  • Don’t forget taking forever for an initial patch release, despite there being multiple game breaking bugs.

    The state the game was at release was absolutely awful.

    The only folks who kept playing that I know were folks grinding for the final levels/achievements/weapons. Which consisted of playing in unenjoyable ways like using bad load outs, doing stupid crap like tagging a billion guards, etc. Who wants to pay money for an unenjoyable grind?

    They released a decent patch, some new content and DLC but everyone has already moved on. They totally screwed themselves, sucks it’s an IP that I like, but more games need to fail like this so publishers stop doing the same bullshit



  • Yeah, not what we want to be supporting. The Posse Comitatus act is there for a reason. I’d rather we don’t start supporting use of the federal military as law enforcement.

    And I hate to say it, but pretty sure the reason they haven’t been activated federally is because they’re worried calling that bluff might not work out well and escalate the confrontation, potentially leading to something worse.

    Frankly this is awful. But also something manufactured to sound a lot worse. From a states rights perspective this isn’t that different from states legalizing marijuana while it’s federally controlled and illegal.




  • Why should a company get to use my work and data for free to train their AI, for which they’ll make a ton of money, without compensating me. At a minimum they should be informing me so I can make that choice with full knowledge.

    This isn’t a university or educational research either, this is one of the largest companies in the world with Billions of dollars in annual revenue. And to top it off, I already have to pay them for their operating system and annually for their office suite. So not only am I paying them for their product, they’ll then steal my data to train an AI to try and sell that to us too?

    That’s not even taking into account any concerns with “AI might replace me at my job” that a number of folks have.
