SeraphEightyFour posted:My takeaway: Yes, it’s pure madness. The sad reality is that there are others like him who don’t know any better. It’s really easy to get caught up in this. Here is the thing, how much value do most of us get out of buying and playing a $60 game? I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe that I’ve ever extracted $30K worth of value from any game. Also, how often is he going to be playing this game? Those ships don’t even have their functionality in place yet. And when it is in place, then what? He’s going to have various ships, sitting in a hangar and useless to him. Finally, it could be that this is just an investment. Pretty much like the Grey market. He probably hopes that one day Chris pulls this off and he is then able to at least get his money back and/or turn a profit. Which is where the gamble comes in. If the game doesn’t come out as expected, he’s screwed. If the game ships in a subpar form and which makes those ships largely useless, he’s screwed. It just boggles the mind how “off” this whole thing is. Sure, we’re not one to tell people how to spend their money, but by the same token, that reasoning could apply to alcoholics, drug addicts etc. If you see something, say something.

Chalks posted:The Yahoo article is pretty balanced and reasonable, too. The Escapist article was pretty heavy handed and only really told one side of the story, but the Yahoo article basically says there are differing opinions and maybe it'll all work out OK in the end. Yes, it's telling. Telling that they're loving morons.

D_Smart posted:You guys are killing me here. So I'm supposed to ask for permission now to go have a chat with someone? Can we agree that Vox Day is, quite literally a neo-nazi? Can we agree that you said, "I like & respect @voxday and have NO comment about his opinions on ANYTHING. I don't care"? If so, can you maybe reflect on why liking and respecting a neo-nazi is a tad bit upsetting to others? Moreso that you''re suggesting you don't care that he is vocally outspoken about how happy he is at the suffering of thousands of people - men, women, and children - simply because they're not white? Derek. Let's be real. You're a public figure. You've made yourself into that. That position means that your time and association have a value and a merit. This isn't a panel interview for some youtube podcast - you're basically saying "this guy thinks hitler had it right and honestly that doesn't bother me, I'm happy to chit-chat with him about banalities!"

Jews sort of asked to be put in that position if you ask me. If they stood up for themselves or didn't tease the nazis with their short skirts, it wouldn't have happened.

His art was pretty mediocre, and many theorize that's why he threw a hissy fit over it and became a Nazi. Wow, I think I'm starting to see the parallel here with Vox Day and his game developer skeelz!

But then again, I'm not an American and have a dim view on all American politicians equally, so I have no idea who that "Vox Day"-guy is, but he makes me wish I had money to give Christ Roberts, just to spite him. Or never mind, that's stupid. Are there well-known feminist organisations who accept donations?

Just be sure you back the ones doing poo poo that actually matters, like counseling and helping women in africa recover from rape ect., and not your tumbrina with an IndieGoGo if you actually want it to go to some good use.

Lodin posted:While Vox Day are loving gobshites I see no problem with Derek talking to them about SC. Obvioulsy the Shitizens are once again going to claim this makes him a GGer but I refuse to belive that he shares any of their beliefs beyond SC being bullshit and that there are huge problems within games journalism and the games industry as a whole. It doesn't matter what he believes, you can't have tea and biscuits with a literal nazi and politely discuss the weather while ignoring the elephant in the room. That is a statement in itself.
