  • Wow… I really don’t buy those excuses…

    They literally admit to seeing the problem before distribution, but instead of just deleting them from the email, they decide to just not include the place where it would get them into the most legal trouble instead?

    Uh… No… That’s not an accident anymore. There’s no oopsie there.

    Then they go and double down on reddit by giving the excuse that the symbol has been around way longer than it’s modern historical use, so we shouldn’t stop using it because someone corrupted it?

    No, that’s not how it works.

    Things get ruined and they take on new meanings, that includes words and symbols. You don’t just get to decide that you’re going to take back the symbol of some of the worst evil mankind has known just because it had another meaning before that and then expect everyone to be like, “Oh, alright…” It has a new meaning now. One that everyone recognizes… A meaning that it is blatantly apparent they were aware of beforehand and decided to use anyway.

    Anyone buying that bullshit excuse is an idiot.

    Fuck GoG.

    No worries, dude, I get it. I’ve had my work taken before. It’s nice someone liked it enough, but it kinda sucks a lot when you worked hard and they can’t or won’t even mention your name.

    It makes me itch a little bit when I see that someone hasn’t even put their name on their own art. Like, take some pride in it!












  • I remember grabbing whole collections of NES games at yard sales for like $10-20. It’s wild how much people would just let stuff go for. And the general consensus was always that they didn’t know what they were worth. Like… You dropped $60 on one of these games, and now I’m buying them off you for $2 a piece? I’m just gonna hand you the money, try not to look excited, and walk away like this was a smooth drug deal…
