It Appears Official: Konami Defaulted On The Silent Hill Web Domain
If there was any doubt left in your mind as to whether or not Konami had actually managed to re-acquire the Silent Hill web domain, this should probably put a nail in that coffin. After months of the website hosting a rather simple meme, it has now changed to hosting a single image of a now rather infamous tweet by Silent Hill creature designer and ex-Team Silent developer Masahiro Ito. The tweet in question was part of a series of tweets in which Ito bemoaned having created the creature Pyramid Head in the first place, although he neglected to state the reason (and specified it had nothing to do with unpaid royalties).
Back in 2019 the Silent Hill website, silenthill.com, went up for sale from the web domain holder for a cool $9,835 USD. It was snapped up quickly after but left dormant for over a year until the announcement of 2021’s Resident Evil Village. After this point, it became host to a single image of the 2006 Silent Hill film’s Pyramid Head against a height chart, mocking the 9ft tall stature of Village‘s popular Alcina Dimitrescu. It stayed that way for a year as of a few weeks ago, and now it has suddenly changed to this screenshot of Ito’s tweet.
It’s been in question for a while now if the Dimitrescu meme could just be part of an (admittedly shallow and a bit lazy) way of trying to catch attention in the midst of the fervor surrounding the character’s internet popularity. I found it hard to say, personally, especially as Konami has a history of being bizarre with its marketing, and Silent Hill as a brand seemed to be waking up to a degree. This however feels quite out of the question for being an official use of the domain, as it’s essentially (if indirectly) shitting on the property and Konami as a whole. So yeah, a fan had nearly 10k burning a hole in their pocket and decided to usurp the big K while they could.
The entire situation is deeply embarrassing for Konami, but also feels par for the course with the company’s trajectory as of late. Oh well, maybe we’ll get a new Stephanie Sterling segment out of it.
I wonder, what would he say about a sexy nigger with "bigger tits". Which one takes precedence for a chink?Lmao :D
https://www.rt.com/pop-culture/547312-tencent-accused-film-rules/In an interview with The Serfs, writer and journalist Alanah Pearce discussed her experiences working in the entertainment industry, and claimed that the Chinese gaming giant Tencent has “a bunch of problematic s**t” and shared some rules the company is rumored to have set out for a film it was funding.
“I have a friend who had a film that was offered to be made by Tencent – or funded by Tencent – and they were like ‘no black people’ and ‘bigger tits’. Like, a lot of rules that they have that I think also have had a hand in, you know, some AAA games,” said Pearce.
‘Fight Club’ has a different ending in China
She followed up by stating she was reluctant about sharing any more specific details in fear of being sued by Tencent and that she only knew rumors, claiming she wasn’t sure if any of it was true. However, she added that Tencent has “games that are out where they were like ‘yeah, that character needs to have bigger tits’ or ‘you need to make her skin lighter’ type of shit.”
Tencent is a Chinese technology and entertainment conglomerate that ranks as one of the most financially valuable companies in the world, providing services such as social networks, music, e-commerce, streaming, payment systems and more.
It’s among the largest venture capital and investment corporations and its gaming division has seen the company become the world’s largest video game vendor after heavily investing in the gaming industry and buying out majority stakes in several big-name studios and publishers such as Riot Games, Supercell and Funcom. Tencent also has stakes in companies like Activision Blizzard, Epic Games and Ubisoft.
The rapid growth of the company has seen Tencent face accusations of monopolistic practices.
There is nothing "unusual" about wanting to see big tatas and no negros, journobitch.
But it is like that. Boring huge open world wasteland with unnecessary crafting and copy-pasted shit as far as the eye can see.
