    Let’s not forget this simple aspect:

    Interesting character - Seasoned Actor

    Interesting character - Seasoned Actor

    Interesting character - Seasoned Actress

    Interesting character - Seasoned Actress

    Interesting character - Just some Chick

    In the end studios want money above anything else. And big names rake in bigger money.

    My issue is that we are pairing nationality with skin color or ethnicity here. Those are not mutually exclusive. There are 2nd or 3rd generation Asians immigrants in Mexico, just as there are Mexicans living in Ireland, and Irish people in India, etc… Somebody could be a fully integrated national but not part if the nations major ethnicity. Even saying AFRICAN-American is kind of pointless, like it matters where your grand-grand-grand-grand-parents came from. They’re as much American as anybody else. We don’t call everybody else European-American for comparison.

    I find customer support service Chatbots useful, they tend to ask the right questions before connecting me to an actual human, so I don’t have to explain myself over and over. They also categorize your problem so you won’t be forwarded 3 times till you finally reach the right department. They’re essentially like the “press 1 to…, press 2 to…” shtick during a service call, except the customer support person has access to your chat history.




  • There are only a few things that will make me buy a game without a second thought.

    • a game by Capcom,
    • a game by Kojima,
    • “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam,
    • a Bundle with the game and all DLCs for under $10,
    • a game with a notoriously large modding community,
    • a game that a friend what’s to play in coop.

    That’s about it, everything else is pirate first and if it’s actually something I’ll play I buy the game for real. I’m 400+ games deep in my Steam library of which I have maybe 20 actually completed and 5 that I regularly play. That’s literally thousands of dollars down the drain.


  • Do you think everybody works on a game pro bono until it releases and makes a profit? Artists and Devs are all either commissioned or salaried employees. By the time the game releases everybody who put in any effort has long been paid. You’re effectively stealing management bonuses, shareholder dividends and most importantly the budget for a sequel or longterm support.
