I don’t get that side story at all. Her people believed the UNSC and Spartans were out to get them and opposed the other guy taking over because he wanted to side with the UNSC. Now everyone saw that the UNSC is fighting the Covenant, not them, but they made the new leader really evil.

OK bud, time to give this narrative a rest. It’s been out for almost five years and by most accounts they’ve fixed the initial issues and turned the game around. Let’s let them have a win on this one.

Surely you can come up with different reasoning to argue 2005 is superior. This is currently arguing that 2005 is better than a version of Battlefront 2 that doesn’t exist anymore.

No lootboxes, and currently works fine.

i’ve never heard of any of these services until now, funny...

You must have missed all the controversy when it was announced Michael Cera’s role was being recast with Frank Grillo. People on these boards were up in arms!

Honestly, as somebody who chooses their words carefully—or at least tries very hard to—I would have just stayed away from any word or phrase that could evoke any means of suicide, whether or not the cause was known. That they happened to land on the phrase they did is just profound misfortune all around.

Yeah, I have a hard time thinking that anyone that has done anything more hardcore than car glamping didn’t read that book/see that mavie and come away thinking anything other than that guy was a moron.

Yeah...Kwan’s story does nothing for me. I find myself caring less and less about her cause the more she talks. Not sure that’s what they had in mind for her.

The streamers control how/when ads are played (for the most part). Making subscriptions the largest part of their revenue means there’s very little reason to play ads once your sub count is high enough.

You just described most jobs that most people have. I depend on my employer to continue paying me for the work I do. When it comes down to it I have very little say in how things are run, or whether they continue to pay me. These arguments are tired, come up with new ones for why people who provide a service (one that…

Exactly.

Trickle down economics only applies to costs.

Yes. Youtube has similar terms, but they only take a 20% cut, but youtube’s algorithm is weird so makes it harder for streamers to find footing. 

Fast X-it

also like...is it even shitty that they supported these games for so long? isn’t it borderline commendable that you could still use the online features until now? surely it wasn’t generating them any money.

I don’tagree this is an example of that. They are killing the features that are inherently internet based (multiplater, achievements, etc). Yet, even though the server literally does not exist anymore you can still use the offline features. The only exception is items that could be earned online and used offline but…

Well he figured out how to land rockets back on earth after launching them and figured out how make electric cars

DeSantis doesn’t care.  It’s the posturing that matters to him and the stupid people he is courting.  I hope he is over-reaching and this hurts him, but it seems that there is no such thing as over reaching to the GOP base these days.

You mean when it was exclusive to Xbox?

Counterpoint: touching them harms them if it is done too much and he is not entitled to special treatment just because he is a cool movie star.
