“I lost track of how many times I slouched back into my chair after losing up to a half hour of progress, poised to quit and go play another game”

You know, I’m not either. I was all in on FF15, but then the FF IP raped my dog.

I”m honestly impressed EA is the first one to do this.

was the sandwich for the IP or the raped dog?

I had a lot of fun with WD2, but this is because I am used to stealth based games. Which if you opt to play that way, this game is great. The combat on the other hand is extremely frustrating, and the almost non stop stream of reinforcements make it a dangerous chore.

Most don’t actively pay but they grant early access and stuff like that which makes the streamer more amenible to providing positive coverage.

A lot of devs don’t pay streamers. Where it gets murky is when devs provide content, like free or discounted games, software licenses, etc. That’s why it’s so good that EA has two separate layer of tags here. You can look at say a Mass Effect Andromeda stream or video and theoretically discern between a “supported”…

Streaming for some reason is a shallow market. Just mostly concentrated on YouTube.

I like how you described that one! But that is true about them, they’re stuck in the past with how they run things. Me and my fiance are content with getting all we need through Hulu/Netflix and possibly CBS All Access (thanks Star Trek). So we’ll actually come out ahead being cord cutters. We don’t really see us…

It also depends on a lot of factors too. One of the sites on here, either Gizmodo or Lifehacker, did a story on the actual cost of cord cutting. You’re not really going to save a whole lot unless you take the bare minimum route or just pirate everything.

One of the biggest answers to Sombra imo. Winston. He still continues to be one of the best answers to just about every squishy in the game. Sombra being no exception. His damage is constant and doesn’t require aim so as long as he’s on her she can’t invis or hack. Completely forcing her out or killing her.

Remember just couple years ago when the cable companies were saying cord cutting is just a phase? Pepperidge Farms remembers...

Clearly Mega Man is just German. He was saying“The Wily, The”.

They also didn’t “accidentally” download an early pirated version of the game. The people who got banned deserved it. Play with fire and you get burned.

PSN needs a gifting option.

The “TOS’s aren’t legally binding” argument is completely defeated by its own premise.

Hmm! Well, at least we know it wasn’t a change of policy thing. So we still have the possible loopholes of people exploiting those stores that don’t check.

Such drama queens.

Now see, THAT is good information to know, because it lets us figure something out.

Yeah. It doesn’t really bother me if people want to try to pirate - as far as crimes go, it’s almost harmless - but don’t get all bent out of shape when there are repercussions. You took something that doesn’t belong to you, it’s not really more complicated than that.
