I mean, if you're gonna take that stance, why game kompanies in particular, and not literally every business that needs a reputation and your money?

People typically play video games to relax and take their mind off of the troubles of the outside world, so naturally most people are probably not amused to see the outside world brought to the games.

I can understand themes and other story related imagery, but this is a flat out current events response. Activision doesnt want to be the one company promoting their brand when nobody else is.

Got any better examples? Its legit the only one that I'm aware of.

LAPD reformed in a major way after the 92 riots and has an approval rating of 73%.

They still killed more people than any other police department in 2015.

PMarth2002 posted...

Anyway, I'd expect it to take time and from what I read the murder rate is at its lowest since the 80s, which seems to say its making some progress at least.

You still have a 1/62 chance of being a victim of violent crime in Camden and 1/33 of property crime.

Progress is nice but its not the reform utopia some people are presenting it as.

Oh yeah, about the whole you have insurance thing? Lets see how well that worked in the 1992 LA rio-

The majority of the local stores were never rebuilt. Store owners had difficulty getting loans; myths about the city or at least certain neighborhoods of it arose discouraging investment and preventing growth of employment. Few of the rebuilding plans were implemented, and business investors and some community members rejected South L.A

Well shit

Nobody but a select few were upset at BFV because of that

People were annoyed because they were basically making Battlefield 1.5 with hella recycled assets and nothing people wanted (Russian campaign, eastern front, D-Day) and made it look like a fucking Borderlands game in the launch trailer

I suspect they're going to do something like what happened with camden new jersery's police, not just disband it entirely.

Camden has a reputation of being one of the top 10 deadliest cities in the US even after this reform lol, trust me its not the best example whatsoever

Who the fuck are you to say whether the destruction was justified or not? It's just material shit, most of it insured.

https://youtu.be/3AaG9SueNZk

tl;dr premiums are gonna skyrocket, prices will increase to compensate, people stick with big businesses as a result, and this is assuming they dont consider it an act of god, which civil unrest occasionally falls under.

Wii_Shaker posted...

We are living in a country where a large percentage of the population is literally the targets of violence and have almost no representation.

why does any of that have to do with looting and property damage lol, I live in the hood and nobody here felt obligated to fuck shit up

Wii_Shaker posted...

I don't expect you to really understand the complexities of the issue but I can promise you it's much larger than wanton destruction.

occams razor says people were looting because they knew they had a good chance of hitting a lick and escaping in the chaos. how much more justified do you want to make out a felony lol

So, 100k+ deaths so far. How many deaths did the 1918 pandemic have in 3 months?

The death toll [of the Spanish Flu] is estimated to have been anywhere from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in human history.

Unless you expect this shit to mutate into something even worse its disingenuous to equate it to that flu. Even the US only has about 1/6 of the total deaths that the Spanish Flu had, if your numbers are true.

what were the unemployment numbers during the Great Depression?

The highest rate of U.S. unemployment was 24.9% in 1933, during the Great Depression.

The U.S. economy suffered its biggest labor market shock on record last month, as government figures released Friday showed the COVID-19 pandemic erased 20.5 million jobs and sent the nations unemployment rate to 14.7%, the highest since at least the 1940s.

And just in case that's not enough for you:

https://qz.com/1826170/us-unemployment-claims-coronavirus-vs-the-2008-recession/

More than 10 times as many unemployment claims were filed during the 2008 recession37,118,000, to be exact.

TopKekBro posted...

when is the last time you saw riots and looting across different cities at the same time for the same reason?

You know exactly when lol

As a result of Donald Trump elected as 45th President of the U.S., thousands protested across twenty-five American cities, and unrest broke out in downtown Oakland, California, and Portland, Oregon. In Oakland, over 40 fires started and police officers were injured.

That's 0/3, buddy.

TopKekBro posted...

But most importantly how is this being better off than we were under Obama?

There was plenty of unrest under Obama lol, this one just came at an awful time of quarantine mixed with unemployment.

You can be a bleeding heart as much as you want, but that's no excuse to not be able to see the forest from the trees and think it's all so simple as "racism is responsible for all of this", especially when your doomsday facts aren't even right.

I'd be surprised if this doesn't quell itself once the weather starts getting real nice and all the states are properly opened. People are gonna want to shop until they realize they destroyed all the places they would regularly frequent lol

And since I dunno where else to mention this, just about all of the Apple products stolen during this looting are virtually paperweights since they weren't scanned properly; can't wait to see OfferUp be full of dirt cheap stolen offerings.
