When is MCA going to return to us with a celebratory Let's Play Arcanum thread, bros? He owes us that much.
So he can get mauled by the starting wolfies again?

It's longer than it should be and it makes no sense. Who built this thing and why? As Timmy said
Isn't it just an old vault repurposed as a challenge course?
I took it as part of the satirical undercurrent to FO2.

You have this tribe living pure hunter-gatherer style right next to this huge temple for a Vault Suit that they could've lived in.

Don't know about the hunter-gatherer part.
More like agrarian tribe.
And the Temple itself doesn't provide all that much, except protection, I think.

Chris, you can't even find work for yourself. Admit it, the time has come to make a Twitch channel and play Arcanum for donations.
He's working for WolfEye and [still unrevealed]. His options are severely limited, but he still has some.

Every company that uses "cute" labels like that for their employees deserves to go under and everyone that accepts it deserves to lose their job.

Severely limited, really? Just because dangerhair companies that would have cut 99% of his writing anyway don't want to be seen working with him?

Not sure why Riot needed that many people to begin with. How many people does it really take to maintain League of Legends? Sounds like typical HR bloat.

It's a worldwide live service that has to be up 24/7, with servers all around the world, and potentially millions of users at any given time. A substantial crew is needed imo.

This is your conclusion after 1 tweet?

I might have some contacts that could help those out of work. (There's a few in the industry that didn't rush to judgment.)

"I might have some" "There's a few"

Vast majority of the gaming industry is liberal. If they're not true believers of women themselves, then they're people who don't want to rock the boat and risk the ire of true believers. One hopes that after Avellone's name appears in the credits of WolfEye's next game and the unannounced project with no big controversy, the latter will feel more confident in hiring him for their projects. It'll take time though.

Amused how he blurred out the background details of his house. Also heard his wife in the background for a bit.

Gushing over Rat Queens was very pleb, but that's on brand. :M

Much better, hope he fully recovers and go back to writing for RPGs
Its an absurd that company fire people or cut ties without a sentence from an actual court, should be grounds for a lawsuit that sort of troglodyte behavior.

He's an independent contractor not an employee. If he didn't have a solid contract in place or there were severability grounds, etc. then that's it.

You know perfectly well what he meant. The contrarian role doesn't suit you. Keep to your corny quips and painful japes.

Do I? The point seemed to be that a company should keep ties with someone they really don't have to when it could hurt their business and reputation. Good luck with that.
