So is this where we are now? Forget GHZ, lets see how many cores we can stuff into a microscopic space? I wonder how much better those 8 cores would be at, oh, 7ghz? or 10ghz? Because that's where we should be by now. Hell, BY NOW, using Moore's Law, we should be at 50ghz. We're being held back! Conservatives? Liberals? Illuminati? Vulcans? I dunno, but cores are not our future! This industry was built on pushing the speed limit, MHZ then GHZ and now we've been hovering around 4ghz for more than a decade! This industry is stagnant and it's a fucking disgrace!

Blues, you would be doing everyone a favor if you dont post anything about EA or this crap infested game. Does anyone really care about this game or anything EA related anymore?

I streamed a bunch of this last night. It has a few interface quality of life issues and it doesn't have the tongue-in-cheek humour and stellar soundtrack of the Tropico games but this is a really cool and different take on the city builder concept. My stream was over 3 hours and I wanted to keep going.

Should I remaster my quote as well?

Yeah, never played it myself but I know quite a few people around here seem to have a lot of love for it. I could get down on this when it hits $20 or less.

I can't shake the feeling with the inevitable government intervention to curb publishers' unchecked avarice with their exploitative and predatory gambling mechanics, this loot box bubble is going to burst sooner or later, and it's not going to be pretty.

I wonder if this applies to most of the streamers who make their money by the use of calling them 'donations' ??


I will bet that it is either EA or UBI that will be the first to put a lawsuit on someone over this....

So people are no longer entitled to their opinions about the products they paid for? gg corporatocracy.

Opinion yes, being a piece of shit and insulting 360° is not opinion, is just being a toxic twat.

Have you ever notice that yes, behind a monitor one can talk smack all he wants, but if he was to do that in real life, he would get a punch in the teeth?

Yeah and the person doing the punching ends up losing their job, home, and going to prison for a few years. People have the right to express negative opinions, particularly as consumers. The fact that Blizzard thinks they have the right to dictate what people can and can't say is massive overreach, wholly arrogant, and illegal. Can't wait until they get sued for this, and it'll happen.

It sounded more to me like seeing people being assholes in a match that someone then posted to YouTube, and they ban that account even if not reported, no? Rather than people being assholes in comments sections of YouTube.

So what sort of discount do you get it if you return a spectre/meltdown afflicted cpu when you purchase one that has the "fix"?

I just don't understand how you can just lie through your teeth like that? I'd feel like a dirty whore that no amount of hot showers would ever make clean again. They didn't really understand? Yeah, sure. They pulled it? Yeah after Bob Iger told them to. Lies and damn lies. Why people giving these motherfuckers money is beyond me.

Finally, W3 locked content behind a season pass, that's the point. There's no maps, heroes, weapons etc that are hidden behind a paywall with SWBFII.

You also seem to forget that CDPR did like SIXTEEN free DLCs for the Witcher 3. With weapons, skins etc. There was no content locked behind a season pass. There was no weapon in Witcher 3 that you could look at it in a menu, but then know you'd have to pay to get it. The two expansions they released were actual expansions, not piecemeal shit that completed the original game.

And all of that is ignoring that the Witcher 3 was already probably the largest RPG released for the price of $60.

So yeah, how dare they make fun at EA's expense when EA finds itself in a shitstorm of its own making.

Seriously, go pick on someone else. Trying to equate CDPR to EA is the most ludicrous argument imaginable.


Yes, EA is going to want to make money to earn back any future content they do, which is understandable, but they could do so in a far better manner than trying to squeeze every frigging dime out of their customers with their lootbox crap.

Nothing of what EA does is in any way, shape or form relatable to what CDPR does.
