Blasphemy. I had this a long time ago.

That is simply not true in the vast majority of cases. https://www.ea.com/service-updates/2018

To be honest it has been that way for a while. The indies drive the clever concepts that AAA titles adapt eventually.

I have been making this same argument for a couple years now, and it doesn’t get through to people.

Here’s the reality: The Vocal Minority of gamers don’t like loot boxes, and they will take everything down with them in a fiery blaze if it means getting what they want.

Look at the hot coffee and violent video games…

This is right on the money.

This is where things get murky, and people dig their heels in even harder.

In games like Rocket League, you can trade some items, and some are harder to get than others, so there have been sites and groups that will sell you those items instead, thus creating a grey market. The developers have zero control over the…

I seriously would love to have these again. been working on my POG collection again, nowhere near its former glory.

The game launched without microtransactions. They were available in beta, but not since launch. you literally have not been able to purchase things since launch with real money.

I blame it on people taking that stupid forum post that broke down the 1000+ hours to unlock everything BS as gospel.

I’d wear these if they didn’t have the fuzz on them. They look awkward as hell.

There was never a way to purchase in-game things with real money. The game launched worldwide without microtransactions. You could still buy things with in-game credits, however, which were earned by playing.

It really bothers me how often I hear “GOOD I CAN PLAY IT NOW SINCE THEY TOOK OUT MICROTRANSACTIONS!!” when…

But aren’t CAR-a-mel and CARE-mel, the exact same thing and a valid word in the english language?
The difference here is Flamingo and Flamenco are different words in english.
Ay-chill-eys/A-Kiles are not words in the english language.

Agreed, I spent a while staring at it to make sure.

Can we talk about the looping game on the arcades behind you? I just found myself staring the entire time over your shoulders.

Sounds like it will a very....PRIMAL experience?

What trust? They will have shown (assuming it even would make air, due to some stations having tape delays) any other employer they cannot be trusted to follow their contracts and may not read what they are told If they disagree with it.

They aren’t journalists, they are anchors. They read the news and nothing more. Stop giving them so much credit. Essentially they are actors.

But yes I agree regardless, I simply am saying it isn’t as easy as most online make it out to be.

I have no doubt some did.
And I do have empathy for them, as if they had to choose between their lives and very likely their families lives if they disobeyed orders (There were many reports of defectors entire bloodlines being eliminated in Germany) I don’t know how they could make either decision and sleep at night.…

1. These are not journalists, they are news anchors, essentially actors. They are paid to read what is prompted. Do not give these people more credit than they deserve.
2. I refer to breach of contract and similar civil legal actions.
If an anchor went off script and said something that could be sued for libel (As it…

You are completely right. Lots of nazi soldiers and conscripted troops realized they or their families would be joining the dead or I am sure much worse if they disobeyed orders. Essentially “I don’t want to do these horrible things, but what happens to my family, friends, literally anyone I know, if I do not?”  

That…
