You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

what's especially wild about this is when people impersonated HER with AI she made a stink and actually got the government to start making protections against AI identity theft.

then, this.

kinda crazy how every single “just give people enough money to afford some basic stuff” experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Part of me wants to comment "oh I don't have many issues" so that he can reply back and I can just go 'yea so now that I have your attention here are all the issues and if you choose not to reply any further it's a pretty plain admission that you are cherry picking comments.'

But yea I guess I can just never speak on that ever at all even though it is historically proven shit like this is only stopped by loud, vocal, public facing collective action

And instead just post my most recent nail set or shoes 😭

It’s way more scary than I think people truly understand. But as long as you get to create a cool picture of you that looks like princess Mononoke, right?

they even say as much downthread so I'm not sure what the point of the original sentiment is. If you are aware that they are expensive, and that the onus of ensuring these spaces thrive and grow should be on bosses getting their staff out there and conventions making them accessible, why say this?

A PT You Can't Sweat Out 🔜 Kwanzaa & BtB! @pleasantlytwstd.blacksky.app · 5d

I feel like a lot of people forget these things cost money. GDC is ungodly expensive and we're not even going to touch international travel.

Also making this take like we haven't seen mass layoffs for the last 3 years is demon work.

It would be fascinating for people to be surprised when the layoffs hit considering *waves hands around last 3 years of gaming*
