It certainly sounds like it should be more difficult than that (and as far as I, a non-medical professional, know it is) but keep in mind the pharmaceutical industry is worth billions to a select few, and keep in mind back when Eli Lilly's Twitter was hacked and posted insulin, a substance that costing some people over $1000/month just to live, would be free, their stock dropped 4.37% the next day.

Like I said, I'm no medical anything but like with previous products that have claimed to be medically beneficial, I think it's worth at least taking a step back and looking at what someone stands to gain by claiming something vital is simple versus what those who claim otherwise stand to lose.

After all, I think we've all heard the story of the doctor who, in a fit of desperation, cured his wife's cancer with bicarbonate of soda and then did so with more of his patients before being sued by Big Pharma.

These fucks just can't stop spoiling everything for people

So it's almost like the smart business decision would be to make some multiplatform games, huh

Given the botched launch, this isn't much of a surprise. Only thing I can say is that I hope it serves as a lesson to people with the mindset of "this game'll be great ^in 5 years^"

Was thinking exactly this. Both films and video games - especially one the size of BG3 - take far longer than a couple of years to come to fruition which means the only thing she had a hand in was the OGL and every other small-to-medium controvery I've only really heard about through One Shot Questers' round up videos. Burn the witch.

I don't see it going well but I'd love to see it happen. "One rule for ye, another for me" and all that

Assuming there was ever anything in the victim's hands to begin with. Plenty of cops will go on to deny the person emergency treatment under the guise of the individual being "too dangerous"

Edit: To anyone daring to question the veracity of this statement, just go ahead and watch the last moments of this man's life then take a good long look at yourselves and think about just what you're trying to defend here. This is nothing but murder. Decided on by an overly-sensitive EMT and endorsed by six different cops. Be ashamed of yourselves.

Which is what they are in the west anyway.

Might wanna return your cat under warranty. He seems to have a defect

Oh cry me a river. These hacks don't deserve the pity they're clearly trying to win because they have already proven they don't know how to make a technologically sound game. Every single one of their games has suffered from save-breaking glitches, and yeah I might be one of the unlucky ones to have experienced at least one in all of their games but I can count the amount of developers that have given me a similar experience on one fist (yes, I mean "fist", not hand).

I have an up-to-date system, more than meet the requirements for this flaming turd of a game and even among the insane amount of loading screens, there are still frequent hang-ups from the game needing to load while walking through a plaza while the game is running on my SSD. That's simply not good enough. The last time I experienced such behaviour in a game was when I was playing on a potato over a decade ago or playing online with abysmal internet.

Critics don't have to be developers to be able to spot in what ways a game is bad and neither does the general public. This is very different from "I don't like this so it's bad.". This is a case of "It runs like ass, the writing is boring and the traversal of their mostly-empty crafted universe is little more than a lag-hung menu with a stupid amount of layers to access what you're actually looking for and a whole ton of loading screens and thus it is bad.". They haven't crafted some grand open universe like they advertised, they made a bunch of levels, added a slow fast travel system and a standard fast travel system and called it quits. They're now finally being called out as the bunch of half-asses they really are and they have more than earned it.

"We were riding the limits of what was possible" is a common excuse given. Then maybe don't bite off more than you can chew. "Overcome technology itself". A bad craftsman blames his tools. Maybe stop using an engine that isn't fit for purpose. The "Creation" engine - or as we might as well call it, Gamebryo - has long been cited as the cause of many problems and barely workable. Take time to retrain your developers to a user-friendly engine and you'll quickly make up the lost time in efficiency but they insist on holding on to that dinosaur of an engine.

As a member of the general public, I can't say I know how to make a game, let alone a good one but given the constant stutters, mostly empty world, boring writing, frequent instances of forcing grind to pad play time and ever-increasing tedium in their gameplay loop, I have to assume that Bugthesda doesn't either. The fact they saw to set team members on reviews instead of fixing all the problems with their games, I have to say their priorities aren't in the right place and the ones who are "disconnected" are Bethesda who seem to be under the delusion that they'll get nothing but praise just for releasing a game, no matter the state it's in.

Yeah, I didn't think about the whole political spying part of owning a children's game. Bunch o' control freaks

It's typically the ones who follow the rules that get the most shafted.
