    That is only very selectively true though, considering that the party responsible for starting those wars is the one playing pacifist now. And if there is one thing we know about GOP it is that they are definitely not pacifist

    Don't let any company which chose to get involved in this blatant scam get exonerated just because they dumped it later. They still tried to pull the scam in the first place, and they only dropped it because they didn't make any money on it, not because it was a scam.

    You are making the mistake of conflating game quality with profit. He did not lessen the profitability of the games, on the contrary, and that is what the board cares about, not the quality of games.

    They have a very dedicated flock of whales (the industry term for microtransaction addicts). They know they have them hooked, and they are obviously intent on bleeding those whales dry for everything they own.

    I don't care how much I liked a game, if any publisher acted in this way I would never consider touching any of their games. This is absolutely criminal behaviour.

    I don't really understand what it is about HMMIII you don't get. It is a relatively simple game concept, and the fundamentals has remained largely unchanged from iteration to iteration. I personally prefer III over most of the later ones exactly because of its simplicity (and none of those ugly 3D graphics).

    For me what mostly antiquates a game is if it was primarily based on graphics which have been outdated, otherwise I don't really have a problem even with much older games. But then again I also grew up playing games in the 80s, so I have been used to those my entire life. Some of the games which fascinated me on account of the complexity, like the early Ultima games (at least I and II), doesn't exactly stand revisits, because they were very barebones compared to the later games in the franchise. Ultima V still holds up beautifully, simply because it is so complex behind those primitive graphics.

    Russia doesn't pay people for that sort of thing, especially not a person like Musk. Instead they extort. Possibly over rare materials.

    Anyway I don't think Russia was part of Musks takeover of twitter, that stemmed from Musks own arrogant stupidity, but they certainly did become one afterwards.

    I really don't understand this constant complaint that comes up whenever a news story about Musk is posted. Of course it is newsworthy that the (once) richest man on Earth is doing this, and providing news about what these billionaire oligarchs are up to is definitely part of a relevant newsfeed.

    Keeping their actions in the dark only helps normalising their existence and behaviour.

    It is of course marketing aimed at Star Wars fans who have never played a strategy game before and who may be reluctant to buy it because it is a strategy game.

    It doesn't bode well for the strategy aspect of the game. Or maybe it is just PR bs, who knows.

    Fanny - Hey Bulldog (1971) www.youtube.com

    Fanny was an American all-female band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first notable rock groups to be made up entirely of women, the third to sign with a major label (after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers), and the first to release an album on a major label (in 1970). They achieved two top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and released five albums. Sisters June Millington (born April 14, 1948, Manila, Philippines) and Jean Millington (born May 25, 1949, Manila, Philippines) moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California in 1961. In high school they formed an all-girl band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt was later replaced by Alice de Buhr (born September 4, 1949, Mason City, Iowa). When the Svelts disbanded, de Buhr and Lee formed another all-female group called Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band, which played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles. In January 1970, Nickey Barcley was asked to join Fanny as a singer and keyboardist. She was one of the main songwriters and lead singers in the group, and appeared on all their albums, adding soul, blues and funk influences to the group's overall sound.

    I'm on a different instance than this community and no comments are showing up for me, even though I can see that they exist when I visit the community while not logged in from the lemmy.world server. It also keeps being stuck on "Subscribe pending" and won't actually subscribe to the community. I have also had trouble posting anything about this problem here. Hopefully this gets through, as it is a heads up about why there may not be a lot of new users subscribing and engaging yet: They simply don't have access. Hopefully lemmy.world will fix its server load problems at some time, so users outside of the instance are able to participate properly in the community.

I don't know if it is connected to the "subscription pending" issue, but I have tried refreshing to make the subscription pending change into subscribed, but it doesn't happen. Edit: I just tried posting in the community in the vain hope of establishing a connection to it from here, but when I press the post button it just continously loads while the error message "SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data" keeps popping up in the corner.
