    Clearly you did not read the article, they aren't saying there is no creativity or that there is a lack of it, they are saying that monopolistic gaming companies are focused on something else and the output of creative games is suffering.

    The US literally invented fascism when you allowed Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan to run rampant and gave the Nazi's their ideas. You live in a fascist country right now, all your politicians are fascist, and the population there lives under totalitarian mind control where you can't even see it. For the love of god travel and leave your bubble and see how bad it is. You have always been fascist too, Manifest Destiny is Lebensraum, Your imperial army goes to other countries like Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and kills literally millions of innocent people and leave power vacuums in the wake of your failures, You regularly invade all the countries of Central America totally disregarding any of our sovereignty whenever convenient and fund massive prison complexes here. Look at the pictures out of El Salvador, how is it that all the "gang members" are only ever indigenous people? This is because after exterminating all yours you are coming for the rest of them. The US is pure evil.

    What country are you from? It could be many.

    I mean, the fact that a business coup started by the US could describe many countries is the problem with the fascist empire.

    Aquí en mi país, vemos a todos los políticos de Estados Unidos como fascistas, desde que vinieron a tumbar al gobierno. Y luego nos llaman república bananera, como si fuera culpa nuestra, ¡si ustedes mismos pusieron a un representante de la United Fruit Company como dictador militar!

    This needs a lot of back story:

    In Jamaica batty boy is derogatory term for gay person. Rude boy means gangster. The song by Boom Bye Bye from Buju Banton has a chorus that goes "boom bye bye inna batty boy head, rude boy no promote no nasty man, dem haffi be dead" and it gets worse from there and describes hunting down gay people and killing them. The dark irony is that this song and all dancehall songs crossed over into world wide mainstream through gay clubs.

    But this was a little too far for people even in the early 90s when the US government was busy passing laws like the Defense of Marriage Act and purposefully mishandling the AIDS crisis. People were like "you can't play songs about murdering gay people and calling for them to all be shot" and this caused a controversy in few countries.

    Anyway Shabba Ranks was at the height of his popularity, he just won a grammy, and was positioned to be bigger than Bob Marley he had an interview on British TV where the hosts asked him about this song and he was like "Yeah, gay people should all be crucified, the bible say they living in sin" and went on to defend Buju Banton and the song and expressing violent homophobia.

    He got fucking cancelled after that way before that was a term. Buju Banton was 15 when he wrote it and was pretty much repeating what other people would commonly say at the time, unfortunately this sentiment wasn't uncommon. After having a few break out hits went to jail for a long time on drug charges and has since apologized for the song, removed it from his catalog, refuses to collect royalty on it and no longer performs it.

    Really weird it is rated "Reliable" when the New York Times wrote and reported on literal fake news weapons of mass destruction in Iraq which manufactured consent for an illegal invasion and overthrow of Iraq and killing literally MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

    On what planet is the newspaper of the establishment of the New York elite, literally wall street, "Left" I don't think they support putting all the corporate board members in prison and establishing workers co-ops and replacing the neoliberal status quo with socialism.
