Elon Musk proving once again that he’s an idiot that doesn’t understand anything, much less the first amendment.

Not to mention - the Google Play store is not the only game in town.  Their platform is open enough, there are other app stores they allow onto the devices (a distant second is the Amazon app store).

Because they’re BGS and good enough is good enough for massive profits and because the modders will make it better. But I don’t see a decade life span for the current iteration, it’d need a CP: Phantom Liberty or No Man’s Sky level of investment and BGS isn’t going to do that.

He’s setting himself up for disappointment if he’s expecting Starfield to be the next Skyrim. He’ll be lucky if it’s the next Fallout 4.

Plenty of things get put into contracts are unenforceable. I haven’t done the research into whether this is but “contract” is not always the answer.

Terms of service can be contested in court if they’re anti-consumer. Removing content that customers have directly purchased seems pretty anti-consumer.

Not outside the US they don’t. You can’t dictate people’s legal rights in real countries. Even in the US, attempts to force people to use arbitration haven’t worked out as well as companies have wanted. Especially as a large number of people entering arbitration can be more expensive to a company than a class action…

I can’t wait for the day that game developers realize there are more ways to be evil than ‘kill everything’ and actually build gameplay around it. I think the closest I’ve seen is maybe Tyranny?

I cheer their downfall because they are an examplar of “release broken game fix it later” which is a hideous PC mentality that drags down the whole industry. And after Fallout 76 players were pledging they were done but of course that was lies, so I'm glad players who vote with their wallets for shitty Quality Control…

I don’t know - if I’m Bethesda I’d be concerned that Skyrim a 10year old+ game has more players than my two month old latest release. And that Fallout 4 has the same amount of players which is what almost 10 years old? Those are not great metrics.  

I found the game kind of meh. It had some interesting aspects that were mostly counterbalanced by boring and/or tedious elements. I get the “mixed” status on steam because that is right where I’d put it. I gave up about 25 hours in cause it just wasn’t holding my attention.

That is the biggest problem I have with Bethesda, they are incredibly tone deaf and disingenuous towards valid criticisms. Yeah the moon was empty when humans visited it and ostensibly the rest of the galaxy is in terms of life but people were doing science and meaningful exploration in the real world. The motivations…

But is it actually an open world game? Serious question. It doesn’t feel like one. I played Tears of the Kingdom and then Starfield and Tears felt like an open world. Starfield felt like a bunch of areas connected by forced fast travel. 

Its a single player game, and if you go after it playing all day for several weeks of course you are going to run out of things to do.

“I think Starfield is Subjective, but too many people claim its Boring, or it Sucks stating their opinion as fact.”

I’m not a streamer or influencer, and i found it boring not after playing all day for several weeks, but after less than 10 hours. And i’m not even a peripheral person to Bethesda games: I was a massive consumer of their stuff up to Oblivion.

Well, if your ancestors at some point were practicing Judaism, then you have still have a connection to Judaism (since one is generally connected to their ancestors somehow.)

I don’t know if it’s the first time I ever heard of George Soros, but the first time I heard of him that I remember was a press release he made during the first term of “Dubya.” I wish I could remember the details, I think the general gist was that he was very critical of the 43rd POTUS (what a shock) and was…

Calling him a Bond supervillain is insulting to Bond supervillains and would imply he has a plan of some sort.

There is no doubt Apartheid Clyde is racist and has shown antisemitic leanings in the past. I do wonder how much of this current rush towards it is down to the ADL calling his shit out.
