FIFA, “Great! But do you think we are paying the children too much to make our merch?”
Ethics Committee: "What? You're paying them? Ugh. We need to have a talk."

Are you sure this isn't a scene from a porno?
"Dad's laughing, but I'm pretty sure this thing costs way more than a Nintendo Switch. Now where can I sell it...?"
Well, either modern matchmaking algorithms are absolute dogshit at doing this, or there just aren't enough low-skill players out there to be matched with. Because if you're just a casual player, you won't be losing 50% of games, you'll be losing 100% of games. Even at the lowest of the lowest tiers, you'll still be losing quickly and often if you don't put sweat into it.
I suspect it's because games are driving away casual players like this that they don't have enough for matchmaking. Every player at the casual tier either quickly gives up in frustration and leaves, or stays and becomes a sweatlord themselves, continually leaving the casual tier mostly empty, which forces casual players to be matched up with higher-tier players just to find a match at all.
And that's not even getting into 'smurfing' and cheating/hacking.
Now some players are level 2000+, rarely team work and I‘m dying when I spawn.
Every competitive multiplayer game in the world is ruined by sweat these days. You have to dedicate your entire life to the game just to not die immediately. Oh, you don't have every map completely memorized, including all spawn and bonus locations? To a point where you could play it blindfolded in single player? Filthy casual.
He's going to use it for political influence to further his fucked-up Nazi ideals.
And, of course, get more money. It's never enough with these fuckers. They have a version of hoarding disorder. It's always on to the next grift, more money, more money, more money, more money, number must go up!
Until he's the only free person in the world and absolutely everyone else is either dead or a slave owned by him, he's not done.
If only such power could be used for good...
That's fucking hilarious.
The reason nobody can beat Batman with prep time: one of his prep time options is switching places with Superman.
True. But that's unavoidable ... assuming you're dead set on having datacenters. Datacenters are always going to produce heat, and that heat has to go somewhere.
In the days of AI slopware, you'll be lucky if you get 50% of the quality. And it's 130% of the price now, "because inflation".
Great. And now a few years later, Earth is being invaded by highly advanced mutant cockroaches from Mars.
And, in that role, they're probably actually quite busy. It must be very burdensome to continually come up with excuses and ways to justify FIFA's behavior.
