Probably a lot of pressure to win now. 2nd highest payroll in the league. Roll the dice.

Rebuilding. Again.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
Neither of your responses are negating any of my points. Imagine believing the owner of a company makes or even vets all decisions. I don’t even understand your second response. There’s no morality in capitalism. Doubly so for a passive investment.
Shame anyone you want for their hypocrisy. Just don’t believe for a second that sports players somehow have a higher, let alone equivocal, morality than the layman. But, as stated in a comment below much better than I’ve been able to articulate, investments aren’t moral for anyone. Rich, sports players aren’t on some pedestal.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
That seems kind of silly then. The entertainment industry has been rife with immorality forever. Sports players are literally selling their bodies to the highest bidder. It honestly makes sense a player would employ a company/person to get every dollar possible. NBA in particular is selling itself to the gambling industry. They aren’t exactly creating a moral refuge.
The idea of investing morally is minority concept and is honestly at odds with the whole modern capitalist idea of investment.
- Comment on NBA star Stephen Curry faces backlash over investments in ‘Israeli’ firms 2 weeks ago:
The amount of people that have gotten rich from sports is infinitesimally small compared to the total of rich people that exist. Yes, Playing sports well doesn’t equate to being morally wrong or right. I’m gonna assume the question wasn’t directed at that tiny group of people.
I will add that, in the vast majority of cases, people don’t invest money morally.

Nintendo did it and their fans still spent like crazy. Gamers have themselves to blame for this. Well that and the ever present corporate greed.

- Comment on Stellar Blade's devs would like you to know you don't need a PSN account on PC as they work on the region lock problem 8 months ago:
“DRM has been hard tuned to maintain the same average frame rate, with even higher minimum frames in some cases”
What does that even mean for a PC game?
