      It’s so mindbending to see people that nerdanwere yelling about on the Internet about drm and micro transactions literally protect rapists and abusers. Like, we tried warning everyone.

    Even if it was, is higher union membershop so bad? If you treat your employees right you should have nothing to fear from unions

      Luigi should only be introduced to people whose decisions actually make a difference. Kotick is a cunt, but the decisions he makes aren’t the difference between life and death. He deserves a good smack to the head, but not death.

    Your gamepass subscription put ungodly amounts of money on Kotic’s pocket. MS did nothing but layoff the employees to clean house after. It’s on you, and the outlets that peddle gamepass and take advertising money from Acti/MS. You don’t get to play innocent, especially eurogamer who shills egregiously for the highest bidder.

      I mean, I agree that EuroGamer plays shill to the highest bidder, but to say that people paying for Xbox GamePass directly paid Kotick is pretty disingenuous. Yes, it went into the same money pool that Microsoft used to fulfill Koticks contractual agreement to get him to leave, so did all of their other revenue.

      I could just as easily say that your grandmother’s Office 365 subscription money, or the money I spent on a new PC that came preinstalled with an OEM Windows 7 key, all went into that payment. At the end of the day, blaming the consumer can only take you so far, but in this instance it is too many levels removed from direct consumer payment.
