This system totally works so long as you can take time off work to form a lobbying group -- this does not pass the sniff test to me. Reminder that even in the scenario that constituents 100% support or 100% reject a policy, their opinions h

Careful, when you ramp the hyperbole up to this point you are essentially just lying. A decade ago you could quickly check the blue mark and know that the account most likely belonged to the person it was labelled for. The people who had a

I'm guessing your issues were not so severe if "keep trying things forever and telling yourself to get over it" is the epiphany which helped you, clinical depression doesn't go away that easily.

It's funny because this isn't even a hypothetical, you're actually just wrong! The majority of people who play competitive matchmade games online didn't get consulted, the developers put anti-cheat in after the audience

by chownie 11mo ago
The developers aren't pro players either, the cutting edge for anti-cheats still require that non-cheaters play with cheaters for months. I would not be shocked if simple vote-kick outperforms every anti-cheat on the market.

Right, and neither politeness nor gratuitous praise are even remotely similar to being edgy. These words have meanings, you have been using at least one of them incorrectly, that is the point I'm trying to make. https://www.

by chownie 1y ago
Deprecating a feature and replacing it with a paywalled version is imo a distinction without a difference. You're of course free to do it, just as I'm free continue to use other products which do not do this.
