The issue of crunch culture exists outside the vacuum of a single company and a single six week period. This instance may not be particularly egregious but the over all issue and the effects it can have on staff is much larger. Don’t be willfully ignorant of the topic nor the negative costs it can incur on those…

I bet his family complains all night after that feast...

I never said anything about concern being overblown...

Again with the hyperbole. You do not need to keep them “running all the time.” As it isn’t a true statement, the argument falls flat. Look, I’m not trying to be rude or combative so if I came off as such, I apologize. Admittedly it was late for me so I was a bit tired. I was trying to get you to reflect on why you…

While your points are valid, it doesn’t quite apply to the one I was making regarding the OP.

It’s a shame that there isn’t much in the way of options but that in no way whatsoever means people have to keep giving them money. These are not essential products or services and they don’t control the only means of production... they can’t control the market unless people let them.

While i can understand the exhaustion of remembering usernames and passwords, its still better than having a single one with a monopoly on a given market. More launchers and storefronts means less stagnation. Do they always get it right, definitely not, but it’s still better than the alternative.

Seems to be an issue with resizing to fit the page. Clicking them for the expanded view, they are crystal clear.

And with that same mentality, just because he points out the foolishness doesn’t mean he condones it or otherwise thinks the act or outcome was acceptable. It’s a saying that has existed for hundreds of years after all.

Pro tip, disconnect your physical-based console from the internet first, it will install it straight from the disc. You will still have to download any day one patches but it will be a hell of a lot faster, depending on your internet speeds of course. If nothing else, if one is unfortunate enough to be stuck with…

For a 70k purchase, your claims would probably be ignored. For the seller, a 10000% profit more than makes up for the loss of an account and for ebay itself, i doubt they want to front the refund on that -if- it even falls within their refund policy guidelines at all.

I hate to be negative nancy here but do you really believe that raising the base price by $10 is going to make them no longer want “recurrent user spending?” You really expect them to throw away potential tens, hundreds or even thousands (in the case of the occasional ‘whale’) of dollars per user for a one-time extra …

With —full priced— digital sales that have next to no overhead doing so well and only increasing... not a very good argument for raising the cost. Or blindly accepting it.

Typically, “select retailers” means most if not all of the major chains. Safe bet that Amazon, Gamestop, and Best Buy (or equivalent) at the least will be taking them. When likely depends on the retailer. Could be at 1 AM, could be at 6 AM, could be noon... It’s better if they don’t give a specific time to at least…

I sei what you did there.

Home is where people are the laziest and most disgusting version of themselves. I hope inspections are done a bit more regularly than actual restaurants...

For me, physical mostly. Digital rights concerns aside, I don’t mind the occasional digital purchase but it really depends on the game. If it is something I’m excited for and have been waiting for it, I’ll go with physical. If it is something that wasn’t really on my radar but I want to give it a shot, I won’t mind…
