>Mere hours after the worst shooting in the history of the United States, video game publisher Electronic Arts hosted a press conference in downtown Los Angeles. For the leadership taking the stage, it may have been any other day.
>Perhaps EA executives thought it would be hypocritical to comment on a real-life shooting before promoting a first-person shooter. The early portion of the event focused on Titanfall 2, a sci-fi action game in which giant machines and realistic humans kill each other with hyper-detailed guns. Co-founder of developer of Respawn Vince Zampella cued a montage of multiplayer gameplay, and the crowd at the Novo theater erupted into cheers. More than 400,000 people were watching online.
>A precedent exists for delaying video games and their promotion in response to tragedies. In March 2011, Sony pulled Motorstorm: Apocalypse following Japan’s earthquake. "We are shocked and saddened to see the impact of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan," read a statement to Eurogamer, "and our thoughts are with all those affected, including our colleagues within the Sony family, living and working throughout Japan." Of course, deadly earthquakes are much rarer than mass shootings in the United States.

Don't cut yourself now.
Adam Campbell
Wow, makes you think...
Because this happened specifically because of the rise of conservatism in modern America. We're never going to recover from this unless we embrace diversity.
Oliver Torres
The guy who murdered those people was an homophobic islamic terrorist, not some call of duty fanboy
Lincoln Jackson
Fags died who cares.
Christopher Phillips
How is this video games
Eli Hill
This article is just flat out disgusting. The nastiest form of clickbait. EA prepared their conference months ago and this dude wrote this slimy shit after the shooting.
Nicholas Reed
so did every single mcdonalds close down and stop selling burgers for the entire day? Did every single hospital close and stop admitting or treating patients in lieu of the tragedy? Did your fucking dog groomer stop mid-dog grooming to go post a statement online about how shocked they were about the tragedy?
Adrian Gutierrez
Did EA had a game about killing fags? Sign me right the fuck up!
Ethan King
>Posting clickbait gawker kotaku level bullshit
Parker Lewis
This is the most clickbaity clickbait I've seen since "How to kill gamers".
William Jenkins
If the guy killed all those people because of Islam, then ironically enough this happened because we weren't conservative enough.
Cameron Edwards
>We're never going to recover from this unless we embrace diversity.
ISIS please save us.
Luke Taylor
Wow, I just learned the word clickbait thanks senpai
Joseph Morales
It's too bad you guys didn't die instead.
Matthew Smith
possibly he was both
Jace Ross
Sure, it is too bad. If it was us nobody would care and the world would just move on. Now we have everyone moaning about the dead fags, and the gays are just gonna fag even harder
Lucas Jones
>humans dying in every corner of the earth literally every second >only care when it happens to some gays in your country/state/local area >other people are insensitive/the problem/etc
Care about all of it or care about none of it libcucks, your transparent vies for attention are shameful.
Dull that edge son, you're not allowed knives in school
Mason Baker
There are some deaths that we have greater power to prevent
Easton Butler
E3 was scripted out and planned months ago. Inertia alone would make it impossible to stop.
Ryan Price
I agree, we should ban islam to save the innocent.
Samuel Nguyen
>the worst shooting in the history of the United States
Julian Myers
Dear Sup Forums,
Islam literally is a measurably worse moral system of beliefs than those exhibited by the KKK.
Sincerely, Sup Forums
Chase Campbell
i wouldn't expect them to postpone their showings but i was surprised they didn't acknowledge the shooting at all. being the first public stream of e3, i thought it was kind of tacky to pretend like nothing had happened at all. bethesda's ribbons are a nice touch, imo. you don't have to do a lot to show solidarity in the wake of national tragedy, especially a national tragedy targeted at specific minority groups
Colton Howard
It would have been even tackier to make some kneejerk reaction to this. "Oh our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the victims. Now buy Mt. Dew!"
Levi Torres
someone will case this edgy inevitably but it's a good point whether you intended it. shootings happen every single day but they're always eclipsed by mass shooters even though death totals by single murder incidents are much higher than the combined murders of mass shooters. because these single murders don\'t have the "benefit" of being these huge scandalous events, no one is even interested in them.
Christopher Jenkins
they're correct. the pulse club shooting is the worst mass shooting the US has probably ever seen by a large margin
Liam Perry
so we need to deport all non whites and non asians from majority white countries.
Hunter Morgan
I know it already, but thanks all the same.
Brandon Cooper
Probably just counting specifics, like "shootings with a gun by a single individual outside of wartime". Aside from that, it's just fag propaganda.
Evan Davis
Wounded Knee.
Ryan Hall
i don't agree with that. at a time when people are still in shock and many people don't even know if their friends or family members who may have been at the club are alive, acknowledging such a tragedy before resuming with business at least shows you care. to not do so can send the message that you don't
Sebastian Price
You have been spaming this shit for four hours. Fuck you, now I remember why I don't come to Sup Forums a lot.
Luis Turner
Hello. Before you were born, things called wars happened. People met up in fields for partys with guns. Deathtolls in the range of 50 would've been considered minor.
Camden Moore
No one counts wartime shootings in mass shootings you Republitard bottom feeder
Angel Morris
sort of a different case in that that was a military action, although that's not at all to say what happened then wasn't a tragedy either
Blake Smith
>Mass shootings
My only quarrel is you use this term to encompass all shootings. Given the fact it's a media buzz phrase which they use to blanket fire arm violence.
Two niggers shooting it out in detroit is not a mass shooting, a group of spics beating each other up over some gang related shit until one of them pulls a gun and opens fire hitting almost nothing is not a mass shooting.
Yes this shit happens EVERY SINGLE DAY but not ever act of violence used with a gun is a mass shooting. Media has printed this into your brain to think this way but it is not and this is how we get those fucked up statistics about school shootings that are actually not school shootings at all.
Evan Rogers
Look at the way Mad Catz tried to show solidarity with France and instead showed they're massively insensitive cunts. Unless you can do it properly it's best to not make the situation worse. Don't go trying to score brownies points with false sympathy.
Levi Diaz
you're a fucking idiot
Colton Hughes
a targeted shooting spree with 103 casualties and 50 dead on US is not an every day occurrence, it's a massacre
Jacob Martin
You're comparing niggers shooting each other over crack deals, and someone using a gun to shoot innocent people en masse, much less to instill fear for a religious state.
It's not the same thing, retard.
Landon Green
I don't even think you read my post properly, I was saying mass shootings don't happen often enough to warrant the attention that they get in comparison to single victim shootings (which, if I were to interpret that pattern, is probably because we're prohibited from expressing discontent towards violence committed by minorities who engage in the type of behaviour you outlined).
Ayden Ross
Oh my fucking God, I really hope your stupid whore mother get cancer and then you fucking die

