What certifications does she have in a STEM field? I ask because her collegiate major was fucking business, and I don't think she has any fucking certifications. If she does, more power to her, but if she doesn't, that information is going in the fucking wiki.

Didn't she at one point claim something like a master's degree? I distinctly remember a tweet where she implied as much but I can't seem to find it again (because, as said before, going through Brianna's Twitter history is a nightmare).

She claims she has a degree in investigative journalism.

Anyone wanting to dig around and find the veracity of that claim, let the farms know what you find.

And yet that tweet I was referring to was her talking about STEM fields. Again. So that's, like, the third different degree she has claimed to have (business, journalism, something STEM related). The only thing consistent about Brianna's account on her education background is that it changes depending on the situation.

Typically, you can't just get a master's degree in a STEM field if you didn't get an undergrad degree in one. If she's claiming that, it's probably because she has zero knowledge of it and is assuming it works like law school or something.

That wouldn't be surprising given that she's demonstrated zero knowledge in any STEM field thus far.

This isn't exactly true. My undergrad was in Political Science and I did a year of grad school in Microbiology. Granted I did take a lot of bio courses at the undergrad level, personally I think a better indication that Bri never graduated with a STEM degree is her atrocious grasp on how statistics are supposed to work.

You might have cut your dick off, John but don't forget that you're still white. Your SJW crying doesn't mean you are excused.

Well, in your case you only started because your wealthy parents gave you a massive cash boost, which you have squandered on a game no one except us and your cronies give a shit about. You didn't win at all.

Does anyone think LWu will ever stop patting herself on the back for every single minuscule achievement? And if those are actual screen shots from her new game, it looks like something out of the 90s. Step up, Wu!

Yes.

And the bulk of that market comprises casuals and mobile gamers who predominantly play smaller games.

MEANWHILE:

This is Revolution 60. It's been downloaded over 150K times, about half of which since it became free.

Hatred, in contrast, has sold over 45,000 copies at $20 each, and that's just going by active player statistics.

As someone who actually is her target audience (fairly casual female gamer who likes RPGs), I wouldn't touch Rev60. There's no character customization and the art is shit, two of my main criteria. Plus, I don't own any Apple products. I know I'm just one person, but Wu likes to act like her (fake) vagina gives her some kind of insight into the target audience's mind, which is what pisses me off the most about her.

Technically she's right, but most of them are playing Happy Birds and Splatoon. The hardcore market is still very male.

Not just hardcore, but those who will spend money. Lots of money. And will buy game after game.

It's like, imagine you sold pencils, and one person would buy crates and crates of pencils, and pencil accessories and would champion how great your pencils are and tell everyone to buy them. He'd spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on your pencils over his lifetime.

And then you had tons of people who'd only buy one pencil, maybe two over their entire lives. Mostly they just want free pencils. And combined they might by oh... seventy thousand pencils. Ever.

Who the fuck would you market to? The small amount of people you have to convince for millions of dollars of revenue. Or the massive crowd who really doesn't give a shit?

Do you remember how much Rev60 cost when it first came out?

I have to wonder how many of the 150K buyers of Rev60 actually played it to completion. I get the feeling it was the kind of thing people bought just to support her and not because they actually wanted to play it.

Hatred is banned in Australia so I can't play it ;_;
My inability to play violet videogames is making me want to go on a shooting spree.

Her fucking console warrior mentality regarding IOS is pretty much a dead-on-example of why the idiots screaming that Mobile was going to be the death of handhelds are fucking dumb. And I can almost guarantee that Wu was among those saying that Mobile was the future. For the moment we're going to ignore that Handhelds have a fucking godly market share and always have, and instead focus on Wu's favorite platform in particular.

The games that are dominating Mobile had the common sense to go multiplatform (Angry Birds and Temple Run for examples) and don't really have an ability to compete with a dedicated handheld for actual content. The ones that do (Square's better IOS games for example) are in a market where few people actually buy the dicking things because you don't buy a fucking iDevice specifically to game, you buy it to listen to MP3s/be a fucking phone/etc.

$400,000.

Also, there's ways around the Aus ban! All you need to do is get a friend from outside your region to get you a DL Code from literally anywhere the fuck else. That's what Yahtzee did, IIRC.
