Vizi,
I feel for your son having a dad like you who views their child's interest as eww.
If you club a woman, she is likely dead and you are having sex with a corpse. I don't think that was common even back then.
DoA is also a Japanese game and Japan is a highly sexualized country. It is the most sexualized country of the industrailzed nations. Where else would you buy used women's panties in a vending machine?
Even in the US we largely got rid of booth babes, in Japan it is the main form of marketing.
Even Oculus is shifting towards stand alone headset powered by a mobile chip, while HTC is trying to get rid of their VR division. Valve isn't pushing new hardware either. Sony is dropping the prices on this thing like a rock. I think it is on life support soon. No major VR game from Sony either, and they closed down the Rigs studio.
This thing has less success than Kinect, and maybe even PS Move as a platform.
Yes. Cleared out at almost half the price. Crazy. Demand must be low on these. I think Costco did the same a week ago too.
Yeah, VR prices are falling like a rock. I know Sony is releasing another headset, but I do wonder if these prices are foretelling. Even discontinued consoles don't drop prices like this, so there might be a demand issue.
goken,
Phil isn't giving you that idea at all. It is all figment of your imagination. Things you want to hear, not things that actually are said.
uth11,
I think the burden of proof should be on both sides. We can't really expect the accused to investigate themselves, but we can expect the complicit party to do due diligence which in this case is Naughty Dog. It doesn't appear like they are.
I also think we should be careful about siding with the party in power here, which is also ND, because the risk is much higher for the individual with an immediate loss for someone that has a lot to lose...
I think in the US this Holiday, the Xbox and Switch will lead the way. The PS4 Pro had tepid sales, and I suspect it is due to MS announcing Scorpio. We just have to look to Amazon, and see that Xbox One X pre-orders of a limited edition console outsold the PS4 Pro for the year so far. There is a lot of pent up demand due to the imminent release of Xbox One X which is causing the decline of Xbox One S temporarily. PUBG is also a massive game only available on Xbox. I think the loss of Minecra...
Loot boxes are not a rip off, because you know what you are getting. Some will say games are a rip-off. Doesn't mean it is.
So you are saying it is okay to rip you off, because everything else cost a lot regardless of the underlying reason for the actual price gouging?
goken,
Yeah, that must be it. /s
Your ability to come up with ridiculous ideas with plenty of evidence to the contrary is astounding.
I don't think you can misinterpret it, and severance is completely separate. Any NDA is signed prior, not after the fact.
The fact that he hasn't come forward also speaks volumes, because this sort of thing can damage a person mentally and drain you. He probably couldn't hold it in anymore and came out with it.
The glaring thing to me is that ND instead of properly investigated (and they can release a statement that they are), they immediately...
Dark,
This is why people don't come forward, because the bar of proving it is really high, while the damage to oneself is certain. What proof can he possibly show? That somebody touched him inappropriately (if that happened) or made unwanted advances repeatedly verbally?
The glaring thing here is that Naughty Dog without proper investigation, immediately puts out a statement. The proper thing here is to interview his coworkers so due diligence is at ...
That is how I feel to, si i;m inclined to believe him. However, we should make a conclusion based on lack of evidence.,
What would naming the accused do?
It won't shed any more light on this and leaves you open to retaliation.
There is some form of sexual harassment in almost every large company. The issue is more that when it is reported it should be taken seriously, not fire the guy and offer a bribe.
Considering the person is a long time employee that left, and then was accepted back speaks volumes about his work and ability to work with the team.
We won't know for sure based on what has been revealed, but that boilerplate response from Naughty Dog says nothing. HR know...
Exactly!
This guy worked on Uncharted 2, 3, and 4. He isn't someone that hasn't been there a long time, and to not find work afterwards speaks volume about Sony. Either they keep really bad employees around for years, then also rehires them, or something happened and David can't get the references he need for the next job i.e. sexual harassment prevents him from using them or expecting positive reference.
My bet is that something definitely we...
Let's say for argument sake that he was inappropriately advanced and touched. How do you prove that?
Even if you go to HR, unless you put something in writing then fat chance there will be any proof except for his dismissal.
Shaun,
Have you met a woman outside video games?
They are human, and have all those limitations.
