The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

I'm not sure there's going to be a great recession. The difference between this and 2008 was the economic damage is a result of us turning it off. Once it starts back up, it will probably take a year or so to get going again, but not almost a decade like last time.

Yeah. Your precious narrative is collapsing about as quickly.

You sound like the random text about the dude claiming not to be a pedo. Never sound like the random text.
 
Oh my its almost like most probably signed that NDA agreement so they CANT do that, go suck more of that ND cock, learn how the industry works, Jasons lied before too, hes not trustworthy at ALL.
>Contract that ties employees to NDA agreements where if the contracted wage is not paid, the NDA doesn't permit employees to talk about it, and they still get hires, and people stay there for years on end. From a multi billion dollar company in Sony.

Yeah, sure.
Why don't you actually get real and educate yourself instead of pretending to have a 15th of a clue when you're talking about this. You're wrong about this 100%, but there's no amount of logic that will convince you of otherwise.

NDAs are not contingent on being paid. If you are going to use the line, unironically, 'educate yourself' you shouldn't leave such a glaring hole in your statement as not knowing that.
 
For the record, here is what muscular women look like:

View attachment 1264067
Note the large arms but small torso and upper body with small hands. Curves are still visible. Female body-builders are a thing and definitely look more freakishly jacked than that but this is after years of hard training and muscle-building--things that would not be present in an apocalyptic world.

Here's Abby for reference.

Flat chest, complete lack of curves, large upper torso, broad shoulders attached to jacked man arms, large male hands, thick legs and wide body.

This thing is a troon. There is no feasible way it is not.

There are a few photos in here posted of the model for Abby. And yeah, outside of some post workout photos, she doesn't look like that in the hips or shoulders. I even posted a picture of her in a dress.

Ah yes, lets just believe the multi billion dollar company (that Jason and other gaming publications are totally paid to protect from PR shit like this) that can sue literally anyone into the dirt for almost anything if they so pleased. And new hires aren't surprising, lots go through college and get brainwashed by professors that tell them these companies are so progressive and good and youll get treated oh so nice and good, when that reality is usually the opposite, then those "new" employees either leave, or are too scared to leave and stay and work there for the rest of their lives in fear of doing anything against their employer that has a lot of power over them.
 
So if the leaker wasn't actually an employee, you were just so massively incompetent that the entire plot of your game got leaked by an outsider? That's what you're going to go with?

"No no, it wasn't someone we hired. It was someone who we let walk through the door and have this crucial information. It was a uh, contractor! Yes! They just hate us because we're so woke!"

Like, pretending that's any better is hilarious. "We're just massive fuck ups, it wasn't malicious."

I wasn't talking about the video leaks, friend. The 4chan leaks that I was catching a metric shit ton of shit for doubting. I've had something like 20 or 30 people go through my posts here. And you're probably far off with this pay dispute claim.

lol, ok friend. The leaker just hated the wokeness and endangered his entire future, his family and his life to end a woke game. Is that what you're going to go with?

"Just a troll lolol." Right, ok.

And you're going to trust Schrier, a faggot who has sucked corporate cock his entire life? With a company that is racing to prevent this dumpster fire from getting out of control by any means necessary? Right, ok. Also I am so SURE his contacts at Naughty Dog wouldn't ever lie to him to cover up terrible fucking practices, oh no. Get the fuck out of here.

I've never seen something this big so long before a major launch leak, ever. First of all, if the motive isn't financial, its ideological, plenty of other wokeshit games from major companies have been released without a hitch. Its a job. You get paid, do the work and go home. Plenty of conservative Christians or conservatives work on these games. They don't talk about politics at work obviously, but they've never leaked them. So you're telling me, over an hour of various stuff got leaked, including the source code, over a single troll? If that's the case, Sony should sue Naughty Dog for neglect, because that's some god-tier level incompetence. I don't hear any mention of them getting hacked. So, how can it be someone NOT associated with the company? How do you get your hands on source code if you're a motion capture contractor? And releasing for ideological reasons means you're more than likely alone, because most people wouldn't do this and risk their careers to expose one woke game.

