This is going to go the same way as self-checkout in stores: everyone spots the problem, will complain, nothing will change. You're all fucked if you don't beat any amazon robot on sight from here on out (but you won't).

Yep. If Google is disabling something you know about, it's only because they now have a way to do it that you can't detect and have no control over.

Don't forget to update your software!!!11

From my position I've not played such an overrated game in years. I gave up after a while in the first underdark adventure (figuring there are likely more than that). The entire presentation felt like I was watching a bunch of normal people roleplay the parts. I can totally understand how that might be absolutely perfect, because that's absolutely what D&D is, but I never felt transported to another world, I disliked most of my party, and the sexuality was absurdly front and center to the point of being annoying. Before I had reached the Druid settlement at the beginning, half my party expressed their interest in sleeping with me. It wasn't too much longer after that point that every single character was telling me I was the most amazing person they'd ever met, and all of them wanted to sleep with me. I don't like describing things as pathetic but it truly felt like it was. It pleases me so many people are enjoying the game, and giving life to a genre I grew up with, but I can not stand BG3 personally.
No offense to those loving it. I just thought I'd share my counter-experience.

When was the last time you saw a motherboard that allowed you to disable onboard Wi-Fi? I've not owned one for my last two desktops. It's not a feature any longer.

This sounded intriguing so I went to GOG to check it out. I found the game for $50, along with no less than 22 other purchasable items, from "crafting sets" to miscellaneous DLC episodes.

And this just released? Immediate loss of faith.

"... kind of a fun take on it rather than being, ‘It’s a me, a Mario.'”

No one wanted a take on it. They wanted Mario.

"This revives a couple of mid-90s platformers..."

Very well-received and classic jRPGs. Definitely not platformers.

Correct, it's going on everywhere, which is why it's important to call them out and stop them. And then stop those who replace them.

I'm guessing these guys are going to have to find a whole new line of work. That or leave the country.

Unfortunately, there are enough men like them in the industry that they'll all find a home under the roof of similar developers.

That's fantastic! No one wants you!

As a veteran, and still supporting through 25+years of DoD/Federal service I have zero desire to work for a company that pushes "woke" bullshit.

Found the Parler user.

Ive never even heard of this game, and I've read multiple "top racing sims" articles since it's release. wtf.

I thought it WAS shut down. That's what has kept me from playing since Oculus bought them (aside from the introduction of their spy-allowing, internet-connection-requiring EULA changes).

Not that awards shows aren't bullshit anyhow, but this is like someone showing movie previews at the Oscars or Emmys.

So many reviews for such a mediocre looking game.

I don't understand where this myth got started.

Definitely not a myth. You either got lucky, or you work for them.

nVidia has become one of the creepiest companies around, and acts like a total dick to their consumers most of the time, hiding it behind hype and polygons.

However, never, ever buy an ATI/AMD GPU. Never buy one. Never. Never. Never.

There should be a separate court system for butt-hurt lying gamers.

I really feel like the whole FF IV re-development fiasco was a truly positive example for developers, showing you can return to the drawing board post-release and re-make a solid game.
I don't give a fuck how much money they waste on it if it comes out a good game in the end. EA needs to suck some cocks besides their own for once.
