Sure, sorry was heading to bed when I wrote that last one and forgot all about it. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/life-sim/former-dev-from-sunken-sims-competitor-life-by-you-alleges-the-team-had-the-rug-pulled-from-under-them-despite-outperforming-the-company-s-internal-metrics/ Edit: also, the latest conspiracy is that EA payed off Paradox interactive to pull the project…but that is pretty fringe and far fetched.
Some interesting info coming out from the shuttered dev about this debacle…
Was really hoping this one would help get more competition in the Sims game spot. What EA has done with the sims with the nickle and dime content purchases really turned me off to EA. The game itself was enjoyable.
Spaghetti (most pasta/sauce combos), chili.
Shit off still works I think!
I’ve never had red beans and rice, but that looks like something I would like.
Came here to ask the same question.
Lol yes…yes I do! I didn’t know it was banned because it was played quite a bit on whatever I used to watch. Man I want to say G4 but I’m not sure the time lines work out.
The only thing I can think, is it was marketed to those ‘cool’ parents. “Like, wow man! My kid needs this edgy game!” Even that’s a stretch…
Yeah, I’m not sure who kicked it off but the Nintendo, Sega wars in the 80s kind of started with the quirky ‘edgy’ crap and that carried over into the PS/Xbox era. The Nintendo power mags had some seriously nonsense ads and the tv commercials kind of ran the gambit. A lot of ‘we’re gamers, parents just wouldn’t understand’ type ads. Here’s one that even teen me was like ‘wtf?’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-qBkWerZDg
Yeah I enjoyed OW for a bit. Me and the gf would play mayhem mode when it was up. We stopped playing when they forced the change to OW2 and took some of the skins. I miss ow, but have no desire to play OW2.
Thankfully you can’t even purchase it anymore on Steam… What a debacle.
It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.
What’s wrong with asking for more bread at olive garden? It’s the only thing halfway decent and pretty much a core value of keeping the doors open at that place.
The BBB is a non-profit company that only has as much power and influence as given them by the public. Tell me, do you check the BBB often to decide on how you spend your money? No one else does either! The BBB is about as toothless as they come. FCC like you said…nothing to do with this. FDA would be who you would contact if the product required recall such as was ‘adulterated’ and made you sick. Or I guess if you could prove the company didn’t follow FDA GMP’s. I guess if you want to try to tattle you could find out what quality and food safety schemes they follow. This is ‘sometimes’ proudly displayed on their website. You are looking for SQF, AIB, BRC as those are the big 3 GFSI schemes right now. Lol I am giving you waaay too much info probably. Anyway…there isn’t a manager you can ask to speak to on this one. It’s report it to them, or possibly their certifying GFSI body (which will probably get you nowhere).
Headline could reach “Wealthy person found loopholes and illegal ways to keep more of their money.” I mean, if you’re gonna eat the Candy Korn, EAT EM ALL :)
Quality hasn’t printed out complaint reports since the 90s in most places. But, yeah about the same impact by the end of the day…or quarter.
Should be pretty easy to find on their packaging or website, as it looks like someone else here pointed out :) Also, we can’t tell what the hell it is so not sure how you could think we could tell ya… :)
They keep a record of complaints as part of their CAPA. Any food related issues should always be reported, helps quality dept.s push for more funding.
It’s exactly what I would expect from EA. They haven’t got a cent from me in years.
