Ideally, it would be an optional thing, but oh well.

Yeah tons of games ask you at the start of the game, like "have you played this kind of game before?" Def seems clumsy for a game that otherwise seems pretty well thought out.

reductio ad Judeam

Proving a point by comparing something to the genocide in Gaza?

Oh no, this one isn't. Just saying that it's common in that niche space. I personally spent about $200 for my case, and the price was not my fave but the case is super portable and I love that about it.

You must not build SFF PCs. $150-$200 is pretty standard in that space, though there are definitely some great budget ITX cases.

Oh man, I'll bet that was a riot.

I appreciate that perspective, thank you

technically the article never goes as far as arguing that people should boycott the game, though that is obviously the implied thesis. I don't exactly disagree with you, I just think it's a conversation worth having.

It's interesting to compare to the Israel-Palestine debate, too. By the same logic, one should avoid buying any games from US-based developers, because those taxes are going to fund the genocide in Gaza. But of course, when you follow the logic to that end, one starts to consider their own income taxes in that debate.

I would argue we should. I win the argument! ๐Ÿ‘‘

[alt text: a screenshot from an app for an airline service, which appears to be showing part of an airliner seating chart. There is a pop-up that says, "Ready to eject Lynda? This action cannot be undone. Flight attendants will eject Lynda from the plane mid-flight. Don't worry, your arrival time will not be impacted." The pop-up has a large blue button that says, "Eject Lynda - $2,703.50". Fine print text below the button says, "Lynda will be able to counter your ejection bid. View Terms"
