I agree, this is why I consider myself a 'patient gamer'... I don't want to reward releasing half-done games, or trickling out DLC that should have been included in the original release.

I had to re-evaluate my stance on this when Baldur's Gate 3 was released because I really wanted to play it, but was going to wait until it went on sale. Then the reviews starting coming in saying that it was a full game, no major issues, and no planned DLC. I immediately purchased it because **THAT **is the behavior I want to reward, and I'm very glad that I did.

That was just his lawyer trying to downplay the risk of someone else doing this so that his client isn't used as an example to try to deter others. I would think that 6 months in prison probably isn't going to deter many people who would put forth the effort to spend a decade working on a project like this.

So... my dreams of introducing the European Hedgehog to the American Midwest would violate federal and state laws as well as international treaties? Damn.

I got really excited that he was returning as a writer. A guest appearance is cool, but I'd like to see what he could do running the writing room for a season.

I'm shocked that Apple didn't just make the crease more obvious and consider it a design element and advertise it as something the consumer wants.

There needs to be extremely stiff penalties on companies that lose customer data. It should be a large enough penalty that companies are afraid to keep customer data.

I feel like this isn't 100% accurate, so I fixed it.

Jobs are going to be lost

And it is now a self-fulfilling prophesy because a lot of people just lost out on working on his studio expansion project.

I swore off buying 'new' games close to their release dates because I was sick of overpriced, unfinished games that are just trying to squeeze every cent out of me. Then BG3 came out and everyone raved how great it was, but I stuck to my principles and said I'd play it a year or so after its release. Then someone pointed out to me that the game plays well, has no charge for online play, doesn't have microtransactions, and is complete. So I bought it, figuring that this is the type of game we should be rewarding, and I've not been disappointed.

Prompt___a ((realistic photo)) featuring a burrito-shaped ((rocket wearing a ((sombrero)))), orbiting the moon. The rocket should resemble a burrito, complete with tortilla texture, ((tortilla chip fins)), cheese sauce exhaust flames, and ((giant sombrero on top)), highly detailed, excitement and whimsy

If those photos existed they would be sent to every news organization on the planet in seconds

Which is why we have so many photos from Nazi concentration camps, because they knew that there needed to be proof or people wouldn't believe it.
