Definition of words is not your strong suit, is it?
“Authoritarianism” is not a government method. Heck, it’s not even a word: it’s a neologism. The correct word is authoritarian, and a common synonym is “autocratic”. It means that one should (completely) submit to authority. It can be used in context other than…

You fall into the same problem as many others: “fascism”, “socialism”,”communism” and “capitalism” are not a single axis.

What more evidence is needed than: “we recorded more than a few cards exploding during play session of this game, and nothing else”?

It’s also part of a pattern where the agency has near godlike control over their artists, to the point of harasment and individual liberties, such as PREVENTING their wounger stars from publisizing (or even HAVING) a date life.

Those who make those decisions are part of the whole. Trying to isolate blame here does not change the fact that it’s an inferior product, and That I’m not inclined to buy more producst of the same dev: Nippon Ichi

A development team includes direction and upper management. Hence: devs. If you don’t like what upper management decides, and it ruins game, it’s STILL fair to blame it on “devs”, as they are part of the whole, sadly.

Cyberpunk 2077 used that exact same argument. It’s not a question or ressources: if those devs knew they did not have the ressources to make (or finish) a good port, they should have not released that port.

Welcome to the world of lazy devs who can’t bother to optimize their game (assets, engine, whatevs....) beyond the target hardware.

So the West has only been figthing arabs since the last few decades?

I’ll have both, every day. Thx for the first part today!

A convenient defense for being out-of-line: inject snark in a rant, and then claim LATER that it was a “joke”.

You are having it backwards: it’s not that people don’t believe that a lab break could be the culprit; it’s that others (like Stewart) are pushing that a lab break is THE most probable cause without having a smidgen of proof besides anecdota or coincidences (which should be said, are not proof in the slighest; only…

By our powers combined!

That’s called “projection” in psychoanalisys. It’s often not deliberate as well.

Toxic AND incredibly damning. Police investigators are trained to look for these kind of “over-reactions” when questionned. When they happen, they dig deeper, because very often you will find something fishy. Not always: that’s why you still need hard evidence. But it’s a useful heuristic when you have only so many…

I was not talking about your opinion even to you specifically: just at the “audience”, whoever that may be, about the new information and light you provided on this paticular subject; I was thinking aloud if you will. You felt singled-out, and I’m sorry for the confusion, that’s was not my intention and I should have…

“Some shares” still falls flat of any control. Especially in a private corp (by which I stand corrected).

What a marvelous example of a logical fallacy called “guilt by association”.
Follow the “logic” here:
1) Epic is a public owned company.
2) SOME shares, in a minority holding belong to a Chinese entity (Tencent)
3) Said entity is partially controlled and monitored by the the Chinese government (as is most thing important…

I’m really at loss to understand your logic: if they sell above their manufacturing price, then they profit from it. Full stop.

That the whole stance of Apple these weeks actually.
