Wow. That is...monumentally fucking stupid.

I know the KSP2 dev effort has been a clusterfuck of epic proportions to the point that it makes the original KSP dev effort look sane, measured, and reasonable but goddamn!

Who the actual fuck thought "Hey, let's store temp values in the registry" was a good idea?

This game will never be completed until all the funding for it dries up. at that point the game will never be completed.

Even though in game economies can be directly adjusted by the devs, inflation always takes root.

Let me know when they ban twitter, facebook or the NSA.

Why would they ban the national spy services? It's common practice to ban foreign ones while protecting your own.

The point is none of the actors mentioned get warrants before collecting personal data, domestic or foreign.

As far as the "people who want to use TikTok know how to use a VPN" thing, you guys have way too much faith in the technological competence of the average internet user to have ever worked in a support function.

I agree. I actually lots of people have heard of a VPN, especially after COVID work from home, since they likely had to log into one to work. But I doubt most understand it can be used to avoid ISP and cookie tracking, and can be used to access geofenced content.

I'm not on board with the abandonment of Win7.

I cannot think of a worse use for a laptop than turning in it to a locked down conduit for Google to shovel their shit at you through.

I bought it on Steam . Do they still offer a refund across services?

Very unlikely, but you could try Steam refunds anyway.
Depending of your time playing the game, worst case, you get a no.

WTF, literally just bought this a week ago...

If you buy an EGS game within 30 days of it becoming a freebie, you coud ask for a refund.

https://www.epicgames.com/site/en-US/store-refund-policy
"What if a product I recently purchased goes on sale?
You can refund your purchase for a full refund and immediately re-purchase the product as long as it abides by the above guidelines. We do not consider this to be refund abuse. "

Imagine not playing Portal 2 and having this strong of an opinion about it.
