Yeah, I am straight up never going to get into a game that requires a multiplayer component.

Nah. I would agree that it is part of some of it. But in many games other game modes are equally or more toxic. I think what you mean is online play is toxic.

THIS is why people feel entitled to their right to harass.  They, like you feel the developers “deserved it”.

“Games as a Service”/MMO-Lite is literally just rebranding bad MMO experiences with poor levels of content and had been around for years

There is probably no game I understand the appeal of less than Destiny 2, but no behavior I understand less than “harassing the devs of a game you like.”

While not detracting from the seriousness of the specific case focused on I’m not surprised by this general turn of events of the “fandom”. In general it seems all too common with MMO developers (I really wouldn’t call Destiny 2 genre-defining) where constant requirement for change and the growth of PR by Twitter sees…

That ME3 ending was terrible, and it’s totally why I spent weeks sending all kinds of threats and shit to the developers that were completely justified. Oh, wait, I’m recalling that wrong. Actually, I went ‘well that ending was lame’ and then went to play another game.

Imagine refusing to grant your own child some dignity to own the libs. Dude will rather earn the praise of online chuds than a relationship with his own child.

I’d say it’s almost more like a deconstruction of generic high fantasy, considering its elves are confined to ghettos and its mages are hunted as threats to society.

“Anime” is a Japanese word, originally a loan word from French, that is used to refer to any animated media. The idea that it can only refer to something that was created by Japanese artists is an Americanism.

the complaint is that the art style is no different to a lot of the recent mature RPG series that have come out and that complaint is completely valid.

I’ve switched to Apple Maps due to its Apple Watch integration being on point (which is mostly because I have a 2010 and 2015 vehicle, so no integration with Apple or Android Auto in my vehicles)

Kinda smug don’t you think? I used Garmin GPS for years (before smart phones), then once Google Maps took off, it was a lot better than Garmin, and I like Garmin. It’s almost like it’s personal preference...

Yeah, its not like I’m going to check the bing map option when I buy a car.

Meanwhile Apple is over here making draconian app store rules and no one gives a shit.

Civil suits have a usefully lower standard of guilt, insurance companies have a lot of financial and legal resources, and although I don’t know about the cars he hit, Teslas are expensive to start with and hold their value well.

To be fair I don’t think Jay Leno goes to the corner store for a bag of chips without a chase truck and film crew.

Yeah the part where the car is clearly lined up and prepping to jump, with everyone standing there with their phones out and recording, makes the claim that this was “without warning” really really suspect.

High speed. What they mean is speed. Cops and news people.. stop trying to sound smart or cool or technical. Just say speed. Speed is already a rate. Saying a rate of a rate means you’re talking about acceleration. While the Tesla had to have accelerated a some point, it looked like its acceleration was around zero…

“without any warning.”
