Probably a lot of pressure to win now. 2nd highest payroll in the league. Roll the dice.

Rebuilding. Again.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 days ago:
Neither of your responses are negating any of my points. Imagine believing the owner of a company makes or even vets all decisions. I don’t even understand your second response. There’s no morality in capitalism. Doubly so for a passive investment.
Shame anyone you want for their hypocrisy. Just don’t believe for a second that sports players somehow have a higher, let alone equivocal, morality than the layman. But, as stated in a comment below much better than I’ve been able to articulate, investments aren’t moral for anyone. Rich, sports players aren’t on some pedestal.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 days ago:
That seems kind of silly then. The entertainment industry has been rife with immorality forever. Sports players are literally selling their bodies to the highest bidder. It honestly makes sense a player would employ a company/person to get every dollar possible. NBA in particular is selling itself to the gambling industry. They aren’t exactly creating a moral refuge.
The idea of investing morally is minority concept and is honestly at odds with the whole modern capitalist idea of investment.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 days ago:
The amount of people that have gotten rich from sports is infinitesimally small compared to the total of rich people that exist. Yes, Playing sports well doesn’t equate to being morally wrong or right. I’m gonna assume the question wasn’t directed at that tiny group of people.
I will add that, in the vast majority of cases, people don’t invest money morally.

How do you think they became rich in the first place?
- Comment on World's Video Game Companies 4 weeks ago:
But they have gaming divisions which are technically their own companies. This chart js definitely cherry-picking. I didn’t even mention that “gaming” is highly subjective already. There’s more than just MS & Sony missing from this chart.
- Comment on World's Video Game Companies 4 weeks ago:
Why aren’t the “game focused” companies within Sony, Microsoft, etc. listed on here?

Nintendo did it and their fans still spent like crazy. Gamers have themselves to blame for this. Well that and the ever present corporate greed.

They didn’t have time.

Fry’s had been a living corpse for a decade. You’d have to go as far back as Circuit City to actually get the Fry’s you remember.

- Comment on Capcom spent 2 years trying to get permission to use Toshiro Mifune's likeness in Onimusha: Way of the Sword 7 months ago:
I’d recommend so many Mifune films. High and Low, Yojimbo (the movie that Leone copied almost shot for shot), or the Samurai Trilogy. Just a few of his 100+ movies he made. Mifune is one of the greatest actors to ever live.

“DRM has been hard tuned to maintain the same average frame rate, with even higher minimum frames in some cases”
What does that even mean for a PC game?
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 8 months ago:
Never will understand people equating monetary value with how long they spend time with a game. Quality /= quantity or else Ubisoft and gacha games would be the best games of all time.

As someone that argued this the other day, volume and production costs are waaaaaay different than then. This is a false equivalence.

No, they have Skyrim money for that. Imagine making money off of a game for over a decade, while barely putting money towards rereleases/ports. Didn’t even need a team for patches or content updates.
