Not sure why he's hedging on whether "games as a service" was conceived by publishers to milk money from players

The games industry mindset is deeply fucked up. Just saw a piece with sage advice for new game studios: "don't make the game you want to make, make the game you think people want to buy." And then they wring their hands about creative bankruptcy.

Or piss and moan when what they think people want isn't what people actually want, so their zeal for some dogturd kills the company. Frankly, nobody should think video games are going to make them boko bucks. The people who did are flukes, the industry isn't conducive to great games, and nobody should expect to make a living off their hobby like they're some kind of Michaelangelo (who came out even anyway, though he won eternal fame).

Der Steppenwolf, the Decameron, and Sense and Sensibility all on the front page. Peak middlebrow.

(I freely admit that Der Steppenwolf had a massive influence on me when I was fourteen.)

He has tattoos of cathedrals;



He promotes fake events which promote hate and violence against Muslims;



This last one is especially egregious because it is an event that did not take place with fabricated letters, it was done by a Russian nationalist. Cossacks in no way had any problem with Ottomans specifically, as they settled in Ottoman territory after Russians kicked them out.

He is peddling false narratives to radicalise people. Especially in using an emotionally evocative picture of a man reacting to his son's death and religious war in second one.

It is sad to see Josh has went this way. I myself am a fan of history of Russia and appreciate Christian architecture, it is a shame he has to taint them with his controlled ideology.

Obviously he hid Mein Kampf and Sein und Zeit before taking the picture.

Let's remember, Josh Sawyer wrote the character called Joshua Graham. Joshua Graham says explicitly "We can't expect God to do all the work", calling the followers to direct action. When will he be hold responsible for his agenda of hatred?
