Sadly breaking the law is legal when you have enough money in the bank.

I’m not saying it’s the correct decision. I’m saying they’re a corp and corps always go the route of pride. They won’t admit fault, certainly not after the public reason they gave for firing the people in the first place.

That’s not going to change the situation because it would now look like R* admitting fault if they were to re-hire the people who got fired.

It would make them amazingly relevant again though. Not owning shit is so 2024
- Comment on The wait for GTA 6 has now been so long it must be some kind of record - right? [Eurogamer] 1 week ago:
And if you did, they wouldn’t be able to inherit your digital licence.

Anything with a 3 in the title from Valve would cause waves at this point, doesn’t matter what the words prior are.

Koalas would be Bogan. “Luk at mee n ah’ll scratch ye eyes owt ya pommy cant!”
- Comment on Saints Row's original design director is pitching a "grounded" 70s open world prequel with absolutely no dildobats 1 week ago:
They may not want what it’ll likely be if it ever got made but they likely want what it could be.

There are people who don’t want GTA VI

Look to the past. People are constantly doing the same dumb shit.
- Comment on Just in case you thought reviving dead games seemed easy enough, GOG had to hire a private investigator to find an IP holder living off the grid for its preservation program 3 weeks ago:
Worst case scenario, we quickly find out who owns it when someone pops up trying to claim their money.
- Comment on Microsoft support for Windows 10 officially ends today, but a third of Steam players still use it | VGC 4 weeks ago:
Not to mention general support from software companies. I recently endeavoured to try Bazzite only to find out I can’t install my VPN’s client on it because there’s not a flatpak version. Given a handful of other programs I specifically like and would need to find workarounds or alternatives to, I won’t be jumping over anytime soon.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 4 weeks ago:
I have to agree with this. The game is gorgeous and I enjoy the general setting and plot but I absolutely loath the navigation system that just about everyone and their pet turtle says is amazing and I thought it went on for too long. By the end of the main story (and having done most of the side stuff alobg the way) I was so done with it I didn’t even bother touching the DLC.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 4 weeks ago:
I found the game a lot more approachable once I modded the toffee-tier equipment out of the game.
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 4 weeks ago:
TW3, and The Witcher as a series in general, is one of those slow burn games. Its strong point is the characters and building story. That said, given the time investment required to get to that point, I can’t blame anyone for bouncing off if they weren’t already into the series.
- Comment on Would I sound taller if I gave my height as 6'-4"? 5 weeks ago:
There’s no requirement for a person to be 6’ to realise OP isn’t near that height. Most people know their own height or at least an approximation. Someone 5’5" will notice this “6’ person” is only 3 inches taller than them and immediately know they’re a liar.
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 1 month ago:
Then there are the ones where the writer thinks they’re funny…
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 1 month ago:
Slice of life mostly has real names or spins on real names. Fantasy has fantasical names or ones the author thought sounded fantastical. Then lots of in-between.
- Comment on Sony is reportedly set to release an updated PS5 DualSense controller with a removable battery | VGC 1 month ago:
The term “removable battery” typically means there’s no disassembly required. Or at least nothing any more complicated than a battery cover. As much as it’s an easy process for those with even minor mechanical skills but your initial wording creates the sort of slippery slope that led to us needing a government to step in so that phones and other devices would have removable batteries again.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 1 month ago:
You described eating meat as messing with your brain. Even if general effects are considered positive, it’s not exactly great and the crazy vegans (specifically vegans who are crazy, not calling all vegans crazy) would certainly sell it as messing with your brain chemistry.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 1 month ago:
Undercooked, not uncooked. The parasite is still active even in rare meat. It needs to be done to medium before it’s truly safe (grey all the way through and easily slips off the fork when inserted).
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 1 month ago:
Beyond sounding like absolute anti-carnivore hogwash or placebo, it sounds like a weirdly accelerated case of that parasite you can get from eating undercooked red meat.
- Comment on what is a word like yaoi or yuri, but for boy x girl? 1 month ago:
Using classic genre labels, would it not just be romance?
- Comment on Does more expensive phones have better reception? 1 month ago:
No. Price has almost very little to do with reception and more to do with the general finish of the product. It used to mean more features too but there’s a rather pronounced bell curve on that aspect these days. If you’ve got a specific device in mind, GSMArena should be able to give you all the information you need.
- Comment on How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth 1 month ago:
Something similar to the spray they use on animals after a surgery? It’s safe for consumption but it tastes god-awful to stop the animal licking the wound.
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 1 month ago:
And not from a shitty Reddit link

- Comment on Nintendo now has a US patent on summoning characters and making them battle for you | VGC 2 months ago:
I’ve grown to hate that famous quote “It’s not personal, it’s just business.” because it’s almost exclusively used to excuse people when they choose to act like sociopaths.
