I'd be game with the multiple storefronts if the library aspect were decoupled. If I bought Sea of Thieves in Microsoft Store and I bought Destiny 2 in Battle.NET, having a launcher that was able to download and install both of them wi

I don't think it is a situation that people are for censorship so much as they don't see any net benefit in avoiding a market that does do censorship. Google was in China at one point. They took a stand and got out. Since then, An

maybe from a philosophical standpoint, but in the end then the Chinese people don't have access to Google. The options in China are similarly censored. So it isn't like Google would be engaged in something that is an outright nega

You want GDPR to remove censorship or are you wanting where results are removed due to GDPR for an indication that the removal took place due to GDPR? If the latter, honestly, I'd imagine that would be something Google would want to pu

While maybe not particularly valuable, it is pertinent when saying "x is worse in place y than in the military": without experience in the military, it would be impossible to say (not saying the words, but for credibility).

It is basically a race to ilvl 320 and then run warfronts for gear and then go raid/heroics if inclined. Personally, I wish they'd open warfronts up earlier and the gear you get have ilvl similar to how world quest rewards "s
