Well said.

Sirota get really hardcore ratio’d by a ton of genuine, non-think tank people on twitter when this happened and it really confused me. People were piling on him, saying he was a Bernie supporter and they would never ever vote for him.

I mean, good for them. I’m not going to end up playing their games as a result, but good for them. I already have Steam, Uplay, Battlenet, Bethesda.net, Origin, Microsoft Store, PSN, Microsoft, and Switch store front accounts to deal with, and I really, really feel like having my games in 9 different places is enough.…

Y’know what?

Fair.

I agree with this.  He should run as a third party candidate.

He’s culturally appropriating and he’s insulting all Hispanics by implying they are too dumb to know he’s not actually Hispanic.…

Competition is fine. Exclusives are a different thing though.

No Steam, no buy. If you think Valve was a bad pseudo-monopoly, just wait for Epic.

You’re so unwoke, buddy. It’s not because AOC is a Democrat, it’s because she’s young, socialist, Latina, label, label, label, and also very very sexually attractive (because that’s important for some reason).

the problem is because the game world is shared you can’t really affect it as an individual. you’re just a passenger. really neuters the strongest aspects of Bioware storytelling.

I truly feel that people are outraged over nothing.
