  • First point in favor:

    I actually think Rockstar is one of the true AAA studios that can justify this kind of pricing, they have such a huge dev team for rockstar flagships and on top of that the quality is unmatched throughout the gaming industry.

    We are not talking about Bethesda here, RDR2 was basically a masterpiece.

    Counterpoint: they also make more than enough money from GTA online to subsidize the base game cost. They will make many many times over what they spent on game dev and marketing with their online pricing model. So it’s just a further money grab really.












  • The company fucked up by not updating their equipment, even though they knew it was outdated and dangerous

    “The North Sea Divers Alliance, formed by early North Sea divers and the relatives of those killed, continued to press for further investigation and, in February 2008, obtained a report that indicated the real cause was faulty equipment. Clare Lucas, daughter of Roy Lucas, said: “I would go so far as to say that the Norwegian Government murdered my father because they knew that they were diving with an unsafe decompression chamber.”[11] The families of the divers eventually received compensation for the damages from the Norwegian government, 26 years after the incident.[12]



  • Average human lifespans 75 Average orca lifespan say 35

    75 / 35 is 2.21

    Assuming that math is equivalent to dog years

    A human year would be 2.2 years to each orca year

    So if we decide that same thing works for distance?

    That would be like 451.1 miles for a human to carry their dead offspring?

    But I find it would be more approximate to use body size as the modifier for perceived distance?

    So let’s take the average height of 5.5 feet for an adult human woman

    Dirty google search of about 20 feet averages length of adult female orca

    So 20/5.5 gives us 3.63 orca to 1 human foot

    Making the answer about:

    275.48 orca miles (sizes based) Or 451.1 orca miles (lifespan based)
