What is Nicalis and why should I care the founder is a dick?

So you can be an idiotic internet outrage monkey apparently.

Of course you defend a guy who signs agreements then disappears and professionally blames Jews and calls black people porch monkeys.

He's like you if you had any authority at work.

I was insulting people not defending them - but you already knew that. And you really do not know me at all Beamer so nice bit of projecting there. You seem to think having "authority" is something important. Can't say I'm surprised...

Ghosting? Like simply not replying to someone? Gesus, people have gone full on pussy these days.

That, or some "people these days" either can't read or can't think.

The example in the article is a company signing a deal with Nicalis, for Nicalis to do their port. They sign an NDA. They give Nicalis their source code. Nicalis then ghosts them and never responds to any additional communication.

At the very least, this is extremely unprofessional. At worst, they're stealing source code. In the middle, they're risking significant shipping delays by agreeing to do something then not doing it, likely costing several weeks of the team that made the deal wondering what the fuck is going on before they seek new partners.

If you think someone is a "pussy" for having a company they signed a deal with and sent their source code to going entirely silent, well, I really don't think there's anything anyone needs to say to you.

Ypur right, in almost every discorse these days there is a cadre of absoulte fuckwits that want to defend the otherwise indefensible and there is no rational, fact or idea that will make them think twice about their stated position. Fine if you are training to be a lawyer but otherwise I don't even know how you look at yourself in the mirror each day.

"but no one gets mad when a game is exclusive to steam!"

Yeah, because Steam doesn't make a publisher go exclusive to them. Any publisher can take their game to GOG, or Windows Store, or itch.io, or whatever. Steam doesn't dangle money in front of a dev and tell them "If you take this you can't go anywhere else"

In your defense of Epic Game Store, I'd like you folks to be a little less facetious.

How are they making publishers do anything? Epic isn't the mafia, where saying "no" means they'll shoot your dog.

Besides, it's not like Valve doesn't have a history of buying up studios/projects at the 11th hour to make them Steam exclusive.

The first hit's free

Fun fact, Valve implemented lootboxes in TF2 almost 1 1/2 year before EA introduced their version to the FIFA franchise.

Yet Valve sees almost no derision for doing that, while everyone else using lootboxes get piles of (deserved) hate piled on them.

Because *hats* are nothing like the straight-up casino gambling found in FIFA titles. It's not even remotely close to the same.

I'm wondering what innovations people were hoping for that would improve it over BL2. Other than setting, do series like BF and GTA really innovate version to version?

As for denim, I made it though the 80s and early 90s once. That was never my choice and it was more than enough denim for life. I wouldn't go near the stuff.

I think I must have never gotten over the fact my parents forced me to wear slacks and dress shirts to school through my freshmen year of high school. Since then, outside my time in the military and the occasional wedding or funeral, it has been denim/jeans all the time. Even wore denim shorts when I used to wear shorts, which I rarely do now. I don't really feel comfortable with anything but denim on my legs these days.

My company went full casual five days a week last year. It's been nothing but soft worn denim jeans since then.

[history snipped for brevity]

I am referring to Mohammad.

A perceived disrespectful treatment of the name and/or person's likeness generally results in a violent reaction from a fringe element of the religion. The game developers aren't prepared to go that route. However, they were okay with Jesus because it's en vogue.

How long has it been en vogue?

You tell me.

I mean, depictions of Jesus aren't forbidden, in fact, most churches are full of them.

And these products typically come from places where Christians are the majority and not persecuted against, generally the developers were raised in homes at least slightly Christian, which is very different than these same devs, in these same places, making something about Muslims.

You know exactly what I am referring to. If you don't get educated.
