I think the bothersome thing is that the industry now feels almost exclusively geared toward people buying collector items for the sole purpose of reselling them at a profit, as opposed to hunting down and filling out actual collections. Not too terribly long ago, the hobby collectors and the resellers were the same…

If you put a corporation in charge of home insurance, you will get Profit, and the absolute least possible amount of insurance. Corporations do not exist to provide goods or services, those things would be Loss, and are thus avoided like the plague.

Sure, but without updating the models and textures, MGS1 does not look good at high resolution. With VERY few exceptions (mostly if they’re not trying to represent anything organic), 240p 3D visuals can usually be most kindly described as “unpleasantly chunky” when displayed at a higher resolution.

“I fail to see how this hurts the industry”

You fail to see how making one single company own the biggest publisher in the entire world, is bad. And then you wax poetic about something about unions.

Heres a tip: It hurts the industry because consolidation of power is bad. Everyone is “ legally prohibited from engaging…

“microsoft is one of the most consumer/union friendly companies”

This is gonna be disastrous for the entire games industry. There is no way one of the biggest companies buying out another of the biggest companies will be a net positive, it’s going to quickly turn anti-competitive and anti-consumer. But because Microsoft knows exactly what to say and what small concessions to make,…

Amazing that an instructor who relies on scared people to pay his salary would spread stories of how scary and dangerous the world is.

If they don’t bring back Survival then I don’t give a shit. Bring back Survival, you cowards.

This smells like one of those “it happened to one lady in a random PA town so that local police department is warning everyone nationwide...” type of things, like the whole “gangs flash their brights at people and commit violence as part of gang initiation” thing that was going around the internet for a long time.

Some…

So they just cut off your power with no alternative? Seems like that would be news-worthy. What plant was it?

Would a coal plant even get shut down if there wasn’t something to take it’s place? I doubt they’d just kill it and leave people without power. Is that what’s happening? 

That dude is fucking nuts!!!

So this guy could get out and shoot people instead of just hitting their cars with a pipe?

This isn’t true.. walmart said they was closing stores due to shoplifting threat and after the shut them down..and lay all those employees off they stated that the shoplifting threat was “overstated”. They did similar with the eggs when they claim chickens was affected by the flu.. and after they raised prices they…

Ok, fine, a distubingly large amount of us would be chuckling.

Presuming an actual threat happened (I think that’s the reason for “credible” to be in quotation marks), and not a way to try and cancel things where they would expect to be taken to task by users and clients.

I will acknowledge that in this current timeline, either are possible.

I doubt it. More likely they saw/read someone say something mean and someone (coughex-eaceogough) is just trying to garner some sympathy. Lack of details makes it suspect.

“Hello, this is one of your employees. I forgot my name, email, password, social security number, my mother’s maiden name, bank details and which program to use to connect to the back end.”

Cowards 

Did you people ever stop to think if it was intentional ?? Probably not because you’ve all got MDS ( musk derangement syndrome ). The hubcap came off as part of the new “ (Beta) FSW Subscription. FSW stands for Fucking Stupid Weight and for just $ 5000 a year you too can have a vehicle that dumps parts to save weight…
