He didn’t say they were lying about the incident *being* an error. He is asking for more clarification on the *nature* of the error. Probably something like: Was this a new feature being tested that got leaked? How did it come about that timely, live advertisements are tied to in-game button presses? What about…

EVs come with additional benefits, such as reduced reliance on oil, and environmental benefits that make them an overall better choice for the economy and environment overall. I am against the stupidly large EVs, however. I.e., Hummer.

People in U.S. have complained about similar ads from Jeep.

i live in the park national forest, Colorado, USA. motorsports are very destructive to the nf road system and the environment, these days. i congratulate toyota for acting responsibly in this matter

Degenerate behavior begets disdain. Around the world people recognize that “brolanders” are the plague and act accordingly. In America, such behavior is condoned and rewarded.

All of us are effing irresponsible and getting worse. Consume, discard, destroy. We might not wise up until we mess everything up and eventually have to live like they do in Cuba and learn to keep vehicles running for decades instead of allowing vehicle manufacturers and dealers to keep screwing us over with every…

I feel a strong need to pile on here...

Old man yells at cloud

If it’s not the American way, it must be the wrong way!

It’s not (sic) if they are using the correct spelling for the language they are speaking.

They’re not wrong.

They also claimed that the video was shot outside the UK on private land

Ha, what the hell is with the multiple “[sic]” notes here? That’s how they spell stuff over there. It’s perfectly acceptable.

They must have towed the truck outside the environment

paying for the privilege of being advertised to is the new horizon. 

So you didn’t read the article. He already acknowledged the old-man-yells-at-cloud thing. He also said he doesn’t care. Thirdly, the issue isn’t just that the cosmetics are available for purchase, but that in most games who have them, you don’t have the option to turn them off. So no, even if you don’t buy them…

That’s all well and good, but when they start pulling characters in from SP only games and other properties, they’re cheapened. Tantamount to stapling great pieces of fiction onto a dancing puppet fueled by pure greed. It’s gross and sad at the same time.

Get what you’re saying, but I can’t ignore it just because Fortnite has already jumped the shark while banging an octopus. It may not bring a narrative structure that has been bastardized by the introduction of so many IPs but it sure makes the practice look good. Other studios are tripping over their own dicks to get…

I didn’t mention Fortnite because (to me at least) its long been a brand playground that I don’t even think about as having a distinct universe anymore. (I know it has lore, but even that is intermingled with BRANDS)

Pretty much. Fortnite is the biggest offender, but you didn’t mention it for some reason? The thought of shooting at a cartoon Banana while cosplaying as Alan Wake seems so discordant. Or Chun-Li sniping Ellen Ripley? It’s obnoxious and diminishes the original properties. Shoehorning in the cameos into MK11 actively…
