A: My name is Brian Robbins and I am the founder of Riptide Games. I'm primarily a developer, but since I'm the only person at Riptide I end up doing a bit of everything. With Gravity Sling I teamed up with a few other local devs, several of which I had worked with before. We started this as part of a 12-hour game jam, and had so much fun with it that we decided to finish it up and submit to the app store. Of the 5 people who worked on it, 4 of us are programmers and we had one sound guy."
Growth driven by digital software and console hardware sales.
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
