My first reaction to Concord’s record-breaking failure was sympathy for all the staff who had worked on and polished the game for years. All that dedication, passion, and effort, wasted.

Then, I found out the game had been live service, and my reaction could be simplified to one word: GOOD.

Will 4.0 include mining for copium?

Was it merely done to kiss up to China?

Paying for early access isn’t any different from preordering. People will never learn.

Lots of bigoted edgelords have lots of management positions… they just aren’t actually on 4chan.

…now you shouldn’t get any more bombshell texts from extended family, in the game at least.

Okay, that’s a good line.

The industry has created this problem. They’re the ones who got players used to abundant patches and expansions. It’s not fair to blame them now.

Isn’t that condition illegal, and thus unenforceable (at least in the U.S.)?

You know what would be even better for the long term? A large variety of games with less bullshit. Suck it, Microsoft.

Why is Antarctica on the list? Is it considered a country?

Well, the “gets paid in pizza” bit made me chuckle
