  • There’s definitely an argument to be made for either your or my way. I feel if a lot more gamers were willing to vote with their dollar and be conscious about the ethics of the games/studios I might be more inclined to agree with you as it would have an actual impact. I realize I’m in the minority though based on how well FIFA does with each new version and so I know I’m not actually moving the dial at all. I decided for me I’ll keep the clear conscience and go play one of the other amazing games out there.

    I did send an email through a contact page to hazelight too to let them know EA specifically cost them a customer. Doubt that information made it anywhere, but at least I try.








  • I haven’t read the blog yet but this gets me all the time. I always prefer when managers were former software developers themselves so they understand this innately.

    I can tell you if two strings match in one line of code. If you want any leeway though in the strings matching (say we accept heaven and haeven) we’ve just jumped to a whole separate class with at least three functions and minimum N*M longer compute time plus added complexity in feedback to user (underlining the input or whatever if it’s wrong). But to a regular manager it’s still just “check if two strings match”.


  • I’m shopping for a home office chair I’ll also use for gaming and it sucks. Basically no stores carry samples in store anymore and those who do only carry those bucket seat atrocities. I’m ->||<- this close to just getting a big ol’ lazboy from a relative or something. And I don’t have cash for a Herman Miller or whatever.
