    spartaman64 got a reaction from Wasabi.jp in Star Citizen scaling back plans and no longer posting long term target dates   
    yeah but its way past the promised release date so there should be a cut off somewhere. if i say hey im developing a game thats going to be released next year and then after next year comes i say actually its going to be released in the year 2500 dont worry we are totally still developing it and we are keeping your money i think that should count as fraud

    I stumbled upon these this morning. I was rooting for LMG to get a kick in the butt but now I am praying none of these allegations are true. While I don't support what LTT has done, I don't hate them or wish any illwill. I suspect the third party won't find anything, but it doesn't look good either. My question is if work environment was/is so bad for women, I HIGHLY doubt Yvonne and other females would have been ok with it.  The whole thing stinks, and just like many things I bet the truth falls somewhere in the middle.

    Because venting is therapeutic.
    Everyone here seems to be American-as-fuck jumping straight to legal help.
     
    What's legal going to do? What kind of evidence could you possibly gather for all of these verbal issues?
    What kind of defense can Madison get compared to LMG's massive wallets. Not to mentioning re-living the trauma by having to go through the entire process of thoroughly going through everything. And of course the LMG fanboys are going to TORMENT her through the whole process. It's lose-lose-lose.

    Anyone defending a work environment where someone feels the need to self-harm to be able to take a sick day without getting hounded needs to get their head checked. Anyone claiming she is definitely lying because she never went to law enforcement or pursued legal action at the time also needs to get their head checked.

    i am honestly horrified by some of the responses to this. in her thread she details a culture of constant pressure and sexual harrasement. its crazy how apathetic some of you react to reading things like: "I was asked to twerk for a co-worker at one point. I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called "retarded" I was called a "faggot"". This is on no way acceptable. "why is she coming forward with it now" maybe because now the community will finally listen. "theres no evidence" so you expect young women in the workplace to walk around with a gopro on a selfie stick 24/7? "this is mostly complaints about the amount of work" yes exactly, the amount of work that they dedicated an entire team to now. you all need to better educate yourselfs, because its clear none of you have any idea how much things like groping, inappropiate comments and no one to back up, eat away at your mind. shame on all of you who treat this like some kind of "clout chasing". this is someone who finally found the confidence to share their story

    Agreed. If it was as easy as filming a 30 second shitpost everyone would be famous on twitter.
     
    I would like to add that for "rinse and repeat" that means you have to constantly come up with ideas. Your idea well can't run dry. If you use up all your good ideas you have to come up with more. It's one thing to do this when it's just for fun whenever a good idea pops into your head. It's another to have a constant deadline where you HAVE to come up with content even if you have writers block. You can't just half ass it either or your performance will drop and you will be replaced.

    What an absolutely tone-deaf response. 
     
    You ignore a number of factors, such as the power-dynamics that would be involved in a position like such. I am a bit perplexed how you don't understand what "inappropriately grabbed" means. As you are completely unaware of sexual harrassment that occur in the workplace (perhaps you are and that is actually the issue). 
    I don't believe that she was "offended" by the fact that senior management wasn't "fire(d)" because she was complaining. She was discussing how the inappropriate management of the facilities/programs was not being addressed. 

    I'm completely perplexed at how someone could be this level of complete inaccuracy in their reading.

    I've been a lurker on this site for years and have thought about joining for a while but haven't till recently and if you are a representative of the community here, I don't really think almost anyone would want to come here.
     
    Also, if you wish you can try that "Oh you just haven't been out in a real workplace" thing - that is fine. I worked for the railroad for several years and have had to deal with being told a bunch of things when the issues weren't my fault. So that won't really land with me, but you are welcome to still make them nonetheless.

    Also some of y'all calling her a drama queen or a "woke person" seriously need to start reconsidering your moral compasses and critical thinking skills if you ever want to get in a relationship. Get out of your basements.
     
    Of course she took this moment - this is the first time in LMG's history where not everyone is on LMG's side. It's much safer for her to come out with this now cause she would have been unfairly destroyed if she posted this weeks ago.
     
    If you were in her situation, I'd hope that you would want people to believe you.

    Made an account solely to respond to this. Creating engaging short-form content (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc.) can actually be FAR more intensive than most people think it is.
     
     
    It's not just
     
    Film 30 second shitpost --> Submit --> Profit!
     
     
     
    It's more like
     
    Spend hours planning engaging/worthwhile content --> Throw out ideas that don't work, expand on those that might --> Make filming/editing plan, get external parties/on-screen talent involved --> Film content, sometimes requiring multiple takes and anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours filming depending on the content --> Edit the content, adding in overlays, subtitles, engaging on-screen elements, etc. --> Post content, maximize success potential with title, metadata, thumbnail, etc. --> Check analytics, see what worked and/or what didn't --> Rinse and repeat
     
     
    It's very easy to trivialize the amount of work that goes into just one short little piece of content most people see once and never think about again.

    Baffled at all of the comments saying that it’s convenient for her to be popping up now and sharing all of this.
     
    This is exactly like the MeToo movement. People don’t post their stories out of fear of repercussions. But now that the iron is hot, it makes sense to come out now.

    Perfect timing if you have beef with your employer, who has been controlling and somewhat intimidating. Though I would like to hear the other side on the topic as well. It's just words, after all.

    i mean much of the original video is just about inaccuracies in LTT videos so there isnt much to contact them about since its fact-based. the only thing i thought they should have asked LTT about is the billet lab situation and I thought i was right in that hunch when linus implied that it was already resolved in his statement. but lo and behold it turns out linus was being misleading at best and they didnt try to resolve it until the situation blew up so even in that case it turns out gn was right.

    And was he wrong? The one substantive point that Linus made, that LMG had "already agreed" to compensate Billet for the lost prototype, was a PR statement made up of weasel words with the effect of misleading the audience it was presented to. Linus phrased that carefully, but his statement was intended to make you think that:

    A. LMG had agreed to compensate Billet for the prototype before GN published their video.
    Reality: LMG responded offering to compensate for the prototype AFTER Gamers Nexus published their video, but before Linus posted his statement here.

    B. That Billet had already agreed to ACCEPT the compensation offer as a way to make the best of a messy situation (of LMG's creation by auctioning off something they didn't own).
    Reality: Billet had not responded to the email from Linus offering compensation as of the time of his forum post yesterday.

    To me, this vindicates GN's response and invalidates any criticism that can be levied towards GN not giving LMG right of reply in the first video. Linus' reply here in terms of the Billet labs situation used weasel words to twist the narrative and deceive the community that follows him. And the overwhelming majority of the video was based on OBJECTIVELY wrong information, with the commentary on what LMG thought of the different errors/mistakes/etc. excerpted DIRECTLY from different WAN shows and other LMG videos - their opinion on these situations is included from other direct media (like WAN shows) that they created responding to these points already.

    Damn the fact that Linus alleged Billet had already given him a quote and it turned out that they didn't until GN's video was live and he asked  is quite the reputation hit IMO. That's by far the worst part of this whole situation.