It is utterly implausible that this individual didn't work for the studio. Him working alone to gather various different parts means the studio is utterly incompetent. Even for Naughty Dog, that's a huge stretch. If it was for ideology and NOBODY notices him doing it, what do you really think that means? There's problems within the studio. If it was a single individual acting on ideology, it'd be obvious. So people would have to simply turn their eyes away from him doing it or ignore it. Which means...the studio is mistreating its employees.

The motive is financial. It is to simply ruin the games success and likely carried out by multiple parties. Which they would never admit, because that would admit the problems within the studio itself. What the reason is for that motivation is, it could be anything. Disgruntled employees being fired. Spitefulness. Low morale. It is to hurt them financially. Its plainly simple. Its revenge for being mistreated or underpaid or both. It isn't a troll, it isn't about wokeness, and an outsider couldn't have done this.

lol you're completely ignorant. Have you ever heard of the 'Dead Peasant Policy'? Corporations will take out life insurance on their own employees, and then when they die, they pay themselves. Not the employees family. Its called the dead peasant policy because they do it on mostly low paid workers. Its supposed to only be used on people who are invaluable to the company, but in reality its just a way to get a ton of money from some low wager. It isn't illegal and poor families struggle while the corporation makes out like a bandit on the dead employee's policy.

Same as with work visas. Companies will fire all high paid employees and bring in low wage foreigners. The visa is ONLY supposed to be used for labor that cannot be found in the United States, but that is never the case. It is almost always used to cut down on labor costs. And nobody ever gets punished for it. It is exceptionally rare that they do.

You have no clue what corporations will stoop to and do against their employees. Even if it is in the grey area. Especially in the gaming industry, which is notorious for treating its workers like trash.

Companies even NOW aren't paying back their furloughed workers.

You're running in circles.
>Jason releases article that "exposes" crunch at Naughty Dog, Rockstar, Riot, rails against Bobby Kotick and Activision unprovoked
>Jason is paid by corporate PR shield from that sort of thing

I am not a Schreier fan, my post history says as much. But that makes exactly 0 units of sense.

As for the new employees stuff, I can't tell if you're talking about skilled graduates with options and a shit ton of information through GlassDoor, ZipRecruiter, or illegal immigrants working on a farm.

I'm trying to not be condescending here, but that's just... not on track.

Schrier got an info dump, and made the scoop on crunch. But whenever he is relying on his own 'personal sources', take everything he says with a massive pile of salt.

He can be both the architect of the crunch scoop AND a shitty reporter, because it doesn't take a good reporter to relay good info.
 
Fucking hell, you're shitting me, this is actually in the game? (never played far into Dead Rising 3 as I didn't like it)

To think this was acceptable in a game as recently as 2013 and now we find ourselves in the situation we have today, the mind fucking boggles.

Yep, she's the Sin of Pride. Keeps trying to lift even as she dies.

Best guess is that whatever pipeline the leak came from was not prepared for the work from home solution.
If you want to boil it down to malfeasance or incompetence, you go right on ahead. This is, however a unique situation. Beyond that, I've nothing to say.

As for Schreier sucking corporate cock... how? When?
Worst I've seen from him was him defending XP boosters in AC Odyssey.

Do you have a single fact or source to back anything that you said about him or anything else you said up.?

Where do you think those info dumps come from? His personal sources are the ones who talk to him all the time. Who else would they be?

Is it that hard to believe that a guy who got into the access games media early knows a lot of people who are willing to tell him shit?

Almost everything he's said, and stood by has been true for years now. So, this selective "grain of salt" thing doesn't fly.

Combine your damn posts, multiquote is a thing.
 
So just to be 100% clear here, you claim everything everyone has said about the game to be a rumor...but one guy makes a tweet and you go “see?! This proves it” and you don’t see the hypocrisy in that at all.
What are you talking about?

The video leaks are 100% true. No one's arguing that.
But those precious 4Chan and Reddit leaks from before that were categorically false. They don't line up with what was in the videos. Flagging them as bullshit is correct.

You can't differentiate between Schreier, with a public and solid track record, and random anonymous 4Chan posters, who were proven to wrong, that's your problem.

So you believe that the sorceress from Dragon's Crown was intended as a dog-whistle to kiddy fuckers?
