Indeed. “Grab them by the pussy” and his mocking of a disabled person all made it very clear. Anyone still on board with him after that was a certified asshole.

All of his supporters in 2016 were also bad people. They saw the “grab them by the pussy” tape, they saw him make fun of a disabled person, and thought he was still a worthy candidate for their vote.

Don’t let any company which chose to get involved in this blatant scam get exonerated just because they dumped it later. They still tried to pull the scam in the first place, and they only dropped it because they didn’t make any money on it, not because it was a scam.

Always remember this.

Firefox + ublock still works perfectly fine for me.

The Banshees of Inisherin. I expected a comedy from the reviews, not something this dark.

You are making the mistake of conflating game quality with profit. He did not lessen the profitability of the games, on the contrary, and that is what the board cares about, not the quality of games.

A stick in a pile of flaming dogshit would have been a better president than Trump.

They have a very dedicated flock of whales (the industry term for microtransaction addicts). They know they have them hooked, and they are obviously intent on bleeding those whales dry for everything they own.

I don’t care how much I liked a game, if any publisher acted in this way I would never consider touching any of their games. This is absolutely criminal behaviour.

And people are rightly making fun of you for that moronic claim.

Not sure if it is actually better. They both seem to be equally horrible and incredibly stupid takes to me.

“The game isn’t boring for the reasons that you think, it is boring for these completely secret reasons.”

Ok.

The “but the game is good now” people are the ones who showed him he can do exactly the same thing again without any serious repercussions.

Yes, those poor scammers, won’t somebody think of them?

But they always intended to make it better and gradually did, because they are an actual gaming company with actual devs. The “devs” of The Day Before never did.

They are not “down”. They have run away with the money, they are scammers who have done this before and they don’t deserve any pity.

It is of course marketing aimed at Star Wars fans who have never played a strategy game before and who may be reluctant to buy it because it is a strategy game.

It doesn’t bode well for the strategy aspect of the game. Or maybe it is just PR bs, who knows.

I’m getting strong “free games you got when you buy cereal” vibes off of this. Or at least games whose sole purpose for existing is to promote something else.

Yeah but “putting a conservative amount of jelly on your toast” has nothing to do with being a conservationist, because “a conservative amount of government” isn’t what exist or has historically existed.

I think your analogy is fundamentally flawed, because just because the words (“conservative amount of jelly” and “being a political conservative”) are same, they don’t have anything else in common.

It is like when Republicans claim that the US isn’t a democracy, because they are afraid it means support for the Democrats. Two different words with different meanings.

Those are positions I consider conservative, and hold myself, that aren’t reflected in current Republican policy.

None of those are specific to conservatism, and I would say some of the opposites of those position, like opposition to gay marriage and abortion, has historically always been part of conservatism.

More interestingly would be to learn what specific conservative policies you subscribe to. Policies which you don’t think exists in other ideologies.

That is only because the cats sense that you don’t like them. If you actually liked them they behave pretty much as you experience dogs does to you.
