I was under the impression they pulled this shortly after launch. Did it come back at some point?

Psychonauts. I'm upset I slept on this game for so long. It's very charming.

You're right. But the payment card is definitely dystopian and designed to maximize fees from the users for every aspect. It should be required by law that these businesses give alternative options for receiving payments, or remove any sort of fees.

Seems pretty accurate to me. It's like the abortion issue too. Democrats will campaign on things it knows people like, but when they have actual power to do something, they always come up short.

Because a good lawyer looks for any sort of far reaching authority they can legally get away with, and will continues to push boundaries as legally far as they can until they get challenged. All in the name of protecting their clients from liability.

I don't like it, but I get it. And these things can fall apart when challenged in court or public opinion.

Makes me think of the guy who died from an allergy at Disney land and Disney tried to say he couldn't sue because of his Disney plus agreement.

Lawyers put in all kinds of legal clauses specifically to try and avoid any and all liability on anything imaginable or unimaginable. Most times it's beyond what anyone would call reasonable. But we aren't dealing with reasonable people.

Say I broke a game disk that they told me I had to destroy and I cut myself on it, deep enough to need medical attention. I wonder if I could sue them for the costs, since they specifically told me I had to break my game.

I had to block all the channels related to this guy a few years back because he is nothing but a garbage take factory.

Yep I believe that's what this is. I've seen clauses like this in other stuff too. Pretty boiler plate. Not like they can actually enforce it.

I mean... He's literally an alien that came here illegally.

Is MAGA stupid? Don't answer that, it was rhetorical.
