  • If people don’t watch, then there’s fundamentally no money to be given to the players. If you want money to be given to the player, you need to watch.

    That’s how it works for women’s sports, and that’s how it works for men’s sports as well.

    Pay for all athletes is dictated by the viewership they bring in, not their performance. WNBA players actually make disproportionately more relative to viewership.

    You honestly talk like someone who’s never watched a sport in their life.

    tbf, Caitlin Clark is the only WNBA player that’s profitable, and she’s kinda limited salary wise by the fact that the women’s league in general is not profitable and heavily subsidised by the NBA.

    People will bitch about how the men’s league gets paid so much in comparison, then proceed to not watch the women’s league…

    If you want it to make money YOU need to support it 🫵








  • we think you’d be best with a bigger team with a better support network

    Probably dodged a bullet anyway since there’s only 3 technicians and they’re putting a lot of responsibility for the shit payment they’re handing out.

    That really seems to answer the question, and I don’t think you need to assume any discrimination from them.

    They’re a small team, they need someone to come in and hit the ground running. They feel like you’d need training/support despite your technical knowledge.

    Don’t get hung up on job rejections, just move onto the next. It’s a numbers game.

    Have you previously annoyed them in some way, or had a disagreement?

    Were they in the middle of a proper conversation and might’ve felt like you butted in with a greeting?

    It sounds odd. I’d have a think about whether you’ve previously annoyed them in some way, but if not then they might just be grumpy. In which case there’s nothing to worry about, and you just do you.

    You’re comparing cash grabs to what used to be flagship AAA games.

    AC has been a shit show for a while now, the Batman games used to be incredible but the latest are cash grabs.

    As you said, graphics have never been a priority for Bethesda games either, they just struggle to get anything to run well.

    I don’t think it’s fair to say graphics are getting worse based off those comparisons. You should look at the top games like FFVII Rebirth, Alan Wake 2 etc. which look incredible.

    But to give some credit to your point, people don’t upgrade their machines like they used to and the current gen of consoles has been out for a while as well. So the hardware is a bit stagnant which may be having a knock on effect to the graphics of games as well.
