@Shebuka: I don't know. I'm kinda right there with him and, oddly, I really don't feel that I'm missing all that much. There's no shortage of great games to play without having to jump through hoops for companies who want to feel special and host their own clients/have their own stores. Sure, part of me would like to check out Apex Legends, and Battlefield had long been my favorite of the competitive multiplayer military shooters, and I'd be curious to see if The Division 2 is more enjoyable as a single-player game, but I don't feel like any of those games and what they offer is so unique and so compelling that I'm willing to deal with the hassle of installing and running a dozen different clients. Which isn't to say there may not come the day when EA or Epic or Blizzard or Ubisoft finally releases something that I so desperately want to play that I break, but...it hasn't happened yet, and I honestly don't feel like I'm missing out.
How was there not a follow-up of, "Yeah, it was scary with movies and music, and even though we've mostly been lulled in a false sense of security regarding those things, it still remains that way. But, back to Stadia, how about you answer the f***ing question?"
Seriously, I would've had a lot more respect for this asshat and Google in general if he'd just been direct and said, "Well, obviously, you'd lose all your purchases. I mean, maybe we could work out some sort of deal with Steam, Epic, Microsoft, and/or Sony where you could transfer your digital license to a platform of your choice, but...look, let's be honest. Google will have your money. The publishers will have your money. And, at that point, nobody is really going to give a good golly damn about your consumer rights. But we'll have covered our ass in the fine print, in that user agreement that nobody reads. What I'm saying is, you'll be f***ed. Now you want to play some games in the cloud or what?"
I might almost be tempted into buying an Xbox One X if it came in purple, like that Fortnite S version. And if it came with a game other than Fortnite. And if they weren't still asking $500 for it. With 'next gen' on the horizon, it's time to start slashing these prices. (I was actually shocked to see that the PS4 Slim is still $299. I honestly thought it was only $199.)
I'm a bit disappointed. There aren't a lot of amazing games at ridiculously cheap prices, and the handful of games I was most looking forward to picking up are only 20-30% off, which isn't much of a sale. But I have plenty of stuff I ought to be playing already without adding more to the pile.
And, yeah, I'm not loving this minigame. I think it's cool that they always have these sorts of things to spice of their sales, but this one just falls flat for me.
Of course, the greatest crime of all is that Netflix gathered up the original prints and all the copies, on both VHS and DVD, across the entire world and burned them so this new version is the only version. (Though, I was fortunate enough to get my boxset crammed up my ass before they broke down my door. Don't worry, folks. I'll get torrents up for all you guys once I rinse off the discs.)
Whether real or fictional, I don't care about the size of a woman's breasts, or her bra. It's more important that she has a pretty face and, in words of Al Pacino, A GREAT ASS!!! (Perhaps one of the only times where three exclamation points are warranted.)
The biggest mistake was not making an actual Fallout game. The second biggest was jumping straight to forced online multiplayer instead of taking a half-step with just optional co-op, testing some multiplayer ideas and systems while seeing how the market felt about those changes. I know plenty of people who would've eagerly embraced a proper Fallout game that they could play alone but had the option to play with friends, but wanted nothing to do with a Fallout that was chasing the half-assed MMO trappings of Destiny.
