On Being Fair (Gaming)

This is not the 'first whiff" of wrongdoing.


The story just broke, Cody. Coincidentally (or maybe not) just as they are releasing a game.


It broke in January dude.

Mea culpa. Didn't notice the date.

Public shaming is out of control in this new age of Puritanism,


What is puritan about not wanting the co-ceo forcing himself upon employees at company events?

Nothing, no decent person would approve of that behavior IF IT HAPPENED. I'm talking about the impulse to immediately burn people at the stake for being accused of impropriety. When I say "new age of Puritanism," I'm speaking to a larger issue. The puritanical mindset relishes in finding and punishing evildoers, and presuming any modicum of innocence just gets in the way of the fun--the demonizing of others and the demonstration of your own relative goodness.
