Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Brian Provinciano made retro city rampage, then, crammed it into an NES cart. I don't think this argument is really valid.

Also, really, the breast milk bit? we don't want to work with females? what is that shit.

I think it is more about the harassment allegations.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Do you have any recent examples? Am genuinely curious, given that it's something that's been a problem in the game's industry for a long time, particularly at places like Activision.

Honestly, I am trying not to keep up to date on bad shit. Yeah if a company really sucks I won't support it but I aint looking that shit up.

......?

do you not understand that internal and external harassment has been a huge problem in gamedev? at many many studios?

I'm getting too involved for this meme I guess.

These types of allegations only were made public in recent years and related to recent events.

Even if harassment was an issue even in the 90s, we didn't hear about it.

Did I say anything about about these things? I just said it was about all the allegations and not about not wanting to work with females.

We are women. Not "females".

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Totally, that's what I'm trying to lampoon, sorry if the sarcasm didn't come through on that aspect. I maintain my premise, there's a tremendous amount of harassment devs put up with for the 'privilege' of working in the games industry, a key aspect that makes me support unions and worker organization.

That incident happened in Activision Blizzard. One of the terrible harassments women had to suffer there.

Shut your mouth and hand over your milk.
