The FF14 billboard drama was that it had modded content on the billboard which players tend to be hush-hush about including unreleased datamined upcoming clothing. The Discord advertised on the billboard had a public NSFW channel filled with screenshots of people using sex mods. There were very recent warnings about disseminating datamined content, and they put it on a billboard with their ingame address on it.
No one has been banned yet and Square Enix has yet to take any actual action on it the screenshots floating around of bans were actually from an older unrelated incident, though people assume they will get banned. It is players primarily laughing/yelling at them for the combo of copyright weirdness and for them showing off mods in a way that may cause backlash for other modders.
Square Enix does not currently act on modders unless they are being very blatant about it and talk about it in-game, so putting them on a billboard caused fears it may result in a crackdown for everyone else.
Excited that you guys are going weekly! Jeff's reactions are incredible. Little detours between Jojo's parts seems like a cool idea too, especially since it kinda gives the fledgling anime expert more context on common tropes and just how wild the medium gets.
People making noise in movie theaters usually drives me insane but seeing DBZ dorks all screaming when Goku does a good punch on a big screen is like watching wrestling in the best way
As a quick neat note, Black Desert Online made enough money that the developers were able to acquire the CCP Games, creators of Eve Online, as a publisher. I'd imagine the mobile game in particular rakes in money through all the freemium. The game grossed $1.7 billion worldwide as of last year. This gives me some hope for Doke-V actually coming together! :)
