When is he going to jail for being a spineless cuck?

His heart still beats!

You guys are a bit on the mean side. If it turns out he's also been working on an RPG this time, while fighting in the courts, you're going to feel sorry.

...

Yeah, yeah... I'll do it myself... *draws a rainbow above his head*

He made a joke about how he's still unhireable.

He's most definitely not, obviously not getting a job due to ongoing(?) litigation.

How has he not gotten the bitch to make a public apology yet?

In other news, Overwatch 2 has been added to my list of “whoa, is this over written” games.

Because when it comes to overwriting, trust me, I’m an expert. #OverWrote2

Every time I hear Moira and Reinhardt discussing crushing bugs, I wince.

That said, Sombra’s lines about discovering Bridgette’s poetry stored on her computer are golden.

I've felt like almost everything I've played recently has been terribly overwritten, Atomic Heart being the most painful recent example. It seems like a real problem in games writing this generation--narrative designers aren't confident enough in non-verbal storytelling.

IF WE DON'T EXPLICITLY TELL THE PLAYER WHAT THE THING IS THEY MIGHT MISS IT AND THE NARRATIVE CRAFT IS RUINED FOREVER NOOOOOOOOOO

Best writers know what -not- to write for sure.

I do like to imagine in Prey, breaking through the glass, experiencing the greatest "wtf" moment in games history, but instead of leaving it to your imagination...January says "OH MY GOD, I GUESS WE AREN'T ON EARTH AFTER ALL, HUH, MORGAN?"

Ex-actly.

MORAN, IN CASE YOU MISSED THE POINT, WE ARE IN SPACE AND YOU SHOULD BE FEELING AWE RIGHT NOW - ARE YOU IN AWE WELL IF NOT YOU SHOULD BE CUZ THIS SHIT IS MIND-BENDING RIGHT

ALSO PLEASE HIT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE IF YOU WANT MORE PLOT EXPOSITION FROM YOUR BEST BUD JANUARY

Nobody forced you click on this thread, dipshit. Now fuck off with your lame attempts at humour.

Nobody forced you to take a big fat shit either, yet you made this thread.

JOINT STATEMENT FROM KARISSA BARROWS, KELLY BRISTOL, AND CHRIS AVELLONE
The parties resolved the matter and claims were dismissed with prejudice pursuant to a confidential settlement that provides for a seven-figure payment that includes the return of the attorney fee award entered against Mr. Avellone in California.

I understand that Ms. Barrows has requested to retract her comments to the media about me.

Statements are as follows:

“After engaging with Mr. Avellone, we have prepared the following statement:

Mr. Avellone never sexually abused either of us. We have no knowledge that he has ever sexually abused any women. We have no knowledge that Mr. Avellone has ever misused corporate funds. Anything we have previously said or written about Mr. Avellone to the contrary was not our intent. We wanted to support women in the industry. In so doing, our words have been misinterpreted to suggest specific allegations of misconduct that were neither expressed nor intended. We are passionate about the safety, security and agency of women, minorities, LGBTQIA+ persons, and every other community that has seen persecution in the video game industry. We believe Mr. Avellone shares a desire to protect and uplift those communities. We believe that he deserves a full return to the industry and support him in those endeavors.”

- Karissa Barrows, Kelly Rae Bristol

“I appreciate the willingness of Ms. Barrows and Ms. Bristol to work with us in addressing issues within the game community, and their advocacy is to be commended and supported.

There are still many very real challenges that we face but am confident we can face them together.

In the spirit of these goals, I would ask everyone to respect the privacy of Ms. Barrows and Ms. Bristol and use this opportunity as a means to listen to all voices in improving our culture and our communities.”

- Chris Avellone
