  • Bitcoin is Stupid and Does Not Deserve an Emoji (blog post)

  • It probably falls under faulty comparison:

    Their guidelines change, and it’s possible these emoji were added with old guidelines. They can’t remove old emoji, which means specific buildings like Tokyo Tower🗼is an emoji, even if they prohibit the addition of specific buildings nowadays.

    The Tokyo Tower🗼(a specific building) does not justify adding the Eiffel Tower.

    Many historical emoji violate current factors for inclusion. Once an emoji is encoded it cannot be removed from the Unicode Standard.

    It was added when Unicode Consortium had different guidelines. They don’t accept specific buildings anymore.

    Under automatically declined:

    Specific buildings, structures, landmarks, or other locations, whether fictional, historic, or modern.

  • The Bitcoin logo is the brand. Corporations like exchanges use this brand to market their services.

  • We also need a McDonald’s emoji, Pepsi emoji, Windows emoji and Mastercard emoji. These are also brands that are heavily ingrained in our culture. Probably even more so than Bitcoin.

    Or we accept that brands like Bitcoin shouldn’t use emoji as a marketing tool.

  • They were one of the loudest proponents of "games as a service" back in the day.

    Among the old PS3 conferences there’s this one where Portal 2 is announced for PS3. While everybody else tried to make 3D TV gaming and motion controls the next big thing, Gabe just enters the stage and describes how they believe games as a service is the future.

    They were so far ahead. Everybody struggled to figure out what the next big thing is going to be. Valve had already figured it out.

  • The 4chan poster seems to be more angry about content appearing in concept art books, but is inaccessible in the final game, which is even more unhinged.

  • Jonathan Blow has been more interested in marketing his niche programming language than his games, so maybe that’s why.
