I’m speaking from ignorance but isn’t the server backend often licensed and they couldn’t release it if they wanted, even as binaries? Granted, going forward they’d have to make those considerations before they accept restrictive licenses in core parts of their game. And the market for those licenses will change accordingly. So there core of your argument is correct.

I don’t think the console market is okay for a variety of reasons. This particular issue however, not being able to publish whatever the fuck you want under someone else’s brand, is very much not high on them. The other reasons, the anticompetitive nature of the industry, is what makes it a problem. Most certainly not someone deciding they don’t want their product marketed with fucking around with corpses.

And relieving the developers of the agency of their own vision is specious. They made a decision. Obviously this new direction is within what they’re trying to deliver or they wouldn’t be doing it. The most salient point here is that the amount of changes they seem to be making are negligible. Dismemberment of living people fine, dismemberment of corpses gone. They claim they’ve preserved their vision through limited changes. Everybody else is playing like the loss of that is a fundamental betrayal. It’s fucking ridiculous.

Oh I don’t dispute that but my stupidity doesn’t tend to be crying about censorship over the fact that you can’t dismember bodies after they’re already dead. Company decides it wants to adapt to a particular market and people act like their personal vision of a world where you can dismember all the corpses you want was attacked.

Gamers really are fucking dumb

Chenoweth has valid points worthy of debate but I have to say, I’m never going to get my political philosophy on direct action from the fucking beeb.

I’m including an Amazon link because I can’t imagine anyone actually following my comment and buying this piece of shit, but if it helps: don’t give Bezos money.

What are they trying to buy them before auction or something?

I was reincarnated in another world as an ojisan summoner.

I’m not a misogynist but anybody who consistently scores top on a public server pretty much is a pubstomper asshole by definition. And I have certainly been that. You don’t do it for the challenge, or you’d be doing league and more competitive modes.

Nobody ever claimed pubstompers were good people. We pubstomp precisely because we’re not

You’ll need an audience with a much larger inferiority complex if you want that sort of claim to resonate.

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

Usually a birth certificate will suffice if you don’t have one. They have to verify they can legally employ you. I didn’t have my social for awhile and used my birth certificate. Became a problem when Puerto Rico invalidated all birth certificates though for a time. Had one idiot say they couldn’t accept a PR birth certificate for citizenship once though.

You can keep sticking to your guns about it being a legitimate government but you’re only hurting yourself with it.

business cannot survive without customers after all

That’s a really funny thing to say about a cemetery for the military dead.

Welcome to America.

Because externalities of lithium extraction like using aquifers for evaporation ponds and the pollution from the leftover brine aren’t included in the cost of new lithium production, thus making less environmentally impactful methods of recovery too expensive to justify.
