This is different, in that parents who endow a scholarship then continue to provide that scholarship AFTER their little angel has graduated. They DO give back. It is different from wealthy donor alums, who give CONTINUOUSLY (being alumni for the wealthy is a never-ending student loan payback - They help KEEP colleges…

Look at the afterbirth monstrosity that is RDR2, where gamers were promised they could play ONLINE “solo or with your friends...” HA!
Only if your idea of “play,” is being roped or killed by strangers against your will...
Bioware already added a “gamer’s hub,” because people…

When you pay $60- $100 (the PS4 cost for the pre-order with unaccessible demo weekends both times), it’s a bit harder to take the “well, just don’t play it then!” attitude...

Tell me, how often do you drop $60 for a piece of entertainment that then does not work as promised, and is not as entertaining in it’s current…

Doesn’t matter the CAUSE. Human stupid is still Natural Selection. Survival of the fittest. The stupid will cause some casualties amongst the better educated, but far more will succumb, strengthening the remaining population. That is what Natural Selection is, survival of the fittest. Even if it means against our own…

The hubby lets it all run on his PC. Drives me bonkers to look over. MY PC looks like it’s Amish. Nothing.
I’m running plain old AdBlock, the original that I donated $15 to a decade ago on Firefox. It’s worked well on Chrome the past several years, but has gotten a bit wonky lately (NOW I know why!), So I added NoAds…

Very simply. Human decency. Just because you CAN say something does not mean you should. The fact there are other stupid people who will cheer you on does not make it proper.

Some excellent arguments, Luke. But, for a certain percentage of us gamers, pre-ordering a game is your best chance to truly enjoy the game, bugs and all.
One of the new tactics for pre-order, is the exclusive Beta testing, where you pay $60 or more JUST to be one of the first people to play the game.

And, for those of…

Too stupid a rip-off - did not read...

They got a few million to make it easier.
Instead of learning to throw a ball, they should have learned Science, and Math, and English, and worked to get a job that actually benefited the world, instead of getting paid ginormous amounts of money to throw a ball.

Anna, you are a JOURNALIST. When you are given an impenetrable wall of gobbledegook to answer a SIMPLE yes or no question, FOLLOW UP.

I think the term you are trying for is “affected cuteness.” From Miriam-Webster:

Sadly, via Bethesda on Twitter, the ONLY way you will get to play the beta is to PRE-ORDER the game...
It is only to help Bethesda iron out the final bugs before release.
So by the time you figure out it is going to be nothing more than a troll fest, you’ve already committed to buying the thing...
Unless you can try the…

It’s called being a sell-out. He sold out his community and his fellow players. No sympathy here.

“It is not the duty of any people of color to provide handbooks to their cultures so that white people can feel more comfortable.”

The implications of this are literally game changing.
