@rkuzdas Of course. A woman who chose to be a scammer rather than work a honest job would know a thing or two about avoiding rent.

@GameGod77 Easy. It laid the conditions for games to be penalized by the games media, and official review scores are often used by publishers as the metric for certain bonuses. For example Obsidian was only given 18 months to make FO New Vegas and they'd get extra money if the metacritic average was 85. They got an 84. If games media has a political bias it creates a perverse incentive for devs to try and do things for the benefit of reviewers even though it does not benefit the customers. If even a single point is the difference between getting a bonus or not getting it... It affects rational decisions. Look at Far Cry 5. Games media criticized it because... it didn't address racism. How would have a racism subplot improved a game about doomsday cults?

TDFPL using logic against Sark or her simps is like trying to play tennis against people who are tossing live hand grenades at you. You can't come to them with good intentions and try to have a good faith argument. You may win under the game you think you're playing, but the rules are different to them.

@GameGod77 They didn't listen, because jurnos are still complaining about the games. Nobody mentioned female protagonists - and Anita criticized those too by the way - but nice job fighting that non existent enemy in your head.

@GameGod77 Jack's legal power was threatening frivolous lawsuits. Anita, without stepping into a courtroom, manipulated an entire industry.

@bytheburnside7539 she said that Hitman encourages the player to murder strippers A game where the highest scores are achieved by not causing collateral damage There's no context that justifies that

@nopizzawithoutpineapple so Jack wanted a ban that would have been easily overturned at the supreme court over free speech, An*ta circumvented that pesky free speech by poisoning the industry against itself Yeah that's more insidious.

Mass shootings happened before videogames were popular. It's like going postal. There is a reason that was a trend for a hot minute. Media has applied pressure on the contagion effect. Not videogames.

I mean he's the ultimate grifter, he knows a thing or two about evading rent.

Not really the same. Multiple jurisdictions changed voting laws, so multiple lawsuits had to be issued. Even the Time article on how the election was "fortified" explained it.

Not really. There was a cutural shift. Entertainment is actually rejecting the edgy. Videogames don't make you think bad things are acceptable. Culture made people think bad things were acceptable. Gen Z grew up with videogames and they are more conservative than millenials.
