16-bit Butt-Head posted:

pepe being labeled a hate symbol was a really stupid overreaction and just led to nazi's trying harder to claim him as their own. just use the frog if you want too because any sane person should be able to tell the difference between a regular cartoon frog and a racist cartoon frog using simple logic and context

While I agree with you in theory, in practice people are not nearly as sane as you think they are and will not care about logic and context, and constantly harping that they should will not change that.

Most people believe what they're told and take things at exact face value, and that includes symbols that "logically" are totally innocent like the Swastika, Pepe, and that hand sign, so we need to treat them appropriately and not just assume the best of the online masses.

His Golden Parachute has been discussed to death here, but I'm genuinely curious about the non-financial fallout he might face. Like, surely his name is radioactive by now no matter how much cash he gets on the way out, right?

I can only hope that such a failure from a large studio will discourage others from trying, but I'm not that optimistic.

FFXIV on its own has to be funding years worth of gently caress-ups from S-E, I don't think they're going to actually be "in trouble" anytime soon, unless FFXIV has two trash expansions in a row or something.

They definitely presented it in a very NFT-ish way, but as far as I can tell, there's no actual momentary value to any of it or even a way to trade.
