That’s textbook pander’n. Just because something is a trope or pandering doesn’t automatically make it horrible.

So was Treadstone pandering to men when they had several scenes involving strip joints and sexual workers?  How about the latest Jack Ryan season, when they had to deal with sex traffickers to get to one of the key villians of the series?

You’re right. Hitman 4 is a nuanced commentary on the human condition. It would never stoop so low as to include content or characters just to titillate the fans.

What nefarious insinuation you are creating within your own mind?

You’re “on the fence” position here might as well just be with the incels because *you* are deliberately mischaracterizing her as wanting to lie about such things, instead of just listening to how women feel hurt by what happens to them in games. There didn’t have to be killable strippers. There didn’t have to be.

How dare a game attempting to simulate a real world, feature something that exists in the real world. 

No, it isn’t.

The official statement is that Fallen Heroes required more development than was feasible at the time.

Not so mysterious!  They just devoted all their resources to BG:3 instead.

It’ll get Kotick out (eventually) and allow Blizzard to become it’s own entity again

I would *LOVE* a game using just the combat system from DOS2.  Environmental damage, character customization, and all sorts of other depth.  

Or he’d be interested in it strictly cause it was a platinum chip.

Convenience has a cost, unfortunately. 

If delivery previously made up 80% of their revenue and dropped 3.5%, that’s not going to be offset by the remaining 20% of pickup revenue increasing by 5.6%

Convenience?

He didn’t even read the title in this case.

The title, “Democrats say they need to hear from scientists, not Trump, that vaccine is safe”, first paragraph - along with *all* the quotes make it clear: Trump’s word alone would never suffice to take the vaccine.

You mean him meeting with ACT UP since its founding to discuss their policy suggestions? His pushing forwards changes with the FDA to expand access to drug tests? Allowing HIV positive members onto the overseeing committees to AIDs research programs? His involvement to start PEPFAR in the early 2000's (a much lauded

We wouldn’t take it *solely* if Trump was the one hyping it.

Everyone who saw the Diablo Immoral and WC3: Refunded fiascos?

This shouldn’t surprise anyone at all.
