He did recently mention that you can’t do political ads on YouTube, but he was rather more perturbed at the idea of navigating through the legal and financial system of EU, owing to his own personal troubles with them.

He might have changed his mind based on new info, idk. But he clearly doesn’t want to get involved anymore than he needs to because it’s very taxing.

I think the main reason he didn’t want to take money was because he himself doesn’t think can handle such a campaign or lacks the will to do so.

Dunno, seems like a global problem. European car companies are scared too. And they don’t make those big cars.

The only issue I see is that china is very hostile with how it deals with other countries, otherwise this is just the trend of how things work out. In the 80s, it was the japanese car industry.

Even if they changed how would they win?

They’re just too expensive to manufacture as compared to chinese ones.

Reality = immigrants bad because corporate daddy decided they’re the best scapegoats for all the shit they promulgate.

And I accept that reality because it fits my idea of how I look at any one that’s even slightly different and “lesser” than me.

I much rather be the only one well off. Because reality means only helping those who have the same skin color as me. Everyone else can go die.

Yeah, but as far as I can tell there’s hasn’t been malware in fitgirl repacks. So, I suppose I am outsourcing my vetting to them.

It’s really a question of how much effort I want to put in finding a different source that’s not dangerous. The extra time it takes to unpack them is okay then.

GOG games is fine as well, but they don’t have everything and direct downloads aren’t always stable for me.

I trust fitgirl repacks from the official sources.

Direct downloads and other sources need to be vetted.

The initiative’s issue isn’t with them being online-only (though personally people hate it). The initiative aims for games to have the ability to have a reasonable state of playability past the end of life.

This is for all kinds of games - single-player, multiple player, live service, only only. The point is to keep what you paid for.

What do you mean?

Changing the design happens during the pre-production. This will not effect any games retroactively. As unfortunate as it is, until the EU parliament decides on a law or regulation all games destined to die will die.

Any games that are grandfathered in, would be done so by the good will of the corporations if they do wish to.

Scrumptious?

They have a management problem. Roberts has had a history with badly managing projects especially where his uberambition is unchecked.

They could’ve entirely and easily avoided the forever beta tag if they had released the single player early on (even if it wasn’t perfect), like they had promised and then continued to work on the persistent universe.

This is very inefficient, they should be using a switch case.

How’s the sequel? The OG was a unique in its horror. Though I can’t say much for it’s characters I quite enjoyed the vibes.

A Lil bit of column A and a little bit of column B.

But spreading misinformation on it definitely did hurt it.

“stop stabbing me”

“Oh, you are very adversarial! How dare you ask me to stop stabbing you? This is how I make my money!”

Hell, even a lot of PUBLISHERS would rather keep their games running forever.

This is such a shit take that publishers want games running forever. The whole reason they get shut down is because they don’t make a profit and if something that’s not earning them money might as well be something that’s going to take gamers away from their new game. So they’ll of course shut it down. It’s in their incentive.

Your arguments seem very disingenuous.

Yeah, personally a huge fan of the game, but if you think spec ops the line is the last best game, then you really haven’t played that many good games since.

There’s also such a thing as subjective tastes and I believe that it’s more so significant in games because of how diverse they are.

Signal is a much better choice and its basically a whatsapp clone.
