I like to laugh at him as much as the next guy, but Will Smith has nothing to do with this game. He was merely a paid actor in it. Tencent failed to nake a good game and to market it properly. Nobody was going to read the article about the shit game anyway so they lead with Will "get that outta yo mouth" smith.

When Cyberpunk initially failed did you see headlines like: Keanu Reeves game flops? No because that would be stupid.

Excellent take. Well said. Thanks for sharing!

I mean…the will smith name doesn’t exactly carry with it a lot of support these days.

IDK, the original singer for Artifical Brain is called Will Smtih, and another Will Smith has got a few podcasts he does well in.

Ahhh. Kotaku. Yeah, I'll give that big ole clickbait bullshit article a miss.

Will Smith has an Oscar?!?

He literally was awarded it the same night he slapped Chris Rock. AFTER the slap. Insane.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean they didn't wanna get slapped.

The marketing wasn't in-your-face enough, I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Givem this is the very first I've heard of it...

Good, fuck that guy, he's a piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It is easy to judge people not knowing through what they are going right now.

Life fucks us all!

In my view, he is struggling mentally and probably this stupid joke was the last drop. And I feel sorry for him. I am also currently going through some rough time and this completely changed what kind of a person I am and in a way I can relate with Will. I hope he gets better soon and finds inner peace.

Perhaps slappy needs to start slapping.
