Welp, that’s an opinion one can have. whatyoujustsaid.gif

Not really. These brands are hollow shells of former glory. Their output is cynical trash designed by committees to extract maximum revenue, soulless and worthless. They can all burn to the ground for all I care.

That’s literally how it works. If you run a store selling/licensing media you get to decide what’s on the shelves and what isn’t.

Going anywhere near any of Trump’s businesses is a guarantee for losses and regret. In Trump’s world there are only very few winners, basically only the ones paying for pardons. And it’ll be interesting to see if even this is worth it in the long run.

It is available on other, quite popular, stores. GOG and itch.io are household names in PC gaming.

I haven’t heard about the details, what’s your source on that?

As far as I recall, the developer said he didn’t know the actual reason for the ban.

Valve is pretty upfront about being a business first and foremost. Their customers are loyal because they consistently provide high value at reasonable prices, even though they are in a dominating position in the market. They’ve taken unpopular decisions in the past, but never any that seriously alienated a meaningful chunk of their customer base.

Based solely off the trailer I can see how a big American storefront would err on the side of caution here. There is very little to gain from carrying a game decidedly built with controversy in mind, but a lot to loose.

With the publicity around it and sales still possible through alternative stores maybe things will turn out alright for the developer in the end. “Banned” media is always in demand, after all.

This is the reasonable way.

Sure, why not. They had some fun ideas and scenes in the last ones, I’m up for one more.

Didn’t Valve just fix this with Fex?

Venn with the Taliban is growing.

Gotta appreciate the choice of ad, though.

There are just so many good distros available these days. Doesn’t stop me from using bazzite, though.

Could you swiftly describe what makes you prefer nobara over the others?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion about bigotry and slurs, but having soulless American mega-corporations enforcing the current lowest common denominator about what is acceptable is not the win some people might think it is. Sure, they might seem like they’re on your side, and thus the right side, now, but this can change quickly and radically.

The first new Wolfenstein was amazing. They got actual German actors to play the nazis and it made a huge difference.

From a business/productivity side it would be cataclysmic.

For the private life of people quite the opposite, things would get a lot more sane.
