They didn't lie about the polls, that the polls were right or wrong have no incidence on journalistic integrity.
What's your point? You think it's weird if people want to see proof? That's a strange principle?
There's million things you take for granted without requiring direct proof.
Timing is a bitch though. This sucks up some of the O2 from the impressions of the game. If I were QD's PR I would have waited a month or so after the game came out.
But since you were not given proof directly you logically should assume that most murder convictions were wrongful.
I think you're misunderstanding most of what I'm saying.
Hopefully you would agree though that there are cases that can't be proved guilty within the rules of a court of law that many in the general public would believe to be at least party guilty? Obviously there are high profile cases like OJ Simpson, but also countless other cases that are thrown out due to technicalities or lack of funds to continue the case. Simply not being found guilty by a judge or jury should not preclude us from finding fault in a company or person based on their actions.
Your definition of proof for rape cases is narrow and ignore the actual reality of the cases that happen.
I don't know anything about France's court/judicial system, so others will have to comment on that angle. I just assumed it was better than America's system, lol
Sigh.
The point I'm trying to make, is that the burden or required proof in a court of law is (or should be) much higher than that of personal opinion. Not to mention cases that are settled without going to trial, they really don't imply guilt or innocence.
Yes, I definitely realize that some people choose to believe in this philosophy. And there's nothing wrong with that, because in the end a random person's public opinion doesn't mean anything to the actual legal case.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with that philosophy as there have been enough incorrect accusations to warrant that position. In this case, it doesn't seem like the case of the studio behaviours is going to trial at all, so I doubt we would ever have any sort of judicial proof either way; and if there were charges I'm sure it would be settled before trial anyways.
I swear we had a topic about that here...anyway here's the info
I agree, expecting to have all proof presented outside of court (or even inside of it) is an unrealistic stance to take. I'm only giving the benefit of the doubt to the individual that they are only referring to cases where there are charges and a trial to follow.
They aren't even contesting the content of accusations but if they were done in a manner that follows good journalistic practices (give everyone in the story a chance to speak up and get their voices heard, do your due diligence to confirm stories to the best of your abilities and from more than just one source, try to maintain objectivity etc.). In other words, QD is trying to imply these outlets did a shitty job with tmheir reporting and didn't give them a fair chance of responding (even though their response is in at least one of the articles that I read), not even really saying what they reported was untrue. This is clearly just a PR move to make gullible people like you and many in this thread who haven't followed this case at all doubt the accusations. And right when Detroid is about to be released, how about dat. Not coincidental timing at all, I'm sure.
It gets better. Here's his voice actor.
Beyond Two Souls had mystical natives, and in that same sequence managed to completely misportray the living conditions of the navajo, on top of that, the game has multiple instances of the white savior trope. QD has not at all gotten better when it comes to the portrayal of PoC & the portrayal of women.
You don't see a difference between "Mad dog" and relying on the mystical native trope which at least used actual native actors? The whole sequence in Africa also actually ends up being
In that same sequence they would have the audience believe that if you very slowly speak in English to PoC that they'll understand you. And the way the Navajo are portrayed in Beyond Two Souls is just as stereotypical as the Mad Dog sequence right down to the assumption that all Native Americans must've lived in tipis surrounded by totem poles.
-Something tells me that the series that debuted with a minigame that allowed you to get nude illustrations of women in the game didn't have a no nudity clause included in the contract, must be something to do with the fact that literally no one in the Witcher is based on a real life person let alone a celebrity.
Is that a unique VA they brought to do that charcater or one of the VAs that do tones of side minor characters?!It gets better. Here's his voice actor.
The one black guy in Heavy Rain, voiced by a white guy in the most stereotypical way possible.
Don't worry, gaming community is known for killing studios with bad publicity. No matter how much they try to silence journalists I know Detroit will bomb because of this.
He voices a few different characters in Heavy Rain, another being the Middle-Eastern shopkeeper.
David Cage can go fuck himself indefinitelyIt gets better. Here's his voice actor.
The one black guy in Heavy Rain, voiced by a white guy in the most stereotypical way possible.
Pathetic is having the only black man in the game voiced by a white dude and talking in a horrendously stereotypical way.
