This is actually pretty accurate.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I'm surprised how much it fits

[–] [email protected] 118 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Greed applies to all of these companies let's be honest.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Greed could encompass most of the 7 sins.

Lust - Greed for sex

Sloth - Greed for relaxation

Gluttony - Greed for food

Envy - Greed of others stuff

The only two that don't really fit under greed is pride and wrath

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Pride - Greed for attention

Wrath - Greed for violence

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pride could work but wrath is a stretch

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Wrath - Greed for control

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I was gonna put pride in there as greed for power but pride comes in many forms.

As for wrath I don't see it as a greedy thing it's something that is provoked. Evoked I should say.

Greed, the character from FMAB, has an interesting take on this concept. He extends the concept to call the idea of the heroes winning completely (i.e. they get their bodies back, defeat the bad guys, no one dies) to be a form of greed, and the idea of greed is independent of morality.

You could call this unhelpful broadening of the concept of greed, but I think it's an interesting reframing of something people usually think of very negatively.

There should be a memorial for victims of EA (all the studios they have acquired and then shut down), similarly to the Victims of Communism memorial.

Why does so much of the text look so AI-smudged

[–] RmDebArc_5 45 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The original is very low res that's why I upscaled it:

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Probably the AI-smudging

Sexual harassment cases at Blizzard.

Maybe because their Overwatch models are used heavily in porn.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

So THAT'S why it's always so high-quality.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Nonsense. The porn has way better quality models than the game.

Or so I heard. I don't play Overwatch.

Maybe the Crosby Room has something to do with it?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Damn that Cosby room will haunt them forevermore

Why is the Nintendo logo AI generated?

[–] RmDebArc_5 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s not AI generated, it’s AI upscaled because the original was very low resolution and I was to lazy to remake the meme

Maybe to avoid copyright claims

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably so they have a defense when Nintendo sends a cease and desist order for using their logo.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

They probably are already dead

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

To escape their wrath.

Alright, I normally show up to these to be the voice of reason and moderation...

...but no, this one kinda tracks, actually. Carry on.

can anybody explain the konami part to me? I am out of the loop.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Konami published a lot of games that had potential but they didn't really take them anywhere.

did you ai generate every single one of those logos

Sloth should be Bethesda.

Slutty slutty Blizzard

Why does everything in the picture look blurry?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

You have to disable motion blur.

[–] RmDebArc_5 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was AI upscaled, the original version looks like this:

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

AI upscaling made it sharper, but overall worse. Entertainment under Blizzard is completely unreadable in the upscale.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

What's the connection between Blizzard and Lust?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

A "boys club" scandal a couple years ago where the male higher-ups only hired women who would tolerate being sexually abused. Some ex-employees described it as "company culture" that propagated for a decade or more. There was an investigation after some women spoke out that led to a lawsuit, several top level managers being fired, and a couple CEOs being scrutinized really hard.

All of this is off the top of my head and maybe somewhat inaccurate, but that's the gist of it.

Edit: Here's an article for you

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Multiple sexual harassment claims and lawsuits, including incidents of stolen breast milk.

  • Alleged cubicle crawls where drunk employees go cubicle to cubicle harassing females.
  • Multiple C suites resigning due to personal indiscretions.
  • A "Cosby" suite
  • Suicide due to extreme harassment
  • Multiple allegations of breast milk missing from office fridges.

You can't make this shit up.

You know, I remember there being a video about this. Like a long format video essay in which nintendo was the last videogame company to be mentioned and the sin was pride.

I don't remember who made the video, but I think it was super eyepatch wolf or another youtuber with a similar style. I tried looking for the video but I couldn't find it. It was really good.

I remember EA was greed, Valve was Sloth. And l think Bethesda was lust(? (Because of constant harrassment allegations in their offices or something like that), but the narrator kept reminding the audience that all game companies were all guilty of the same sins.

T'was really interesting
