Well, you could keep adding letters if you really want, or you could just refer to all the sexual minorities as queer, that's sorta what this is about. Personally I actually see T as a very different issue from the others (as it has to do with gender identity, not sexual/romantic preference), but I don't think people…

Or, y'know, people who aren't LGBTA but still not main-stream sexually, like an erotic furry or a sadist. It has nothing to do with being comfortable calling themselves something else, I know plenty of very out of the closet gay people who still refer to themselves as queer from time to time. It just refers to a…

Queer people, one would assume.

LGBTA is the standard I've heard for quite a while (with asexuals being the most recent addition). Queer includes any non-mainstream sexual or gender identity, including kink communities. Queer is not a separate category from LGBTA, it's a category that includes those people but also others, so it wouldn't make sense,…

Queer is not an offensive term in and of itself (intent makes the hate word), but it's considerably broader than just LGBTA. Many members of kink communities (e.g. BDSM) identify as queer despite not being gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual or transgendered. It essentially just means not mainstream in sexual or gender…

Are you referring to Samus? She's not a damsel in distress so she wouldn't really be appropriate for this video. If I understand correctly, there will be other videos discussing other tropes affecting the portrayal of women in video games, so I would expect we'll see her eventually. It should also be pointed out that…

A critical deconstruction of a trope necessarily takes the trope as it's starting point, and as such still qualifies as an example of the trope (and often, for the subversion to be more apparent, they use an archetypal/textbook example of the trope as the starting point). A trope is not in and of itself a horrible…

Well, couldn't they let you just be in charge of setting up cities in all the other regions, so that you're passing resources and upgrades between your own cities? To me this seems like it would be a pretty easy fix for them to design and I'm surprised they haven't decided to release a single player offline mode…

If the server were actually a key part of the simulation, why can you keep playing when you get disconnected until it tries/fails to resync with the server? I'm pretty sure that's a sign that only the save is being stored on the cloud, not the simulation itself.

"The funny part is if EA decided to delay the game for a while in order to make sure the launch is better you guys would then whine about that. " If a company promises to deliver a product on a specific date and cannot complete the project, only two options are available, delay the product until they can complete it,…

Then you would have all the water you need!

It absolutely IS body shaming to tell someone that the current state of their body is not desirable, regardless of whether the current state of their body is natural or not. You can body shame someone about their big fake boobs, there's nothing about the term that requires their body be natural. It's equally…

Yea, that porn stars chin is ridiculous and the AC guy doesn't have anything resembling that.

"Thousands of players across the world are playing and having a good experience." I see she went to the Sergey Titov School of PR.

Yes, they are storing the saves on the cloud while running the entire actual simulation on your computer. It would be very simple to have it save to your drive instead of the cloud, but they want to pretend that the servers are actually running the game even though we can show that that isn't the case so that they can…

At least this announcement wasn't preluded with "soooo many people are enjoying the game though, look at the large numbers of cities they made" like the others.

If you guys have any sort of editor or quality control I fear it may be broking.

Did you buy a digital copy or a physical one? This "no refund" issue only pertains to the digital version.

Well, it's nice that your product wasn't defective, but there are people who bought the game who have yet to be able to play at all. For those people, the product is clearly defective, so they do have the ability to dispute the charge made for a product they have not received a functional version of should EA deny the…
