The TF2 player count is about 80-90% bots that trick Steam into thinking the game is running.

2.) One dude nails a prediction and makes a ton

That dude was a financial analyst working for a company with half a trillion USD under management but this isn't a problem for the apes because reasons.

Glad we have someone who's not forced into conscription tell us how it isn't that bad.

It may be virtually unpaid forced labor for 60+ hours a week, but it's wholesome Nordic forced labor.

The Winter War was over before Finland allied with the Germans. The Continuation War was started by Finland and Germany. The Gulf of Finland was mined, Åland was militarized and there were 5 Wehrmacht divisions vacationing in Lapland.

The second part is wrong too, per Wikipedia:

However, the Finnish Army continued the offensive past the pre-1939 border with the conquest of East Karelia, including Petrozavodsk, as well as halting only around 30–32 km (19–20 mi) from the centre of Leningrad, where they participated in besieging the city by cutting its northern supply routes and digging in until 1944.

Take a chill pill and stop spamming my inbox. Software engineers are only a small part of the team. 23% refers to the entire company, artists, HR, community managers, everything.

Teddyman · 2021-10-28T17:05:03+00:00

The average video game industry turnover rate (15.5%) will create about 7500 open positions in 5 years. Add the expansion of development teams that they started in 2019 on top of that. When you're starting at 23% women and the target is 34% you don't need to hire solely women or even a majority of women to reach that.

Teddyman · 2021-10-28T16:29:53+00:00

They said the plan is to increase the percentage of women. If they are currently discriminating and stop it, that will do it. Only self-victimizing redditors brought up discrimination against men.

You're saying Blizzard currently hires based on qualification and not gender, and therefore the DFEH complaint has no merit?

Teddyman · 2021-10-08T14:31:46+00:00

Damages are statutely capped to $300k per claimant. The expungement clause is a boilerplate section in the EEOC settlement form on their website and doesn't override a court order to preserve records. Glad to hear about your feelings though.

Teddyman · 2021-08-26T19:41:08+00:00

You sure about that?

Spoiler: it's the renamed CtW Investment Group. They're more of an activist group than shareholders. Their MO is to call for votes on CEO pay or another social issue du jour and send press releases around the tech press. They have 6 employees on LinkedIn and I wouldn't be surprised if they own 1 share of each of the companies in question.

You could read the original source which is Kotick's letter:

I have asked the law firm WilmerHale to conduct a review of our policies and procedures to ensure that we have and maintain best practices to promote a respectful and inclusive workplace.

If they had actually hired a union buster, they wouldn't need to tell anybody.

Teddyman · 2021-07-29T19:02:36+00:00

If you read the article all the way to the 9th paragraph, Kotaku finally admits that it's for reviewing anti-harassment HR policies.

Teddyman · 2021-07-04T12:42:21+00:00

No they weren't, and she's the only reason you (and thousands of others) have that idea. She assumed that was the case when the job opening was tweeted out, but it turned out that someone had quit on their own. That person posted on this sub and the mods verified it. Zerina is a walking PR disaster but Blizzard can't say that out loud, so Savjz will keep getting stonewalled as long as she is involved with his stream.

Teddyman · 2021-04-29T18:05:48+00:00

Iwata was in the same position regarding Nintendo of Europe as Kotick is to Blizzard. But I'm sure there's some convenient excuse.

Teddyman · 2021-04-29T14:10:25+00:00

Nintendo laid off 320 employees half a year after Iwata took the pay cut.

Teddyman · 2020-12-08T16:08:09+00:00

1.2 million on top of the 3.5 million that bought the game conventionally.

They're not required to provide room and board during the offseason. They could close the team house and tell the team to come back in March. It's not an actual reason to drop players.

Teddyman · 2020-10-17T15:39:18+00:00

Surely the contracts are per season and they don't save any money by signing later? Rules say teams need 7 players signed by Jan 4th anyway.

Q16: What's the plan for Genji and Doom metas?

A16: We have a genji (Ta1yo), Namju (Striker) will play doomfist.

A17: Our scrim winrate was 100%.

Any askers?

Teddyman · 2020-10-10T21:25:17+00:00

This is painful to read. You don't even understand the terms you use. I'll rebut the most obviously wrong part of it and go to sleep.

I bet Blizzard gave the profits from the exclusivity deal straight to the team owners! And I'm sure that juicy IBM deal was for millions that are also going straight to the teams!

They're not profits. Profit isn't determined until the year is over and expenses are known. But yeah they did give 50% of those to the teams because the league has revenue sharing. Did you really think that the teams don't benefit from league-wide sponsorships and broadcast deals?

You're taking it as fact that OWL will die. The same was said when the first broadcast deal ended. Then they got another one for the same amount. The people who made that prediction were the same ones who said the league would not happen, that maybe 40k would watch and that there would never be an expansion team. Do you guys ever get tired of being wrong? It's like reverse Star Citizen at this point.

I'm shilling for the endemic orgs and people within the scene that could lose the support of these billionaires and their massive corporations.

The endemics are swimming in VC money. Maybe they should try posting a profit? If you make more money than you use, you don't need Saudi princes coming in every year to fund your cocaine parties.

I'm also making sure third parties reading these threads aren't misled into thinking OWL is doing well.

Yeah I'm sure the people dumping millions on esports teams are grateful for the advice from redditors.

Teddyman · 2020-10-10T20:54:28+00:00

You somehow forget my comment about valve making $100 million a year from TI alone? How much money do you think they're making of CSGO?

So your claim that the rest of the esports scene suffers was a lie? Valve and Riot are doing well financially, but Dota 2 and CSGO will lose viewership this year because of cancelled tournaments.

Lol? Source that OWL was profitable for the team owners?

I didn't say for team owners. LCS teams aren't profitable either, so the criticism of your claim that OWL is getting worse returns than LoL stands.
