stop being dishonest.
But even if you weren't mischaracterizing my statement, console exclusivity means only that console has the game. Whether it was planned ahead of time or done after the fact is irrelevant, the game is not exclusive when it becomes available for multiple platforms. It's a distinction that does not matter.
- scott_w 3y agoYou’re obsessed with deceit and dishonesty. First you accuse game developers of a scam (deceit), which I’ve demonstrated it’s not. When I do, you accuse me of dishonesty. Nothing you provided is substantiated with any evidence. On the contrary, everything you did provide brought your argument crashing down. The only one arguing with bad faith here is you.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoThe ad hominem is a strong indicator that you don't have a leg to stand on.
- scott_w 3y agoI see you subscribe to the “accuse others of what you are guilty” school of debate.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoI don't find it surprising you don't know what an ad hominem is. hint: it doesn't mean someone said something to you that you don't like.
- scott_w 3y agoThis is coming from the person accusing everyone rebutting their points of dishonesty.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem > Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This is what was actually said -------- stop being dishonest. But even if you weren't mischaracterizing my statement ... -------- Look closer at the definition of ad hominem, I'll emphasize it for you. __rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself__ It is not an ad hominem to point out that someone is cherry-picking, and it is, in fact, a form of dishonesty. This is a far cry from your response, emphasis mine > __You’re__ obsessed with deceit and dishonesty. Let look back at the definition of ad hominem > where the speaker attacks the __character, motive,__ ... stop it.
- scott_w 3y ago> stop being dishonest. >> where the speaker attacks the __character, motive,__ ... I rest my case.
