Why would you buy the game if you have gamepass? If they take it off a year from now you can buy it then at a fraction of the price and keep playing. Square Enix is obviously is happy with the size of whatever check MS wrote so it’s not like anyone is getting screwed over.

It would be nice to see the data on how many women applied and were denied these scholarships compared to men. That seems kind of relevant, no? You know, before we all start enraging each-other and repeating our talking points.

Would 50/50 really be realistic?

I think the fact that you’re buying quality products and wearing them out is awesome (!) and sustainable.

Mary Magdalene would have had an OnlyFans.

I think libertarianism gets a bad rap in the US. It’s been co-opted by American conservatism because like all conservatism it romanticizes their history, and in the US that’s the golden age of cowboys, which I guess in a way “libertarian”. Libertarianism is more leftist than anything.

Its not a defense. Its a call for the writers here to not use such blatant exaggerations. If you read it it seems like Rowling has been spending her considerable wealth and platform to just rail against transgender rights ever since her career took off and that just isn’t true.

Cool. I respect everyone who makes the decision to not buy anything a bigot was involved in for him/herself. What I do not respect and still call cancel culture is when people do not just decide “I won’t buy” but also start a crusade with an online mob to destroy that person and make him lose his livelyhood by…

“On the back of this notoriety, the British author has waged a tireless campaign against transgender rights”

Think of all the people who have opinions that you don’t like working on projects you love who don’t have YouTube channels.  The horror!  You should probably just stop enjoying anything because there’s bound to be someone in there who you disagree with.

I don’t know if I like this. I mean clearly this guy has views I strongly disagree with. But... so? That means he can’t work on games?

It’s a different timeline in an alternate universe.

This is almost right up there with using chop sticks when getting Chinese takeout.

I’m literally the wokest person I know (and I currently live in Portland) but you are going out of your way to find something to be offended about. I don’t make a habit of telling another POC how to feel but there’s literally a million other things to be outraged about. Let this one slide.

The problem is, the first half of the movie is so misogynistic the connection feels beyond eerie.

It’s Germain, so...

This review is ...something.

Also, you can’t really claim that showing this sort of misogyny is not useful to modern society, while simultaneously complaining about how icky it is that Max Landis had a hand in it. Doesn’t that prove that is indeed still useful?

Yet almost anyone is sure to question whether showing verbal abuse to this extent, even if it’s hypothetically accurate for the time period and serves a purpose, is useful to modern society.

Nope, you’re not. Daikatana sunk an entire studio and was unplayable in any form. CP2077 made close to half a billion dollars on release weekend, is by all accounts really great on a sufficiently powerful machine, and will likely make $1-2b when all is said and done, even after the refunds and the drama.
