Yeah, I'm not sure who kicked it off but the Nintendo, Sega wars in the 80s kind of started with the quirky 'edgy' crap and that carried over into the PS/Xbox era. The Nintendo power mags had some seriously nonsense ads and the tv commercials kind of ran the gambit. A lot of 'we're gamers, parents just wouldn't understand' type ads. Here's one that even teen me was like 'wtf?' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-qBkWerZDg

Thankfully you can't even purchase it anymore on Steam.. What a debacle.

You are like the Columbo of unhinged white-truck theorists!

They keep a record of complaints as part of their CAPA. Any food related issues should always be reported, helps quality dept.s push for more funding.

OK, sometimes I see these and think 'that's not **that **terrible'. This is NOT one of those times...

Overspiced!? Umm..no. No it is not.

Hahah! This was us way back with EverQuest. She would die and have to do a corpse run and want to quit. Now she's a video game addict...

Huh, this wasn't even on my radar. Well, like the rest of the folks said, we can hope!

Yeah man. I can say I would like to think I would be that forgiving of a person, but I probably wouldn't.

Can someone sum up the controversy? I've seen quite a bit but not sure exactly what's what.

So, for my two cents: REDDIT was my go to for very biased but usually non-corporate info. For example, Baldurs Gate 3. In the past, I would research 'BG3 builds reddit' and just check out different builds people tried. It was always much better than going to a crappy corporate owned 'gaming mag' type website, where most of them just copy/pasted info from reddit anyway. It was a pretty good repository for info like that, and reddthat (or lemmy I guess) has not reached that level yet. I tried doing some searching on here for bg3 builds, almost nada.

It's the same as the JW's I bet. They argue that the current society views it poorly so you have to conform, and then argue that you don't follow the world in the next breath. Control is a hellava thing.
