Aaaaand now we’re back at the piece of shit acting like a piece of shit.

I would argue the issue isn’t the existence or marketing of a product, rather how easy it is to procure, which I believe OP is saying. You can argue about how attractive the product is to people, or lack of mental health services until the end of time, but the real and very obvious problem (at least to those outside the US) is just how easy it is for most people to get a weapon capable of killing many with little to no valid reason, checks or training. From the outside this is seriously bonkers.
Right! Can you imagine if Rembrandt had an executive committee behind him dictating what to paint a picture of, then micromanaging brush strokes? That’s the games-for-shareholders model, and it’s fucked. Games are best when made by people who are passionate about the project, not solely about the profit. My big hope now is the publishers learn from the Sony debacle and simply publish the game, be happy with their profit cut, and shut the fuck up.
JFC indeed! That questionnaire was vomit-worthy, and the ticker at the bottom showing “recent donations” needs work because they’re repeating the same fake names over and over.
If they enforced it from day 1 then you’re right, no one would have cared. At day 1 it would be upfront and everyone would know what they’re getting and far fewer people would have bought it. Enforcing it at day 40 or whatever is not cool. I, along with many others by the sounds of it, was looking forward to finally buying this game and now I won’t be. In general I am so fucking sick of good-sounding games coming along just for them to be fucked in one way or another, i.e., missing content, under developed/tested, broken promises, “we’ll patch it later”, etc.
Hah! I’ve been calling Zuckerberg a fuckwad for years!
Kinderguardians!
I was disappointed in myself for buying it when it first came out. I hope there has been a LOT of patching, because at release it was boring AF. Especially coming from FO3 where dialog options and story branching actually mattered. In FO4 I remember purposely choosing the dumbest dialog options and the game just led me where it wanted me to go anyway.
This disappointment was compounded by me also buying Just Cause 3 at the same time… Holy shit what a garbage weekend that was. That was the day I vowed to never buy a game on presale again.
Or more noticably all the southern hemisphere penguins
Taxes get spent on all sorts of stuff you don’t want or need - that’s the purpose of tax, so the country can spend money on things it needs but individuals don’t necessarily want. You might as well complain about tax being spent to build roads you’re never going to drive on, or social services you don’t partake in. It’s all the same pool of money.
Ahhh, take off the uniform BEFORE burning it! That’s where he went wrong /s
Yep, look at that crowd going wild over this display. Hmmmm
If history has shown us anything, it’s that the shop is ALWAYS ready. It goes: build a store front, make a game around it, and lastly remove some features from the game and put them in the shop.
Is that the Behind The Bastards Robert Evans? Love his work.
Is him being gay even relevant to what happened, or are they just trying to make this about something it’s not?
No, no, no, it’s not Elon who’s out of touch. It’s the advertisers who are wrong! Just wait until all of Earth, apparently, hears of how these big mean advertisers killed the wondrous and righteous place named X. There will be outrage!.. so thinks Elon anyway. What a deluded moron.
Well… they used to at least :(
Yep, in 1975. We’ve been a bit of a puppet ever since.
They’re well aware. Famous Australians like Russell Crowe and Phar Lap would back up this claim.
But hopefully he’ll be caught dead in one.
