I’d say the most controversial change is stuffing the game with microtransactions and live service bullshit in an effort to create a perpetual money machine for sex criminal executives.

In this day and age, I would argue that not being able to replace a drive and install an OS on it is out of touch...

Right? I feel like I’m missing something, but maybe it actually is just spoiled ass rich people.

I rarely side with automakers or dealers, but damn these owners suck and just need to deal with it. This is literally how every consumer product works. Unless there was a contract or documentation stating these would never be made again... too fucking bad? This is what you get for overpaying for stupid vehicles.

Do it. Can’t believe Hajime No Ippo was not mentioned. Oh god, I’ve become one of those commenters. Anyways, if anyone has not watched it, even if you aren’t into boxing, it is a great anime about boxing that will inspire you 

Holy shit!  I was not expecting that to be Kirby, I thought it was a pinky demon from doom . . . 

Way to make my favorite anime/manga look bad, Russia.

I wonder if he’s seen Hajime no Ippo.

I remember watching this channel absolutely years ago, and I still marvel at the exact same thing I did back then.

“and this has also made dealers unlikely allies for buyers”

Unpopular opinion: the rest of the world gets cooler and more interesting cars than the U.S. This trend will continue as the U.S. lags behind the rest of the world in EV adoption.

I’d bet money that the always online requirement is a direct result of what happened to Gotham Knights when the game patched off the DRM by mistake. Suddenly everyone could download it, and it ran better than legally obtained copies.

It’s a huge merger, and huge mergers are ultimately bad for consumers, especially in already-rapidly consolidating industry like video games, to say nothing of the employees that will undoubtedly get laid off after the merger is approved. It’s not about just CaLl oF DUtY.

That’s nice. The merger still shouldn’t be approved though.

Enjoy this new grand adventure as Cassie Drake, taking on the mantle from her parents as she travels the world to exotic locales...to apologize for her family’s role in destroying countless priceless historical sites and convincing wealthy investors to donate the funds to restore them. Only on PS5!

Especially when those people are doing you a favor for no reward!

“Congrats guys, you prodded and pushed another developer too much and they’re seriously considering just stopping for good,”

there’s also no real way to enforce it unless the site is hosted in Louisiana. otherwise any attempt to block access would cause the FCC to bring the hammer down.

Seems he’ll be going to prison precisely because he has a hard time letting teenagers go.
