You know, I remember there being a video about this. Like a long format video essay in which nintendo was the last videogame company to be mentioned and the sin was pride.

I don't remember who made the video, but I think it was super eyepatch wolf or another youtuber with a similar style. I tried looking for the video but I couldn't find it. It was really good.

I remember EA was greed, Valve was Sloth. And l think Bethesda was lust(? (Because of constant harrassment allegations in their offices or something like that), but the narrator kept reminding the audience that all game companies were all guilty of the same sins.

T'was really interesting

I spent far too much time trying to picture e.g. Captain Meliodas as Nintendo...

Lots of words that really just mean Greed (Glutton, Lust, Envy).

It's like people have known for thousands of years that greedy people are the fuckin worst

That’s because the sins are about exerting your will over others’/the community’s benefit and we use greed to mean wanting. Pride is greed for accolades, sloth is greed for rest, wrath is greed for emotional release.

Exactly. Greed fucking sucks

I could think of why each one is assigned, but I couldn't figure out why Ubisoft is pride. Any ideas?

My thoughts: they pridefully use the same formula in each of their open-world games, thinking consumers won't recognize that Far Cry's gameplay is basically AC with guns and a different story.

Possibly because they refuse to admit that they are being obtuse.

Sloth goes better with Valve imo.

No, lord Gaben will bless us all in his own good time.

No, valve still makes games, Konami outsources it.
