Their games get delayed because they actually finish them before release. They’re one of the last AAA publishers who still believe in quality control. This is a very bad take.
I mean, Hitler had an underling named Himmler. Sometimes coincidences happen.
