Sure if we were talking about a reasonable, independent ratings agency with the public good as its primary guiding factor. But both the ESRB and PEGI are private, industry run and funded ‘self-regulatory’ agencies that operate with the industries own self interests as its primary guiding factor.

“Oh yessum I’ll absolutely deliberately lower my profits for the safety of my customer, you bet!” People who think business has any other motivating incentive than profit are the dumbest kind of bootlicker and it makes me so sad.

It’s not even a referee, it’s three shareholders in a zebra print trench coat.

The suit is effectively not about the money at all. It’s about setting a precedent in Japanese court to basically allow Nintendo to patent whatever they want, whenever they want, so they can go after and shut down competitors with ease. Pirate Software has a decent and short breakdown on their youtube channel iirc

Evade!

That link keeps returning an error

ITT: Dipshits, apparently.

If you watch the BTS stuff you’ll hear Zachary Levi talk about making it abundantly clear he made it to ‘the powers that be’ that he loved games and the fallout series in particular.

Mark Hamill in the wing commanders

Pretty much half the VO cast for New Vegas are or were big names in TV and film.

Tho that’s where the off the top of my head list ends

Man look at those reviews lol

Tbh the autotldr bots round here need serious improvement.

Yeah this article is a nothing burger

My favorite of these is Universal Paperclips

Two have been jailed. Cooke for 18m and Baugh for 5y. There is a third named person that has not been charged but was fired.

If this gets more confirmed gods I hope they take Bandai Nampo to forking task over this. This is when the union needs to step up and protect its members.

Why should those be free?

One of the other nice things ab X3 is there’s a crap ton of super detailed tutorials and guides out there. The one down side to X3 is just that some of the links on the Egosoft mod forum are no longer working so some mods are no longer available.

Once you have a handle on the game def look into adding some mods. There’s tons from simple QOL mods to basically a complete rework of the game into the star wars universe.

I couldn’t really say. There are thing ab X3 that I really missed in X4. I would honestly say to spend some time watching videos ab both games, especially tutorials. If you haven’t played any of the X games, this is the best tit bit I can give to give a sense of the game.

For x3 they released a bonus dlc/mod that adds ablut half a dozen pieces of equipment and ship upgrades. Just one of those pieces of equipment, a bit of ship software that lets you set up automatic supplying of multiple factories. Also comes with an IRL 47 page instruction manual…

X3 also got a full fledged free expansion dlc 13 years after its original release.

I would say start with X3 but that’s purely out of bias.

I picked up X4: Foundations cause of the steam sale, and while its fantastic, my cpu is still too old to run it properly lol. So i went back to play X3 again and hot damn is it just as good and even cheaper. So definitely recommend both of those!
