Video makes some fine critiques. I agree with some and disagree with others. I think he overplayed the "criticizing totk will get you publicly stoned" bit

One argument I never liked is the "give us back traditional dungeons" complaint. I don't believe you could ever design a OoT/TP/WW Dungeon with BotW/TotK mechanics and movement.

The whole "solve room-by-room puzzles and combat until you get the one item that works against the boss and collects dust for the rest of the game" doesn't work in a game about finding resources, taking risks, exploring new places, trying new approaches to familiar situations, and being prepared for the unknown.

I think BotW and TotK dungeons could have been better done, getting to the dungeons was almost always more fun than the dungeons themselves even. But forcing the old formula into a new game just isn't it.

There was also a $275 million penalty assessed for Epic in December 2022 related to privacy issues with Fortnite.

Basically, the game had voice chat and display names on by default. Since kids and teens are the target audience, this of course led to lots of bullying, threats, and (sexual) harassment. Epic also collected kids' under 13 information without parental consent for at least 2 years.

https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2022/12/gift-privacy-fortnite-players

So in total we're looking at over half a billion in USD that Epic has to fork up.

This article sheds more light on the issue.

Epic saved your payment details and did not offer a confirmation screen on ingame purchases, making it especially easy to click on an item and buy it without intending to (or without parental consent)

Wow, that's a non slap on the wrist. Fuck their unintuitive shopfront.
Part of their sales strategy was to capitalize on FOMO while obfuscating the value of their shop items.

"Get this skin that costs somewhere between $24.99 and $32.99 before it's gone! Only 9 hours, 43 minutes, and 15 seconds left to buy it before the next big ticket item is here!"

Per the link.

About the Settlement
Epic Games, the company responsible for Fortnite, agreed to pay $245 million to settle FTC allegations related to in-game purchases. According to the FTC, the company charged parents and gamers of all ages for unwanted items and locked the accounts of customers who disputed wrongful charges with their credit card companies.

Not sure what the full details are, or how this could apply to other games/companies, but this seems to be specific to Fortnite.

The FTC is ordering Epic Games to refund nearly $250 million from unwanted vbuck purchases made between 2017 and 2022.

This is especially aimed to help families whose children made unwanted ingame purchases.

  • Guarantee that every American has access to housing, food, and health care at the expense of corporations and the ultra wealthy
  • Guarantee free college education to every American
  • Pass legislation that protects unions/workers from employer exploitation
  • Make sure our border agents and employees aren't violent rapists that abuse migrants
  • Build infrastructure and hire workers that can process the current level of immigration
  • Make the immigration process streamlined with less red tape, creating a path to citizenship where migrants can then enjoy access to housing, food, and health care at the expense of corporations and the ultra wealthy as well as a protected union job
  • Immigrants who then wish to further their education can enjoy free access to college like any American citizen.

If the person in charge of approving appointments doesn't even hold the hearings, then they don't care who is appointed and therefore should be treated as immediate approval.

Why doesn't the executive just start filling these positions and telling people to report to work? Force the issue. Don't play their game, ignore it entirely.

So, you don't think people have a right to have sex with those they're attracted too? Gay people aren't allowed to have sex soley with cis men anymore? Same with lesbians? With have to sleep with trans people we're not attracted to, to make them and trolls like you happy? Because thats what you're saying.
If you wanna talk about transphobia in gay and lesbian spaces, then we can.

It has nothing to do with your original argument or the three others you pivoted to, but we can.

This is the same channel that made the videos about NFTs and Decentraland/Metaverse. In this video the creator, Dan Olson, speaks about the factors that played into the GME Short Squeeze and, more importantly, the culture and discourse surrounding it.

This one clocks in at a whopping 2 and a half hours. The quality is top notch as always, but you'll probably need to set time aside to really absorb it all.
