With the possible exception of games that were canceled, those are all examples of super scummy nonsense.
Wait what? Background checks on everyone that goes in a Walmart?? That’s an insanely large number of people.
Even the Capitalists are pissed about the rent-seeking coming for their profits from every angle.
What are you even talking about?
Most people do not have the option to purchase any of the things you mentioned such as stocks or bonds, as they live paycheck to paycheck, or something close to it. The loans are taken as a matter of necessity, so that much is still relevant.
And yet here we are, sustaining it. Unless you can convince anybody that won’t continue, you won’t have much luck arguing against it.
That’s less of an issue with the second game, as you can ignore the timer, but yeah that’s part of why I never really tried the first game.
How is this a relevant question? Nobody said anything about some governing body. There have been discussions on many instances about whether to federate with them or not, and it’s accurate to say that some people think we should.
What they’re actually doing is super shady, and reason enough to cause concern without exaggerating.
Agreed, but the article title implies that they are in fact currently revealing names, which is just not the case.
I swear some people are just contrary.
It seems as though nobody in this thread actually read the article. They are not revealing user names on the site. The objection here is having the real name as part of your private profile data, in case of a future data breach. It’s a real concern, but orders of magnitude less serious than what everybody is assuming.
Shame on Ars for the misleading clickbait headline.
Nobody is talking about sending US troops to Ukraine, and nobody but Russia is responsible for this war. What is there to negotiate? Ukraine has a right to self defense and Russia has no justification for what they’ve done.
Nobody said the Ukrainian conflict started in 22, but funny how you bring up 2014 and don’t mention Russia illegally invading and then annexing Crimea. If that had any legitimacy, why did their troops not proudly fly their flag?
And what is this irrelevant nonsense about Pearl Harbor? We’re speaking of how WW2 began, not how the US entered the war, namely Hitlers bullshit justifications for his invasion.
Funny that you reply to this with the same script you’ve been following throughout the thread. Very genuine behavior!
Other side of what “view”? It’s not in dispute that Russia invaded Ukraine, and you haven’t addressed the fact that it’s not only “legacy” media reporting on that. Why shouldn’t we view this “legacy style” imperialistic aggression as a major threat? The last time this happened it turned into WWII, and many would argue appeasement made that possible.
It’s actually a spiritual successor to a game called Titan Quest, which had the same dual class system. It’s a ton of fun, though pretty dated in terms of quality of life for ARPGs.
The person you replied to was talking about sustenance. Read again.
You don’t have a point, you’re just here to stir up shit for fun. I don’t know why you enjoy that, maybe you should consider why you feel that way.
hate to be that guy…
Are you sure?
I remember drooling over those articles as a kid, they looked so cool! In retrospect, I think it’s clear they made the right move but teenage me was disappointed.
