I'm confused. It looks to me like the tiktok CEO is from Singapore. Not sure if he has an American citizenship but doesn't look like it. Sounds like something that matters if the concern is specifically about foreign governments

Remember all bans are discussed by at least 3 mods and carefully considered before any action is taken. We don't just ban people 'on the fly'.

Asking questions that you already know the answer to in order to get things officially on record is a chud tactic.

You: "Ok, I asked my wife/daughter/aunt/mother and their opinion counters yours."

Yes, there has. It's just that it's been a concerted effort by progressive white Americans to make sure that every person around the world knows every single racist American term that they never knew before.

On a basic level, if you're a marketing manager and you're not asking for some sort of metrics to assess your return on investment you're a fucking moron. But we already know that almost every single person involved in the western video game industry is a fucking moron.

Yeah? And how YOU feel isn’t how the majority feel. So shut the hell up.
What's important is how the mods feel. What's importanter is how kyujigiji feels.

Quote:I just realised something seeing all the Fallout sales boost news based on the TV show's popularity.
Square's intention with the FF movie and the Compilation of FFVII, and to a lesser extent with XIII (no movie) and XV (video animated movie) was to create a synergy feedback loop between movies and games that would increase sales for both.
Fallout has just done what they have always tried to do, while Rebirth's sales underperform.
If they commissioned a Final Fantasy live action show in a similar vein to Fallout and The Last of Us (did game sales get a boost?), could that potentially boost FF game sales and make FF the behemoth Square need it to be?
