I could talk for weeks about the sheer nepotistic corrupt bullshit in the early years, when an Ayn Rand roleplaying group (not kidding, they were called “Taggart Transdimensional”) got unique advantages from the devs that no one else could access all in the name of “roleplaying.” They conjured up fictional characters that gave those advantages (the very first and exclusive t2 mining laser blueprint originals) to their Randroid favorites, and over and over again changed the rules to fit their favorites, year after year.

The dystopian corruption of the setting was coming from inside the development company.

      I remember now, “Teapot” is still enraged, weeks later, over what I said about developers getting abused by working conditions around recent Mortal Kombat games. The hypocrisy about “touching grass” is amazing here, as is the “u mad” Redditism.

            The same Epic freeze-gamer is now defending the fucking devs of EVE Online who have been corrupt and manipulative in their own game for decades with thorough and expansive documentation.

            Does @Teapot@hexbear.net even have leftist takes, at all, or is he here to be a toxic fanboy for every rich corpo within bootlicking reach?

          It seemed, weeks ago, that you were previously trying to come across as a boilerplate “nothing offends you and other people’s feelings don’t matter” type, performatively and loudly not caring about anything… until of course someone happens to criticize the emotionally traumatizing working conditions that went into making a video game. That’s real shit for you, isn’t it?

              Lol, I’ve never played mortal Kombat or eve.

              Are you claiming that you’ve been a toxic stan for both games’ corporations just on a whim?

              I just don’t care

              Liar. You care a whole lot considering how you’ve been dragging on your “totally not a fan” rage.

              you are hostile to people for no reason

              Do. You. Even. Have. Leftist. Takes. At. All?
