If that doesn’t scream police state I don’t know what does.

Plus it wont actively try to kill you like some hypercars.

“If someone else will do the same job for less then why would I pay you?”

“Someone is adding value somewhere.”

Yttrium’s response is what I was getting at, I don’t want to repeat it.

Everyone is a responsible gun owner until they’re not.

That’s required to maintain investor confidence in the deal. If instead they announced that Kotick will be immediately fired, then that usually signals something is fucked up. Sure, we know it is fucked up, but from a PR perspective they need to say that Kotick is continuing otherwise shareholders get nervous. And…

I’m seeing that a lot of the reviewers haven’t played the game in the last two weeks. Even some with over a hundred hours in the game. That leads me to believe this game doesn’t have that much staying power.

Yes it is despite. Just because some people were able to purchase video games during these times, some have not because the pandemic decimated their industries and hence their income. Entertainment quickly takes a back seat to putting a roof over your head and foot at your table.

Of course game developers won’t allow you to bring in a skin from another developer. Lose out on all that lootbox/item shop money? Hell no.

In order to draw someone into a scam, you need a face. Every Ponzi scheme needs someone charismatic or famous enough to launch it. If I walked up to you offering a bauble that has no value other than speculative, you’d laugh me off. If a well known person does it, you’d at least be more likely to listen to them.

Unless he literally goes to the authorities immediately and starts a massive (from the dollar figure standpoint) fraud investigation, then this is all staged nonsense. I get that he’s rich, but this is still $3.5 million that was stolen from him.

Have you played any online games recently? Progress ain’t happening.

Hang on, first you said you’re not depriving someone of a resource but now you’re shifting the goalposts to say depriving someone of a product? Sure, I’ll grant you a distinction that digital goods being pirated isn’t depriving someone of a physical product. But that doesn’t change the fact that piracy is still theft,…

If you were never going to buy it because you don’t deem it worth $10 then you don’t watch it. You are enjoying something someone created for free when they intended to be reimbursed $10 for spending the time to create it. Your lack of intent to buy it makes no difference to the result of your action. That would be…

Money is a resource, so if I create a movie that I sell for $10 and you pirate it, you’ve deprived me of $10. Not to mention that the definition of piracy has evolved to include “the unauthorized use or reproduction of another’s work.”

No, the cows that already exist would live out their lives as they have been and we don’t breed more? I don’t understand how you go from industrial farming to all the livestock being freed into the wilderness in the blink of an eye.

I don’t know, if someone gets COVID and dies it sure sounds like COVID caused the death, regardless if they had any co-morbidities.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say no they aren’t because somewhere there’s fine print that said if you go on our slopes whatever happens is on you.

Saying the rich got richer is putting it very mildly.
