And now can you please link the other comment that overall make the rating 4.2? You just cherry picked whatever you wanted to see just to validate your opinion lol. Oh wait, I'll do it for you, formating like you like to do it in all your posts:

- Cool projects and overall nice people - Quite flexible - Good creative freedom - Quality is important, artistically and technically

- They respect autonomy - Good ambient - Office is really good - Hardware / Software is really good
Level of creative freedom is high , supportive management staff who train you.
- Salary is always given on time.
- Overtime culture is discouraged (I often finish my work day by 6:30 or 7pm, others even earlier).
- Clear roadmap on career advancement within the company. - Compassionate and reasonable team leaders.
- Thoughts, ideas and feedback are listened to and addressed. - Teammates trust each other and work to find solutions together instead of playing the blame game. - Diverse group of artists from a wide background, experience and age range. - Online meetings are often friendly and fun.
- Company take into account employees' mental health (surveys and recreational activities are organized).
- We receive gifts(Godiva chocolates, artbook, etc.) and bonuses from the company after a certain duration on a project.
- People in general are really friendly, helpful and easy to reach, at all levels within the company no matter who you are in the hierarchy.
- Company is full of like-minded people and the games are really fun.
- Great people and atmosphere overall. Great games made, always targeting fun and game play quality.

You're like the definition of confirmation bias, in all your posts.

Ah. See what you've done there is make a fundamental error. You thought the Government had come up with a program to offer kids a chance to try a career in the military. What's really happening is the government is trying to sucker trans into joining the military so they can be abused and pressured to fight in the government's secret gladiator arenas.

I got depression and intrusive thoughts. My wife hasn't given me anything, my mom hooked me up with stuff from my Amazon cart I couldn't pull the trigger on.

I got gastroenteritis, a four-day no expenses paid stay at my local hospital, a brand new blood clot in my lung, and a required three-month prescription of blood thinners that my insurance doesn't cover and that costs $800-$1200 per month.

Actual footage of B-Dubs modding Era:

[TylenolJones]

It’s only down 97% yrs, what’s the rush?

Markets open for 3 days before Jan 1st, will it hit a penny?

By doing it voluntarily they avoid running into the "penny stock" regulations that will get them delisted or having to open themselves up to evaluation/a sponsor to stay on the  market: https://www.otcmarkets.com/files/OTCQX_Rules_for_US_Companies.pdf

There's a bunch of complications but more or less your stock can't go below $1 a share for 90 days. Their stock has been worthless forever (https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/MOBNF/overview) but somebody recently just dumped all the holdings to totally crater the price:

They dumped an equal amount the day before this announcement, it has to be someone involved in the company.

All the action is happening in the Nasdaq

   

They’ve had 8 million shares sold this month so far.

[TylenolJones]

What is Moba worth now could we buy a majority share?

If I read this correctly they are at about 2c a share and they have around 1.4M shares. So you could buy out all existing shares for about 28K? 

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MOBA.ST/

You’re not. Price is 2 cents, but there’s 22.6 million shares. Just wait for the bankruptcy auctions.

French cinema actress Brigitte Bardot dies aged 91

The actress was a symbol of sexual liberation in the 1950s but became increasingly controversial after making homophobic and racist slurs.

Look fellas if we buy MOBA and we get ResetEra, imagine the leverage we would have. 
We could set the narrative, get access to their DMs, control the ad buys. 

At just 2 cents a share we'd be kings of the general gay leftard gaming discourse.
Making it profitable isn't hard if we create enough controversies.

Each of us would buy some shares it would look random, they wouldn't know it was us.

Demi thinks this is over I say this is just beginning.

get access to their DMs

actually kind of a wild thought

imagine the sheer fucking disdain for the users in the secret mod board

The obvious answer is we get Elon to finance a buyout.

I hate elitism and snobbery, simple as, whether it's wealth elitism, class elitism etc. So it shouldn't be that much of a surprise that I don't like gamer elitism much and my tolerance for it has grown shorter and shorter over the years. Whether it's genre elitism in general, elitism against people with "lesser" computers, elitism again "casuals", elitism against people who play mobile games, console wars nonsense, Console vs PC nonsense or the many many MANY fan warring nonsense I've seen over the years, I have very little time for it.

First of all, it just makes gaming discussion more toxic then it needs to be (and it can already be quite toxic), often creating an "us vs them" mentality that is utterly miserable to try to discuss around because people online will try to place you one group regardless of you feel about it (and the worse is if you so-so or in the middle opinion of a subject). So much of this feels like the result of people online treating everything under sports team mentality (which I am also just sick of) and often turn every discussion into right vs wrong, trying to prove the other "side" wrong with gotchas to prove themselves "Objectively" right over some of the most silliest of things (and no, I'm not talking about pushing back against bigots and hate, that IS something that should always be called out and pushed back). Nuisance discussion gets harder and harder to impossible; and things feel like they become screaming matches and people being passive aggressive with each other (which I'll fully admit I'm guilty of as well).

And so often, it feels like these things often come across as one sided, online people shouting at people who don't care and trying to provoke them into reacting to feel superior to themselves; just angry that game X and game Y is more popular then Game Z and feel the need to demean those who like X and Y; or upset and holding grudges against people for having the gall to disagree with them. Hell that can be used to describe so much of nerd elitism in general.

To be blunt, most gamer elitism to me is just insecurities, a need to feel superior compared to others. Simply put, so much of gamer elitism just feels like an excuse to exclude people, to try to push people and opinions out they don't like, to make an excuse to dismiss criticism or differing opinions on their favourite games. This is why I roll my eyes when I see gamers talk about "the casuals" because it's just elitism and ego and just fucking arbitrary… And misogynistic and homophobic.

Yeah let's just slam into the big Elephant in the room, it's hard not to notice throughout the decades gamer elitism, hell not even that, nerd elitism is very often slanted against women and LGBTQ+ people (and so often by white straight men), that hobbies and genre more popular with women and LGBTQ+ people, whether shipping, fanfics, social games, simulation games etc etc will so often be automatically considered "casual" genres, lesser or more mockery worthy, more worthy of being talked down to. Elitism to exclude people not deemed worthy to be "hardcore" enough to be "real gamers" because they don't want to share the space with us, don't want to acknowledge they aren't special and we've always been around. You see this with anime discussion, you see this with nerdy movie discussion etc etc.

Same with disabled people, it's hard not to notice so often when I see "hardcore" gamer dismiss accessibility options in gaming (and no I'm not talking about easy modes, don't fucking derail this thread) as "AAA focused group nonsense" or "Hindrances to REAL game development, freedom and creativity"; I simply cannot hear in my head "I feel superior to you for things you can't control or help! I don't want you to enjoy MY games!" that game developers don't really and shouldn't care about issues that don't affect "real" gamers, it feels incredibly othering and exclusionary which is the point.

So yeah, I despise gamer elitism

It's an overdone trope but it's hard to imagine how you would write a lot of these sorts of stories otherwise

You write the oppressed as the unequivocal heroes and change the social dynamics of their situation at the end after they fight for change.

You know, show a revolution. It's been done before. But again there's no real interest by studios to do so even within fantastical worlds, much less real life stories.

 



These are the stories they don't want you to read about, much less tell.

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MOBA.ST/

Nah, the 1.4m is just the volume of shares trading the day you posted the chart.  The total value is market cap: 4.4m SEK or about $481k.  From the screenshot it's about 22.7 million shares outstanding bc the market cap is 4.4m divided by share price of .194 SEK = about 22.7m shares.   So about 2 US cents after conversion (at the time of the screenshot) x 22.7m = ~$481,000.  :(
