They’re rich and white. So no handcuffs and they get house arrest. At worst, they spend a couple years in a minimum security Club Fed.

True, but if we manage to educate enough people, perhaps such tactics will no longer maximize their profits.

The ex-VW owner probably comes out ahead in the long-run.

THIS JUST IN: Tow truck operators are scumbags. Also, water is wet, and 2+2=4

Cars of people who most often bear the brunt of law enforcement action. The poor mostly. Find a joint? Seize the car. Gun without a permit? Seize the car. Over your bag limit with wild game? Seize the truck.

People conspire to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from schools and they’ll pay a fine at worst. But some guy caught with an ounce of weed is a danger to society and needs to be incarcerated for several years.

You seem to not get the actual issue of the article it wasn’t Atlus game that is the issue its that they want to remove an emulator which is a no no in law I mean every game i have emulated I buy a copy for it did you see the recent piracy study in EU where that piracy kills sales is all BS

From a steering perspective, aren’t all NASCAR drivers alt-left? Somebody explain that.

Dunno, man. I have a mortgage, but I’ve never been beaten, imprisoned, abused or otherwise forced to do things completely against my will. I feel there’s a pretty big difference.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud to be a fan of Dale than I am today. He has always been someone that I admire and respect. It’s sad that he’ll likely be the lone voice in NASCAR that’s willing to say this since those who agree will likely be too scared to voice this opinion.

“Damn Liberuls and their participation medals!”

Fuck the confederate flag and literally everyone who flies it.

Depends; are they Richard Petty Motorsports fans? Because losing is a tradition as well.

If a NASCAR fan were flying the Confederate Flag, wouldn’t that be about as disrespectful toward the American Flag as anything in the history of America?

Jason, I’ve been reading your book, and it’s clear that a big part of game development involves deception. I’m sure developers consider it a necessary evil since they are constantly trying to get funding for their current and future projects, but they put no small amount of effort into spectacular (but unrealistic)…

I’m not sure how developers have the gal to blame gamers for toxicity, when time and time again they overhype their products, overpromise, overestimate their abilities and foster a cult like attitude in their communities.

Probably because devs like bioware did the exact thing. I think it was dragon age where the base game contained weapons/armor that only one character could use (the rock guy), but the character himself was dlc. So maybe it’s not toxicity but rather skepticism bred by historic practices?

That one is on the devs/companies. Years of on disk DLC and similar bad practices really gave people a strong negative reflex. You gotta build that trust back up.
