It’s not really complicated - piracy is driven by greed. To counter your own points:

* They are all just excuses made up by entitled people that think they are owed something.

IMO, if you pirate games, you aren’t a gamer, plain and simple. You don’t support the industry, you leech off of other gamers, sequels are less likely to be made directly because of you, and frankly, you are just a bad person. If you can’t afford games, then well...guess there are other hobbies for you out there…

Insider play + Advertising = Wake-up call.

oh god it’s..... hideous

It turns out that game studios can work on multiple projects at the same time because not all people are needed on a single project at all times, due to the order in which things are done. So starting a second project likely has very little to do with this delay.

Calm down there, Satan.

Fair. I backed the product Day 1, expecting a PC, Single Player game.

I reccomend playing Syndicate. Massive improvement. Except for Jacob. He is boring.

Quality Assurance will write you a “Direct Safety Violation” or DSV, and you’ll be in front of the Maintenance Group Commander for a snowball. Ask me how I know.

As you earn more badges from the Council you can eventually buy the Morty Chips in the store. You can also craft them too if you like.

I did read somewhere that it’s better to just grind away and level up, defeat the Council and then eventually catch/combine more Morty’s. Which seems to make the most sense to me since…

“A 6,000-seat theater that one day one owner said ‘we hope will host the Oscars.’”

Exactly! The correct response - if you’re white - to “Black lives matter” is to say “Yes. Yes, they do” not “BUT WHAT ABOUT ME?!?”

I don’t think the author is racist, necessarily. The book is written by a woman of color, illustrated by a black woman, and edited by a black woman who won the Coretta Scott King prize for a book she herself wrote in 2013.

That’s how bonds work. Public entities don’t just have hundreds of millions of dollars lying around, so when they finance stadiums they do so by borrowing a money from the bank, and then paying it back over a 20 or 30 year timeframe. Just because the team skipped town during the repayment period doesn’t mean the city,…
