"Momoa, himself a Fast & Furious star, seems like a solid pick to headline Helldivers"
... no?
Helldivers are expendable grunts, meat thrown into the grinder. They shouldn't be genuine action stars.
This doesn't fill me with hope that they understand the IP.

This studio is a stone's throw of my house, is one of the few major gaming studios in Scotland - and I hope its CEOs Mark Gerhard and Leslie Benzies never work in this city again.
They did this. The waste of years of gaming talent. It's on them.

They took one of the most characterful songs of the time and just stripped all of the soul out of it.
That's exactly what you want people to think as you dance - soulless.

It should be beyond common sense at this point that people should keep their organisational and personal accounts very separate and treat engaging with them very differently.
Social media has been around for decades now. There's no excuse not to know the taboos of organisational social media use!

If you're upset that someone criticised your organisation - do not under any circumstances get into an extended back-and-forth with them about how they're wrong and also just as bad as you are *from your organisation's social media account*

"Emancipation of the working class" apparently involves taking advantage of working class artists by using tech built on the theft of their work.
That isn't emancipation, it's exploitation, and I am absolutely done with it. This entire exchange today has been ridiculous.
