Biggest sellout in history. I'm just glad I saw the writing on the wall long in advance when he would talk all the time about "community" but literally never engaged with it at all (the only time he even addressed commenters was when their comments were literally printed on paper and handed to him).

This man is the definition of a charlatan

Dude that's not fucking fair.

I wanna see you try to look for evidence with all that bribery and police gang money obscuring your vision and see if you do any better.

Epic: "Steam has an unfair monopoly!"

epic gets pre installed as bloat ware on a bunch of phones

Epic: "What? We never said we didn't like monopolies, we just don't like Steam being the ones with the monopoly!"

Yes of course. But maybe we don't have to stick only to specific bad example and can speak to the practice in general, perhaps?

But you can say “Just so you know, this phone call is being recorded” and if they continue to talk, they are implicitly giving consent

Which makes it kind of bullshit and not two-party, since in many cases this is effectively the only means of communicating with these companies. There is no real option to not consent, especially in the case of healthcare companies, since it's not like a person can just choose to not have a body with real medical concerns (and in the US you legally can't even go uninsured without penalty). Calling this "two party" at this point is a fucking joke.

They even have to leave, they just have to ignore the admins and become ungovernable.

But they won't, because they're cowards.

"Funko did not request a takedown of the @itchio platform."

Man, I fucking hate corpo-speak like this.

Yes, you didn't personally make the request against itchio.... But you hired this company to enforce "brand protection" and that's what they did. So you did actually request the takedown, but you just did so by authorizing another party to make such requests on your behalf.

This is like a military General saying "hey I didn't commit any warcrimes, I just gave the orders to my men to commit warcrimes!"

Did you forget that shame exists? Not all, hell not even most calls to name an offender are a call for violence, the vast majority are calls for accountability and potentially shame.

Imo we need to start attaching criminal penalties to the people behind businesses that knowingly abuse their power and position like this. Corporate bullying isn't a financial position, it's a failing of ethics.

I'm not saying it's exactly KH, I'm saying it's in the action-rpg hybrid combat genre like KH. I don't enjoy either of their combat. As for my experience, I completed the first KH game and I'm like 90% through FFVII remake, but it is a fucking chore every single time combat happens. I think basically all action-rpg crossover combat is shallow. I want them to give me either a fully satisfying action experience or a fully satisfying RPG combat experience, stop dicking around in this dumb compromise space

I just don't want this half-assed combat. If they wanted to make this an action game, go full action and give us a DMC-like experience. If they want it to be an RPG, either stick to classic turn-based or iterate in some way that isn't a shitty compromised half-step between two things, don't give us this shallow Kingdom Hearts-like (but worse) half & half. I guess I'm in the minority on this but I personally find action RPG hybrid combat systems almost always unsatisfying; very few games offer me something that doesn't feel like a cheapened knock off of some better game style.

100%. I literally keep falling asleep during combat being it's so mindless and boring.
