“And the result was dragon age 3 which felt boring, unrealistic and stale. They basically removed everything regarding homophobia, racism etc. They made some Utopian fantasy world which just felt really boring”

I, also, used exaggeration. Clearly ;) Unless your mom did get a note, then I would indeed feel slighted.

“This is better and more transparent behavior than we get out of most companies. Even most governments! But the more we get, the more we want, so people whine on about how they didn’t fix the problem faster, magically know and explain what happened in a personal email, and then follow up with a handwritten apology and…

I did not know I was affected, and I saw many websites give the reasons but I didn’t hear thing one from Steam until this morning.

Thank you for your passive aggressive defense of machines of death.

I know that you are not saying that. I have seen you state that a student having ready access to a weapon during times of emotional stress may not be the best thing.

Yes it is just as true as saying “making weapons that are designed to kill are somehow suprisingly used to kill.”

“People who carry guns in any public place for the purpose of mass or illegal shootings don’t give a shit about the laws anyway. Laws don’t stop those types of people anyway”

Right, the answer is for everyone to be armed, that way we can have John Woo style shootouts because Jonny got drunk and didn’t do his homework.

Isn't that like stating a favorite STD?

If they had printed physical discs with someone elses artwork, yes they absolutely would have been sued and lost. It’s not an idiotic scenario, its what WOULD have happened. Now they fixed it, yes. If it was such a non-issue they wouldnt have apologized and changed the trailer.

Apparently Sony does, ya know the multination billion dollar company. They apoligized and recut the trailer in an afternoon. See if Naughty Dog put that in a finished game and shipped it, Ubisoft would be well in their rights to sue the shit out of them. And they would win. And every single copy of the game that sold,…

That sounds like my mother’s sex ed talk. Which was about thirty minutes of...

Sorry but no.

Yeah, .5 seconds of the first trailer for a AAA title by a well respected game studio. And I appreciate the sheer amount of man hours that make his hair, THAT DOES NOT EXCUSE TAKING SOMEONE ELSES WORK AND CLAIMING IT AS YOUR OWN.

Nope. It is against law. Nice try.

The exact same lighting and angle in the picture kind of punches a hole in that theory.

They are to be blamed only if they leave it in. Whoever was in charge of that part is to blame. And they should be fired.

Oh because it is common that makes it okay. And btw when it does happen, it is usually “in house”. Michael Bay taking scenes from his past movies, a great many of the special effects in the Star Trek films from earlier Star Trek films, etc.
