Current Events > Warner Bros. attempts to profit from death of employee, says TotalBiscuit

(+) Yeah! (+)

Really emotionally charged videos by TB.

In a sense I disagree with him in that the whole concept is disgusting to me and not just this final act.

If WB wants to support the family of one of their employees I have no clue why they're trying to make all their consumers do it instead of taking .5 or 1% of their own profits for it, but overall, this is indeed just absolute gross behavior.

And TotalBiscuit in turn, seeks to profit from airing this theory. The video is monetized, I assume?

He says in the vid that he's donating all profits from it to charity.

WB should pay the family his salary for however long the online remains active and just not bother donating per sale of the dlc.

What's the tldr?

What's the tldr?

not 100% of the sales are being donated, only $3.50 out of $5.00

Out of the US, several states get nothing donated.

No international sales get anything donated.

They are telling people world wide "buy this DLC to donate to the family" and then not donating, essentially.

What's the tldr?

Producer or something on Shadow of War dies from cancer before release.
Team makes DLC featuring character based off him to sell for 5 dollars at launch day
3.50 dollars of selling price goes to family of said cancer victim
WB discloses only in vague language and small text hidden away as far as possible that several US states and all areas outside the US are exempt and that purchases made in those regions 100% go to fuel WB's bankroll.

I retract my statement. Good on him

Yeah, talk shit about TB all you like, god knows he deserves some of it, but he's got a strict ethical code about Youtube.

I don't know. I think others have done worse.

assuming that WB aren't being repulsive scumbags... again... and there is some legal issue holding them back from implementing this US and worldwide

how?
why can't WB just take the profits from their sales and give it to the family? after they made the sale, its their money and they can do what they want with it
