In most other industries, day-one purchasers are Early Access users, they just don’t know it yet.

Yea I have mixed feelings on it. I think EA is a good thing overall, but its increasingly less good for me. And not even because of bugs. There are a few great early access games that I loved, but because I sank 30 hours in, I had no interest in revisiting them in their completed state.

Come back in two weeks then, brah.

I don’t think it should take much to understand why the concerns regarding Tencent and people’s feelings regarding Microsoft aren’t exactly apples to apples here.

The issue with Tencent has more to do with them being in the pocket of an authoritarian government.  

Wow, I didn’t do any of that.

If you ever thought the Internet as a whole was “sublime” you weren’t really ever paying attention.

You’re sharing an opinion, and D. Walker is also sharing an opinion.

Advertisers were on the web for decades. Mostly in pop-up ads which were often tied to malware, so they left. There was a small window where Flash wasn’t everywhere yet, HTML5 was only spoken about. Sure the websites were kinda simple, but they didn’t run ads outside of few banners. All you needed was one pop up…

It’s almost as if they’re being exploited or something.

“Haha, I’m personally unaffected by this, so I don’t give a damn that other people are being treated unfairly! Hooray, apathetic selfishness!”

Uh... Lobbying, idle threats, campaign contributions, etc.

Liberal groups generally push for inclusion, sometimes at the expense of existing social structures. Alt-right groups often push for ethno-states and the subjugation or…

Yeah, but those “unjust terms” are usually actually things that are exploitative to the detriment of the smaller party. In this case, it’s literally just two giants going “you’re going to give me money” “actually no, I’m not going to give you any money” when they’re both making massive, obscene profits already, to the…

I have a visceral hatred of both parties involved, but to be honest, Epic is clearly in the wrong here. They broke the terms of the service agreement, full stop. This is such a blatant strong-arm attempt and is decidedly illegal and really shouldn’t even go to court, no matter how much money is on the line (and I’m…

I think Souls-like has essentially lost all meaning, but can we at least agree the combat in this game is not remotely souls-like? Big group fights and AoE’s, rapid distance closing moves, brief transformations into a “super power” mode, etc.
