Hex, who lives in the UK, recently talked to Motherboard about her frustrating experience with U.S. immigration authorities, who denied her access to the country while she was trying to get a temporary tourist visa to visit friends.

First, stop calling them “abortion pills.” They’re menstruation resumption pills. Branding is everything.

I never minded story missions disappearing, but I do have an issue losing whole fucking planets. Make them optional downloads if you want, but I miss Titan.

I stopped playing during the Season of Plunder because... ugh why so much grind? I didn’t pre-order Lightfall and likely won’t touch it until it’s on sale, if that. The big thing that had me worried is this:

You’re correct. I challenge the CMA to show me any game with sales flat 12 months after any given event. Also 12 months is a loooooong time in gaming.

The CMA is straight up, perhaps intentionally, misreading Microsoft’s transparent data.

Gears of War is a 1st party franchise.

Rom-Coms wer enever good.

It could be argued that post-encounter is actually *better* that pre, since it is within the rights of any sexual parter to withdraw consent during the act.

Rape continues to be the only violent crime where the burden of proof is on the victim, regardless of where the crime occurs.

It feels... well it feels as old as it is. If you like that, it’s okay. If not, you won’t.

I’d also argue that if this is blocked, effectively because people are worried about Call of Duty being on PlayStation, then Sony needs to start releasing titles on Xbox. The logic cuts both ways and I don’t think Sony is ready for that, because getting people who don’t understand the industry to buy into their…

Reminder: Neither of this companies know you exist.

Again, you’re assuming a ‘90s business model for Microsoft and discounting the almost disposable nature of COD titles. Platform loyalty is far, far stronger than game loyalty, especially when you have a new version of a title being released annually.

What part of “next Bungie title” was hard for you to understand? They have a whole new IP in development.

Exactly. Microsoft not allowing CoD on everything with a screen (sort of like Minecraft! MS has a better track record of multi-platform releases than Sony does!) is like Elon Musk telling advertisers that Twitter sucks with his words, instead of his actions. 

China was 3% of ATVIs revenues overall. Microsoft doesn’t care about that.

Which Sony merger has materially hurt Xbox? None, right?

Our commitment to grant long term 100% equal access to Call of Duty to Sony, Nintendo, Steam and others preserves the deal’s benefits to gamers and developers and increases competition in the market.

Conservatives are actually using her case to say abortion laws should be MORE restrictive to remove grey areas.
