Nintendo games might be very family friendly, but Nintendo as a company has a well-earned negative reputation in a lot of verticals including esports and community events.

The article doesn't clarify where the threats were coming from, so it may be for different reasons. And obv it doesn't justify harassing and threatening random employees though.

I guess when they call themselves the party of law and order they're talking about the TV show???

I'm against doxxing in all of its forms. Privacy's a right and we should protect it, even when it makes it harder to punish the bad guys. So I'm not really mad about the outcome here

I don't know that I'd agree with characterizing this as doxxing; I'd say it's more in line with reporting. Especially considering many of the terrorists involved in this attack are still at large.

So is this guy, like, the Devil? Every headline I see with him is like "Emperor Palpatine is buying single family homes" where I just assume it's for some nefarious purpose that's gonna benefit his regime and dick over a looooot of people.

I could see them.partnering with phone manufacturers to have it pre-installed like they do with Facebook, TikTok, and all those other apps I have to delete every time I buy a new phone

Did they ever release the updated FSR patch they were aiming to release a while ago? I love content updates like this, but FSR is the main thing I'm hoping to see next.

A good start to fixing the poverty is if companies making obscene amounts of money from their labor start fairly paying people in these areas.

Def worth a watch. Tony's chocolate looks like a good alternative.

Their next game, Chicory, is currently in my backlog and should probably get kicked up to the top.

That's total number of employees for the company at large, including dozens of subsidiaries, their various product teams, AWS (which is reportedly in the ballpark of 130k), Prime Video, marketing, and all other departments.

Do you have a breakdown of how many of those are actually factory workers?
