These help normalize Pepsi not coughing up that Harriet jet.

Didn't they get forced to eventually? Or am I misremembering?

The what? 🤨

Call me old-fashioned, but that sounds like it might be slightly outside of the areas of expertise of a company that makes and/or sells vidya games 😄

If their zombie survival shelters are anything like the ones in the game I would have no faith anyone would survive a single night in a zombie apocalypse.

They got the in game moves from experienced practitioners with which an agreement would have been made. So it's not the Vidya games company that would have provided the parkour services, just one of their partners.

As for the custom zombie shelters, they were/are a thing that could be bought and/or built at some point.

Ok, that's fair on the expertise front.

Still, I'm pretty sure the lessons can be had for a better price and a zombie shelter doesn't really help much when you still need to go to a workplace with Republicans 5-7 days a week 🤷

[–] lath@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Not sure about the lessons cost, but I think they were bundled and the shelter hogged most of the price. Also, Republicans make the best zombies so it would be like a dream come true for any purchaser.

For that kind of profit margin, anybody would happily become an expert

not even elon? would have loved to see him smashing his face into some concrete.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 25 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

He'd have to send a body double though. It's a bit more difficult than paying kids to do his gaming.

i'm sure he is perfectly capable of falling down a staircase or smth. ;)
