You don't assert causation unless there is conclusive evidence in support of it, and hence the default stance is that there is no effect.
To impute to video games those things you say, the experiment would have to compare those randomly (in case aggressive people who lack empathy and self-control simply prefer violent games) assigned violent video games with those assigned non-violent video games (to control for the isolation of gaming itself potentially causing those e...
Punishing people for their private lives is wrong in both cases.
Just because other businesses do something, that doesn't make it right.
No, because hardly anyone will play it without the patch. Hence such a review is useless for 99% of players.
Newnormative.com fails to deliver representation of diverse ideas.
That was incidental. No one forms their opinions with the aim of harming their friends or employers, but being true to themselves, and their internal logic. You cannot control your thoughts (reason is its own rule).
So the cause of disclosing those beliefs was honesty, which aims at justice, without having any material impact (discussion is how we arrive at truth, so people have a duty to be honest in the pursuit of truth).
I'm not blaming those who c...
Good, moral companies protect their employees. Bad, greedy companies toss them into the streets at the first sign of trouble.
Your sympathies are not justified.
No, that's complete nonsense. The dichotomy is not public/private, but professional/private.
What is said when at work, or as a representative of your workplace is professional (I mean, using a professional social media account, as opposed to a private one). Everything else is private.
Enough nonsensical rhetoric. This decision is indefensible.
Freedom of speech means the freedom to share thoughts without consequences. To say otherwise exposes a grave misunderstanding of the concept itself. By your logic, freedom of speech exists where your government executes you for it, as this is a consequence.
I'm surprised your post has so many upvotes, to be honest.
Besides, how does this benefit anyone? You can't punish someone into changing their mind about something. Is he to remain unemployed? ...
I hope the devs get bombarded with bad reviews for this decision. It's cruel toss someone out of a job for saying things you don't like.
A nasty, unprovoked attack by Newnormative. These sort of hit pieces ought to have no place on this website.
Probably so that VR users can find other players more easily.
It's known that Crytek are in financial trouble, and looking for cash.
Glad he left Bioware.
Giving in to these people only emboldens them. Stupid decision and bad for us all. The only solution is to punish PUBG for this decision by complaining right back.
Why are bones marketed towards dogs?
If I call myself candy floss, that does not make me candy floss.
Almost everyone is "anti-fascist", but the groups which go around calling themselves "anti-fascist" are not anti-fascists, but anti-rightists, who target anyone on the right (including conservatives and liberals), which includes, but is not limited to, fascists.
The telling thing is this: ask someone to define these words in a clear and unambiguous way, and you will not g...
The offence is that the sentiment is NOT seen to be aimed at actual Nazis (who pretty much everyone dislikes for one reason or another - genocide and irredentist wars are wrong), but is actually aimed at conservatives. I.e. the idea is that the modern definition of Nazism has been twisted by highly ignorant people to mean "right-wingers", and so when the term is used today, it indicates a desire to annihilate the right wing while feeling like some sort of hero. This is insane, and d...
Only for uneducated people who don't read books about actual Nazis, and hence don't know enough to make accurate comparisons.
Newnormative has a diversity problem too - not enough diversity of opinion (and unless you're a racist, this is what matters).
If "hot garbage" should be censored, we can start with your comment.
