Greed could encompass most of the 7 sins.
Lust - Greed for sex
Sloth - Greed for relaxation
Gluttony - Greed for food
Envy - Greed of others stuff
The only two that don't really fit under greed is pride and wrath
Pride - Greed for attention
Wrath - Greed for violence
Pride could work but wrath is a stretch
Wrath - Greed for control
I was gonna put pride in there as greed for power but pride comes in many forms.
As for wrath I don't see it as a greedy thing it's something that is provoked. Evoked I should say.

Greed, the character from FMAB, has an interesting take on this concept. He extends the concept to call the idea of the heroes winning completely (i.e. they get their bodies back, defeat the bad guys, no one dies) to be a form of greed, and the idea of greed is independent of morality.
You could call this unhelpful broadening of the concept of greed, but I think it's an interesting reframing of something people usually think of very negatively.

This is actually pretty accurate.
Yeah, I'm surprised how much it fits
There should be a memorial for victims of EA (all the studios they have acquired and then shut down), similarly to the Victims of Communism memorial.
Why does so much of the text look so AI-smudged
Probably the AI-smudging

I get all of these but lust for blizzard, anybody care to explain it to me?
Maybe because their Overwatch models are used heavily in porn.
So THAT'S why it's always so high-quality.
Nonsense. The porn has way better quality models than the game.
Or so I heard. I don't play Overwatch.
Overwatch is an amazing porn series that has an incredibly shitty game based on it.

Why is the Nintendo logo AI generated?
It’s not AI generated, it’s AI upscaled because the original was very low resolution and I was to lazy to remake the meme

Maybe to avoid copyright claims
Probably so they have a defense when Nintendo sends a cease and desist order for using their logo.
They probably are already dead

This was obviously made by a Sony fan boy
What's the connection between Blizzard and Lust?
A "boys club" scandal a couple years ago where the male higher-ups only hired women who would tolerate being sexually abused. Some ex-employees described it as "company culture" that propagated for a decade or more. There was an investigation after some women spoke out that led to a lawsuit, several top level managers being fired, and a couple CEOs being scrutinized really hard.
All of this is off the top of my head and maybe somewhat inaccurate, but that's the gist of it.
Multiple sexual harassment claims and lawsuits, including incidents of stolen breast milk.
- Alleged cubicle crawls where drunk employees go cubicle to cubicle harassing females.
- Multiple C suites resigning due to personal indiscretions.
- A "Cosby" suite
- Suicide due to extreme harassment
- Multiple allegations of breast milk missing from office fridges.
You can't make this shit up.

did you ai generate every single one of those logos
It’s not AI generated, it’s AI upscaled because the original was very low resolution and I was to lazy to remake the meme
can anybody explain the konami part to me? I am out of the loop.
Konami published a lot of games that had potential but they didn't really take them anywhere.

Sloth should be Bethesda.
Alright, I normally show up to these to be the voice of reason and moderation...
...but no, this one kinda tracks, actually. Carry on.
Slutty slutty Blizzard
Why does everything in the picture look blurry?
You have to disable motion blur.
It was AI upscaled, the original version looks like this:
AI upscaling made it sharper, but overall worse. Entertainment under Blizzard is completely unreadable in the upscale.
Most of the time it's better to just remake the meme, upscaling (by any means) usually makes it worse and lazy

You know, I remember there being a video about this. Like a long format video essay in which nintendo was the last videogame company to be mentioned and the sin was pride.
I don't remember who made the video, but I think it was super eyepatch wolf or another youtuber with a similar style. I tried looking for the video but I couldn't find it. It was really good.
I remember EA was greed, Valve was Sloth. And l think Bethesda was lust(? (Because of constant harrassment allegations in their offices or something like that), but the narrator kept reminding the audience that all game companies were all guilty of the same sins.
T'was really interesting
