This is actually pretty accurate.

[-] Rokin@lemm.ee 43 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, I'm surprised how much it fits

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 117 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 68 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 49 points 3 weeks ago

Pride - Greed for attention

Wrath - Greed for violence

[-] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Pride could work but wrath is a stretch

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

Wrath - Greed for control

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks 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.

There should be a memorial for victims of EA (all the studios they have acquired and then shut down), similarly to the Victims of Communism memorial.

[-] cikano@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago

Why does so much of the text look so AI-smudged

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 45 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The original is very low res that's why I upscaled it:

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 27 points 3 weeks ago

Probably the AI-smudging

Sexual harassment cases at Blizzard.

Maybe because their Overwatch models are used heavily in porn.

[-] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 12 points 3 weeks ago

So THAT'S why it's always so high-quality.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Nonsense. The porn has way better quality models than the game.

Or so I heard. I don't play Overwatch.

Maybe the Crosby Room has something to do with it?

[-] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

Damn that Cosby room will haunt them forevermore

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago

What's the sin where you can't count to 3?

Why is the Nintendo logo AI generated?

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 23 points 3 weeks 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

Maybe to avoid copyright claims

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago

They probably are already dead

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

To escape their wrath.

Alright, I normally show up to these to be the voice of reason and moderation...

...but no, this one kinda tracks, actually. Carry on.

[-] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 11 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Hector@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks 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.

Sloth should be Bethesda.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

did you ai generate every single one of those logos

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 weeks 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

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Slutty slutty Blizzard

[-] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

Why does everything in the picture look blurry?

[-] oce@jlai.lu 26 points 3 weeks ago

You have to disable motion blur.

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 weeks ago

It was AI upscaled, the original version looks like this:

AI upscaling made it sharper, but overall worse. Entertainment under Blizzard is completely unreadable in the upscale.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 points 3 weeks ago

What's the connection between Blizzard and Lust?

[-] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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 a lawsuit, 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.

Edit: Here's an article for you

[-] Shard@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks 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.

You know, I remember there being a video about this. Like a long format video essay in which nintendo was the last videogame company to be mentioned and the sin was pride.

I don't remember who made the video, but I think it was super eyepatch wolf or another youtuber with a similar style. I tried looking for the video but I couldn't find it. It was really good.

I remember EA was greed, Valve was Sloth. And l think Bethesda was lust(? (Because of constant harrassment allegations in their offices or something like that), but the narrator kept reminding the audience that all game companies were all guilty of the same sins.

T'was really interesting