Notepad Open with admin privileges.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc This is where your Hosts file is located. Open "hosts" (does not have an extension) with Notepad. If you utilize Spybot - Search & Destroy, you will see a very long list of unsafe domains already entered here. For your convenience, enter the following lines in at the top:
gist.github.com/ChimeraCoder/7495794 Spacing DOES matter in your host file, so ensure it looks like the example that is already in there. Some similar, clickbait-modelled sites to consider adding:
Save the file. The "Save As" dialog box will appear. Save this as "hosts_new".
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc 1) Back in your \etc\ folder, rename your previous "hosts" file to "hosts_backup". 2) Rename the newly created file, "hosts_new.txt" to "hosts"
Congrats, no more accidentally giving pennies and view counts. Chances are, this post will be replied to by a "journalist" from one of Gawker's sites. If unsure, please do your own research.
Caleb Morales
because they don't care and neither does anyone posting about this shit online
Logan Williams
So you're saying that much worse shootings don't deserve more time or attention?
Andrew Thompson
If there were like 2 billion kkk members the world would be a worse place
Evan Sullivan
agreed.
if we allowed more muslim immigration this could have been avoided. the club in question was predominantly white and homosexual, followed by hispanics. but if the club had been equally proportional to reflect ALL cultures and ethnicities we wouldn't have had this.
people are fucking dying all because republicans dont want to accept diversity. it's gross
Chase Torres
The first one causes more overall damage, retard. if you got rid of criminals niggers the murder rate would plummet more than if you somehow found a way top get rid of mass shooters. "crack deals" are not the only things niggers kill over, many innocent white people are killed by them. Think with a larger perspective rather than being wrapped up in the mass media scandal parade like an emotionally manipulated little faggot.

Christopher Murphy
no, because the victims are less numerous in the long run. you can't just bury or ignore news stories of "lesser" crimes, it's selective empathy
Jacob King
maybe if the gaming industry glorified violence enough they'd militarize western civilization so that it can keep down insurrections by the scrappy upstarts over in the middle east
peace flows from successful wars after all
all in all who gives a shit
Nolan Powell
Not an argument.
Niggers in general are damaging to society. Their chimp outs, often taking place between individuals within their own communities, is still not comparable to literal terrorism. They are defined differently for a reason.
Now go present your shithole someplace else. Faggot.
