Anything spewing out of Bitchfords mouth is nothing but toxic shit. Take anything he says with a heavy dose of salt. And gargle in the morning twice.

Snagged.

ditto's

nobody cares if you snagged it.

Nobody cares that you don't care that I snagged it.

It's turtles all the way down from here.

So stop telling people you snagged a freebie. Nobody cares what you grabbed. People don't care if someone saved 15% or more on their car insurance.

The first story is quite lengthy but basically alleges both rape and some sort of industry blacklisting. Blue provided a brief summary so I'm not sure what the problem is. The second centers around Zoe Quinn and is totally unrelated.

As for the allegations themselves, I'll just re-iterate what I usually say and that without criminal prosecution its he/she said situations that don't seem to go anywhere. I don't subscribe to automatic belief/callout culture, we have legal systems in place to handle rapists and prevent them from hurting others. Once prosecuted we also have avenues such as impact statements and support systems to help victims move on and receive ongoing support if needed. It's not a perfect system but it's what we have. Callout culture is more flawed as every false accusation undermines overall credibility of all victims and adds to the burden of those that want to come forward. Both of these allegations seem to have happened in Canada which to my limited understanding of Canadian law has no statute of limitations so all the more reason to talk to the authorities instead of twitter.

About sums it up for me.
If it can be proven in a court of law then the perpetrators deserve to suffer the full weight of the law.

That pesky innocent until PROVEN guilty thing.

However it always makes me suspicious revealing such alleged crimes on "social media" vs. "the relevant Authorities" (referring to Zoe Quinn only.)

This was like the only game on Steam that actually made me wish I had a VR headset to try out. HOWEVER,I'm not the type to buy hardware for 1 game so I don't think I'll ever get a chance to check it out.

For someone who lives in a country that gets screwed on regional pricing you'd be looking for deals too via key resellers. Blame the greedy publishers for this mess. Hell, I remember for Mass Effect 3 EA was selling it for half-price in Mexico through Origin so I, and a ton of other people, just used a VPN to buy a key and saved myself 50% more than what I would have paid here for the exact same product. Fuck the pubs.

This argument gets so tiring, the current micro-transactions currently are nothing ore them cosmetic items that can be obtained by just playing the game. You dont have to buy anything to play the game or any missions.

Whats going to evolve now will be much worst. They will be adding all kinds of stuff that will be game breaking items. Watch and see!

the plan is to keep the game at full price for longer than is typical and offer free DLC, rather than lower the price over time and charge for additional content

I doubt that would work because the market seems to favor new releases with initial sales which degrade over time.
