Yes, Red Storm Rising games are like this, particularly Red Storm Rising 2: Vietnam. One shot kills, no kill cam, shots to legs and arms hurt your shooting ability, and you have no way of knowing how many bullets you have in your gun just an estimate unless you are specifically counting.

“I can understand the appeal of a school shooting scenario” are words that are intolerable in literally any scenario or context.

Anyone who responds with “WELL ACTUALLY God of War didn’t invent ‘Ragnarok’” is getting dismissed, as I’m assuming you’re trolling. Surely your reading comprehension and critical thinking can’t actually be that bad.

It also makes no sense. Every component? That's a little broad.

Lol, what? Consumer just means the end buyer in a capitalist system, the one who is going to open the box and use the thing and not resell it.

That’s not technically true. All in-app transactions still go through the Apple processes. The win (barely) for Epic is that Apple isn’t allowed to block apps from directing users outside of the app (likely a webpage in Safari) where the user can purchase things independent of Apple. The reason it’s a win for Epic is…

Good news everyone! We’re having a catastrophic electrical failure!

OT:

18 of the 20 charges regarding that case have been dropped. The other 2 are against Rosario’s mother, not Rosario herself.

Yeah, there’s nothing on PS5 that I want to play at launch. But I do need another PS4 so might as well get the PS5 instead.

Whatever my feelings about these “walled gardens” might be in general, I find Apple’s arguments more compelling overall. They invested substantial time/money in constructing their app store and set clear rules for it, which Epic agreed to abide by until they didn’t. I don’t think it matters whether those rules are…

don’t forget Respawn. they are succeeding IN SPITE of EA. They keep trying to tank them, and Respawn is just too damn good at what they do.

But they will eventually fall to EA’s hunger. It’s a matter of “when” not “if”

You could mention Bullfrog here too, by the way. Another victim of the incompetent EA corporate grinder.

Wing Commander should be the Star Wars of video games.  It’s an IP with squandered potential. 

Visceral was never not EA.

In which Epic tries to get the kids all worked-up against one of the few things fellow mega-corp Apple has done well — setting up a walled garden to prevent shady app developers from allowing in-app purchases with no quality control or protections. But don’t worry, they’ll say it’s really about the 30 percent cut…

But that definition that she seems to adhere to is flawed at best and disingenuous at worst- women without uteruses don’t menstruate either, yet they are inarguably women.
Just like women in menopause or those using (semi-)permanent contraception.
There are also women who can’t birth a child for various reasons- yet…

I mean if you gave a shit about any political views, you wouldn’t be a centrist

Reviewers bear some of the blame, honestly. It’s rare that a review doesn’t contain some kind of estimate for how many hours you’ll play the game.

I don’t mean any shade, and I’m not speaking of all fans, obviously
