    Is he really hurt by it? Based on past instances where it came up in various ways and he was able to laugh it off, I didn't take that from that tweet.

    I both agree and disagree. Yes, it is on the fans to stop buying. But we can't discount just how much devs (on behalf of publishers) fuck with the game in order to push people toward the micros. Or they fuck with the game to help everybody who might buy them vs the rest. Most pubs can't do lootboxes anymore, but they can taint matchmaking every way to put you up against people with the new shit, make things a grind unless you buy micros, or similar devious tactics.
     
    You see no better example of this than in Call of Duty nowadays. The biggest thing people complain about is Skill Based Matchmaking being cranked into overdrive. But the primary reason they cranked it is to protect the new players so that said new players might buy micros. When the community has really had enough, they'll just switch to some other tactic.
     
    So, yes. People should stop buying micros. But these pubs are trying everything possible to push people toward them, so even that simple solution isn't that simple.

    This dude literally bombed so hard he started blaming the joke writers. Now he's calling the people he bombed in front of soft.
     
    I don't know why, but that's so funny to me.

    I'm still rolling my eyes that that Spider-Man 2 MJ debacle was even a thing. There is so much porn and porn-adjacent material out there you'd NEVER catch me bitching about a video game character looking "less hot" the next game (I still barely see any difference). I'd feel like a fucking caveman even typing it out.
     
    But this seems different. This seems like stalker shit. I hope she's safe.

    Horror is easier to make than other stuff. That goes for movies and games. Fans just want to be scared, and that's relatively easy, as what's scary isn't as subjective for most people as what's, say, funny. It's way more achievable on a sensible budget too.

    Dr. Umar is a clown and another shining example of "Andrew Tate-ism" where you say a bunch of dumb shit but dummies will still dig through for a couple nuggets. He's not as bad as Tate, but I will NEVER understand why people listen to him.
