Customer: This looks exciting. I'd like to join the party!
2K/Gearbox: Show us your ticket.
*Customer shows a Steam ticket*
2K/Gearbox: Hahahaha. That's rich. Come back in a year. You can't join THIS party.
Customer:

No PC gamer should be okay with this blocked-off access level BS.

That is a *terrible* analogy.
"I want into the big concert"
"let's see your ticket"
"Here is my ticket to another concert"
"You need the right ticket to get in."
"Whaaaaah! I paid good money for this other ticket!"

Steam ticket? FFS the whining here is reaching critical mass.

It meant a year ago it didn't matter WHAT ticket you had because the game was available wherever because third-party exclusives didn't exist. "Tickets please" is something Epic created.

My analogy is perfect for the point expressed.

I'm wondering what innovations people were hoping for that would improve it over BL2. Other than setting, do series like BF and GTA really innovate version to version?

So, you're perfectly fine with someone accusing you of being a pedophile in that case. You're not worried about the repercussions because it's not true, right? Try thinking these things through first, sport.

How do you suggest someone stop them from doing that?

Slander and libel laws. Which, incidentally, we have.

And even setting aside suicide, does being a shitty person, as you limit this to, justify a personal and professional Armageddon? Maybe it does, but the speed that we go from accusation to DESTROY THE REST OF THEIR LIFE is disgusting.

It's not like there's any way to control the degree of the response. It's entirely based on how many people are listening to the person making the accusation, and the relative strength of the reputation of the person being accused. If someone with a ton of people listening to them wants to accuse you of some terrible shit, then I don't see how you can stop them. And if the accusations are true, it seems unspeakable to me to entertain the idea of silencing them.

Okay so in this situation, Alec Holowka was accused of abusive behavior in his relationship. From what I can tell, he wasn't even accused of anything illegal. Just shitty controlling behavior.

I see a lot of people in this thread and the previous ones parroting "Innocent until proven guilty" or "due process" and other shit like that. What is the "due process" for someone accused of something that is just shitty, rather than illegal?

What more could you possibly want beyond accusations and corroboration of the alleged behavior? You can't have a trial. No matter how guilty the person is, there will never be a definitive verdict. What's the standard of evidence you need to be able to let people know that someone is a piece of shit?

I see a lot of complaining about #MeToo and the state of things, but no one putting forward any alternatives besides an attitude that boils down to "Dont Believe Victims Without Video Evidence"

The shooting mechanics are tight, the movement is a bit floaty, the powers are a bit underwhelming, the loot is mostly blah. Grinding encouraged.

*EDIT* Seems a little unclear from the descriptions, but some of the expansions/seasons from battle.net are NOT going to be in the steam version? Or does that new Expansion cover ALL previous expansions?

Basically it looks like if you missed out on Curse of Osirus, Warmind, Forsaken, you have to buy them off Battle.net before Oct 1st or you cannot get them on Steam? No granular options to just buy Forsaken or whatever seem to exist either. Oh well.

I picked this up free and have yet to play it. Guess I had better get on it. I haven't logged into Battle.net for a while.

This isn't even funny anymore...

Who are the yahoos who keep giving this moron money?

I'm part of the problem, sorry. Grandma died last year and left me $30K. So in her honor, I went out and picked up the Legatus Package. I just couldn't help myself. It was like I was watching someone else do it from the third person when I clicked the "purchase" button. I don't know what came over me. But I'm in all the way now. I'm living in Robert's universe to the hilt.

Actually, just kidding.

What a cluster fuck... Destiny 2 was a milk run and about a 1/5th the content of Destiny 1 in release and now these assholes quit Activision (which is good) so everyone has to move their shit manually? Like why do I have to re-sign up for this?

I bought the base game when it came out and it was quite disappointed. I recently tried to replay it and while it had improved some, it was still the clunky, flat experience it had always been.

Had they done a Homeworld style game with the BSG IP, that would have been awesome.
