yes, correct

no, she’s trying to keep it from a group of terrorists who she believes murdered her father and have been hounding her across the world. she acts with incomplete information, but with the right intention.

Nah, that’s not about gamers.  It’s just the general trend.  The worst part about any fandom is the fans.  An alternative example of ‘sports’ comes to mind.

Nintendo is a Japanese company, Japan has different laws regarding copyright, Valve does business in Japan, has Japanese customers, and works with Japanese companies.

The midnight release of Halo 3 and og MW2. and even then, I only actually waited like 15 minutes to receive my preorder lol

Consumerism is absolutely out of control.

Congrats is survived a car fire, pretty much any insulated “Yeti” clone tumbler would have also survived lol.  

My interest in Stanley remains flat.

This whole anal bead conspiracy is pretty goofy. Like there’s probably a million way to cheat at chess that doesn’t involve sticking anal beads up your ass.

What the fuck are you talking about

Bandwidth my ass. All that cash money made from shark cards because everything is price-gated unless you have hours and hours of time to grind or you happened to have modded money back from the old PS3/Xbox days. And yet, all that money goes towards the shareholders and the CEO. There's nothing of value in GTA online…

One of those “pretend not to know what the author is referring to when they use common industry parlance that refers to a specific business model, so that I can act superior and impart useless information that is irrelevant to the topic at hand” statements...lmao

We didn’t used to refer to any online game as a “live service” though. There’s a difference between a multiplayer game where they have to keep the servers running and maybe occasional balance updates and fixes, and one that has regular new content, microtransactions, battle passes, etc. It’s still technically a “live…

They threw out the baby with the bathwater. We just wanted Factions 2, not some hulking GaaSy monstrosity.

I also think that Somewhere deep down Sony must be seeing the market trends and their own game sales proving that Single Player games are a huge market. They broke their own sales records 3 times in the last 3 years.

Yeah I didn’t want a live service, just a modern update to Factions, bummer that wasn’t their intention. Probably for the best to kill the live service project, but let’s not pretend Last of Us 3 was in danger of not happening because of a live service project, that series is a cash cow and they’re going to milk it…

Please let this be the harbinger of a sea change within the industry. The world needs fewer of these live service abominations - not more.

Goofy equation you just cooked up. My cousin also died from lung cancer and never smoked or owned a video game in her life. Yes, inhaling anything is bad. Tacking on some random celebrity who didn’t actually do what is being warned against is silly. 

soooo what happens when it returns control to a driver already not paying attention? what if the driver fails to realize control has been turned back over to them for whatever reason?

There’s the cylindrical “refresh” coming next year.
