I might be wrong, but don't they plan or already do put anticheat into single player games so people don't cheat-in the various ingame currencies they have to buy XP boosts (where without them leveing is a crawl)?
There thou art... The Big Three. Thy faces, AAA Publishers. Thy actions barely worthy of the name. Didst truly believe thy ploy would succeed? Dist believe Jolly Roger's would not notice? Publishers thou may be, yet thou hast proven thyselves fools, every one. The supplication of Ubisoft. The whimper of Activision. The death mewl of Electronic Arts...
Degenerates like you belong in a Marty Robbins meme.
"Punitive action"? Every nation has a right to control their borders. Maybe if Russia didn't manufacture a crisis in a ceaseless destabilization effort there wouldn't be a need for such actions. But, quite honestly, "if Russia didn't" starts to become the "humanity now if Russia didn't" meme.
It's almost like that's my point. They're protesting that Finland reacts to hybrid warfare by Russia... by protesting in front of the Finnish parliament.
Of course they wouldn't do that in Moscow to stop the reason for the closure because they'd be clobbered into the pavement.
It's hard to distinguish the people and the government, when the people are protesting about what a democratic country did to protect it's citizens against an autocratic warmongering state, it's aggression and subversion stategies.
In other words, they should do a protest like that in Moscow, see what happens.
It's not russophobia. Nobody sane is afraid of russia anymore. But hostile actions must meet reactions.
On one hand true, on the other, a lot of those sponsorships advertise dubious things at best. I love the channels that just shill their own merch, but being entirely fair, you need to be at a certain revenue threshold to afford making said merch.
The problem with those, 3rd party sponsorships is that they're usually just either mobile games, F2P(P2W) MMOs, overpriced basic products or software advertised in the FUD way. Sorry, I don't care for Raid Shadow Legends, War Thunder, Manscaped or NordVPN. Especially the last one and the ones like it grind my gears because the sponsorships for that kind of product are borderline misinformation.
All of them, in some way, can be considered somewhat predatory. I'd rather buy a silly hat or a plushie, thank you very much.
Just don't get the packet with whatever warning applies to you, and you'll be fine 🤪
Well, speak of the devil. I was both. When one suffers, it is the way of life to spread suffering.
What would you like a person like me to say? That I was wrong? Sure. Do I still want to beat the everloving shit out of the people that perpetuated that against me first? Sure. Would I understand the guy that I was bullying to do it to me? 100%.
I suppose it would make it even. Regardless, the meme is applicable. Teachers knew and ignored the fact that I was bullied, but fuck me if I ever stood up for myself.
