Wizards of the Coast hires fired Failguard director Corinne Busche - avoid their games like the plague

[TRIPLE A ®™]

They are the company behind Magic The Gathering, D&D and more. and they've just hired the certified game-killer, the demonic Corinne Busche to work on their next game.

Their homepage has an entire section dedicated to DEI (aka "Discrimination, Exclusion, Intolerance") so this doesn't particularly come as a shock.

but what baffles me is the blatant willingness to put their own company out of business, as if they haven't learned any lessons from the 10s or 100s of thousands of jobs lost in the past year from multiple studio shutdowns because their games absolutely sucked.

this also coming AFTER their own game D&D Dark Alliance is literally getting shut down because it failed so hard - and it was worked on by Sweet Baby. this is literally like drinking bleach even though you know full well it will end you.

unfortunately that's the only way they're gonna learn their lesson, so I cannot wait for their next game...so that I can watch it flop hard, like a car crash in slo-mo.

Then what is reliable? Metacritic? Anyone can rate a game there, you don't need to play it. That's why many games simply sink there, that's the haters trolling.

personal tastes tbh, sales dont arent even a good mark of quality tbh. FIFA was always a best seller every year and really didnt inovate much besidea how to push more micro transactions

Yeah but I wasn't saying that sales = quality. Whatever you say, though.

Funny that PEGI considers FIFA appropriate for everyone while a video game featuring a fictional card game gets rated as only appropriate for adults.

Virtual gambling using real money is fun for the whole family!

Transgender people have existed for much longer than you think. Fun fact: a Roman emperor was trans, Elagabalus. Obviously, the word didn't exist back then but that doesn't really matter.

Elagabalus wasn't really transgender, that is historically inaccurate.

He wanted to be a woman. He was a crossdresser at least.

i wasnt either, but its a claim people like to make. Which is why i said personal tastes.

Insanity is caring about how other people dress, who they kiss and sleep with. And just so you know, you don't have to remove your pp to be trans.

Not quite, many in the fashion world care a great deal about how others dress and there are many other reasons to care about who others sleep with especially in the medical field, but i woudnt consider most of those people insane. Oh and i know, you can also have a fake pp made and then attached

Fashion world? The one that thinks an ugly rag is worth a thousand dollars? Yeah, insane people like I said.

Art is subjective and artists do tend to seem very odd to those not of the same mind set Not to mention the excessive amount of money laundering that goes on the art world as well XD

sadly too many are about control and imposing their wills onto others

Respecting someones right to live as they please is not control, respecting someone by using a name they give you etc has existed for a very long time.

The only one that is going nuts are those who think cutting off care for a group that is less than 1% of the population is "helping".

Our leaders waste far more on war than they do anything else.

All this is is some guy pointing at a small house and blaming them for all their problems, when in reality it was the guy living in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mansion!

Use your head

Did the mention of Caligula spur on this thought process from you?

School dress codes. We had sooo many rules about what we could wear because it might be distracting to boys.

Thanks. Keep spreading this kind of information. The more we know, the more people will refuse to fund their ideological nonsense any longer.

Technically it's misinformation (or you may prefer to call it ideological nonsense), as she wasn't fired, she left the job voluntarily because she accepted this job.
