Nothing exciting to see here. Move along.

If I had more knowledge about how bad kids' media has it these days, I'd probably say that too.

As it is, I'm more familiar about the badness of current videogame company strategies and how lootboxes and a game's own digital currencies are designed to suck every last bit of money out of poor suckers like me.

Please for the love of God keep crypto out of videogames. The videogame society has enough scams as-is.

did you not catch the news about the recent spate of steam games that had cryptominers installed, but would encourage people to leave the game running by offering random timed drops (that were created to look exactly like valuable lootbox rewards from other games for the purpose of trade scams)

I found out about it just after I posted that. :eng99:

are you seriously defending her. she keeps claiming some kind of written contract agreement was violated, but she doesn't have the chutzpah to actually go to court over it, she'd rather hide behind her pseudonym in china and sling the personal information of someone (iirc) who has a family

yeah and like great she claims she had some "written agreement" about those issues. but instead of doing the necessary legal legwork, or screening potential interview requests better, she doxxes and threatens a writer while still hiding comfortably behind a pseudonym on the other side of the world. real classy
