And it just keeps going. There's so much, and so much of it ties back and stays relevant to the end.

It definitely is a consequence of his own actions. I just think that's a separate thing.

His ear is fine.

The thing is, feeling empathy for him isn't for him. It's not about what the victim would have wanted or what he would have done if the roles were reversed.

It's a reaction that you feel because you know what it's like to be a person.

When it comes right down to it, people should have the right to be stupid and say stupid things. I hate watching my country collapse around me, and you can certainly draw a line from this asshole to our current situation, but words shouldn't be punished by death.

I get why it happened and why people are celebrating, but he wasn't one of the ones with blood on his hands. Figuratively, I mean.

Costs aren't down. Game development is more expensive than ever.

In any specific case where a game goes to $70 and the difference all goes into the CEO's pocket, then yeah, I agree, let's all boycott. But the employees at games studios need to get paid too.

Ultimately, ten extra bucks just isn't that unreasonable for a video game. Looking at the historical prices of games, they've been lower than they ever used to be even though costs have gone up.

Would I rather pay $60? Of course. But it's just silly to act like a $70 game is some grave sin against gamer kind.

I didn't know Germany had that many cities.

 

And I definitely didn't accidentally step on any crayons in the process.

 
 

See? Nobody cares.
