This was obviously made by a Sony fan boy

Greed applies to all of these companies let's be honest.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Greed could encompass most of the 7 sins.

Lust - Greed for sex

Sloth - Greed for relaxation

Gluttony - Greed for food

Envy - Greed of others stuff

The only two that don't really fit under greed is pride and wrath

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Pride - Greed for attention

Wrath - Greed for violence

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

I was gonna put pride in there as greed for power but pride comes in many forms.

As for wrath I don't see it as a greedy thing it's something that is provoked. Evoked I should say.

Wrath - Greed for self-serving ends

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pride could work but wrath is a stretch

Wrath - Greed for control

Greed, the character from FMAB, has an interesting take on this concept. He extends the concept to call the idea of the heroes winning completely (i.e. they get their bodies back, defeat the bad guys, no one dies) to be a form of greed, and the idea of greed is independent of morality.

You could call this unhelpful broadening of the concept of greed, but I think it's an interesting reframing of something people usually think of very negatively.

Can't the same be said about Lust?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Greed is lust for money

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

That's kind of companies work. The problem is when the company becomes the industry standard.

Basically go for smaller companies and generic brand products. They are better sometimes anyway.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is actually pretty accurate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I'm surprised how much it fits

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (3 children)

What's the connection between Blizzard and Lust?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Multiple sexual harassment claims and lawsuits, including incidents of stolen breast milk.

  • Alleged cubicle crawls where drunk employees go cubicle to cubicle harassing females.
  • Multiple C suites resigning due to personal indiscretions.
  • A "Cosby" suite
  • Suicide due to extreme harassment
  • Multiple allegations of breast milk missing from office fridges.

You can't make this shit up.

A "boys club" scandal a couple years ago where the male higher-ups only hired women who would tolerate being sexually abused. Some ex-employees described it as "company culture" that propagated for a decade or more. There was an investigation after some women spoke out that led to several top level managers being fired and a couple CEOs being scrutinized really hard.

All of this is off the top of my head and maybe somewhat inaccurate, but that's the gist of it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Maybe like Overwatch and sexualized characters

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

did you ai generate every single one of those logos

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

It’s not AI generated, it’s AI upscaled because the original was very low resolution and I was to lazy to remake the meme

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Sloth goes better with Valve imo.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

No, valve still makes games, Konami outsources it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

No, lord Gaben will bless us all in his own good time.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

can anybody explain the konami part to me? I am out of the loop.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

They keep releasing collections and new games are all outsourced.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Konami published a lot of games that had potential but they didn't really take them anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Could also be they fired Kojima because they just wanted to release Metal Gear themed pachinko machines and Kojima wanted to make more ambitious and original games.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

thanks! i remember castlevania holding out but the others probably ended out as pachinko bait

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Sloth should be Bethesda.

Why is the Nintendo logo AI generated?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Maybe to avoid copyright claims

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

To escape their wrath.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The other logos are weird as well. Might be some upscaling at work here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Probably so they have a defense when Nintendo sends a cease and desist order for using their logo.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

They probably are already dead

It’s not AI generated, it’s AI upscaled because the original was very low resolution and I was to lazy to remake the meme

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago

Fair enough.

That's for upscaling and not uploading memes in shit res though!
