So much this.
So much this.
Stuck:
Welcome to the problems of being raised in Beta culture.
The Nice Guy schtick that you're pulling for - and the fact that you fell for the wiles hook, line, and sinker, provided your labor to offspring that wasn't yours, and supported the return, room, and board of a competing suitor, tells me you tend to let her…
No, that game is single-handedly responsible for most of the ambiguous fuckery that's come since; you want a good trailer? Here you go:
That's a false analogy - you have a choice to not own a car.
The only choice I'd have to not buy insurance with that mandate you're mentioning is suicide.
Oh, yeah, that's totally a reason to stoke panic and paint with broad strokes and condemn people to years in prison, plus totally disregard their presumption of innocence.
Remind me to never hire you as a lawyer and be in contempt of court if you're ever a Judge in any case I'm involved in, ever.
"regular player's experiences"
... Luke, I have to post this now.

You mean, your muckraking.
If he wanted to make characters sexually attractive, that's not inherently sexist.
But hey, I know reason falls on deaf ears, here...
And yet, I still don't have an Android version.
You're the dumbass.
I used taxes as an example, but in any situation where you demand that someone spend money on your behalf, you inherently ask for their input.
Dismissed.
As one who did, it wasn't as bad as you'd think; that sort of art style was prevalent, and back then, even considered 'futuristic'.
Plus, it wasn't as shameful to go all Heavy Metal with your art because it was still "cool" [it still is to me]. The box art was intended to give you an idea what the game was about, not…
I think the hullabaloo is mostly because it's a pretty obvious attempt to pander, Wiseman.
Valkyrie already exists. They could have given her [Brynhldr] the Hammer temporarily and brought attention to an oft-overlooked awesome female superhero - but no, no, they had to slaughter a Sacred Cow on international media.....
My output is mine. Taxation is the claim that inherent coercion to steal my output is justified - it's rationalized theft by threat of violence.
Hm, and here I thought the answer was "Pander to Tumblr".
Is there a service like Backloggery but that'll sync with Steam so I have my ridiculous library up there?
Entering 4000+ steam games [plus all my console games, at least another 1500] by hand would be a bitch.
Nope, not named Charlie.
But I'm definitely Winning.
Only because their rates are so heavily regulated.
But, baby steps.
Passable soliloquy, but since I'm obviously not going to convince you, I'll just leave you with this:
Claiming that you have ownership of my output, and thereby, my life force, implicitly, simply because I was born, tends to piss me off.
Using that stolen life force to enact social engineering, and fund shit I don't agree with, care about, or want, pisses me off more.
What, don't you have concerns about "overpopulation" and "carrying capacity"?
Don't you want to stop Global Climate Change™?
Because creating a utopian system where people can survive without actually earning that survival through their own power actually furthers those problems.
But no, no.... people never think about…
"I'm running a game that I believe could have great depth and intrigue, but my players never investigate things and seem to only want the combat train with occasional scene dressing. Part of that depends on how well I can pull them into the world, but too many of them are just obsessed with leveling up. To be honest…
