To paraphrase Office Space:

Not to be that guy, but it's "as opposed to". Hope this helps in the future!
Now? They've had the option almost since they first started selling them. It's like $10 to remove them permanently. Honestly didn't realize anyone would get the one with ads on purpose but hey, I didn't think people would use Twitter when I first heard about it either.
Did the definition of "trolls" suddenly change or is this author just using it wrong? Corporate astroturfing? Sure that makes sense. Corporate trolling? Not sure I get the point of that.
I like the idea of this game (and series) a lot. I really have NO interest in a 2D side-scroller, though. I hope the game succeeds and they can make another RoR that's more in a style I'd enjoy.
No company is your friend. But a smart company finds ways to make money off you while still leaving you happy and content after
Exactly. If this weren't the case, companies wouldn't exist in the first place.
That said, MS has historically been pretty anti-competitive and monopolistic so I don't see any reason to expect that to change. But I think that even at their worst, this isn't going to be as bad as people are making it out to be. Playstation won't go away because of this. Playstation is already worse than Xbox in almost every way, they're just coasting right now. People will point to this merger as a turning point for PS but I think that ignores where PS is already at.
That's correct. v2.0 is included with the base game and comes out tomorrow (Sept 21). The expansion comes out 5 days later on Tuesday.
There are tons of changes with 2.0 that make it worth revisiting even if you don't get PL.
...did a countdown till midnight so that I can start playing at launch, and I even live streamed it (and also had a few other streams going on two laptops). Took the day off to play the game as well.
Every time I read stuff like this, I just shake my head, no matter what game is being discussed. I won't say this has NEVER worked, but certainly not for the last decade or two. Games have just evolved to the point where big budget releases are always problematic right at launch. Whether it's full of bugs like CP2077 or it has server issues like all the "live service" games, there is always something that makes playing right at launch just not viable.
Hope for the best, expect the worst.
That would at least be headline-worthy!
I'm with you there. I regret buying D4 and it'd probably the last Blizzard game I'll ever buy unless MS cleans house when they acquire them.

It's one of my only regrets from switching to linux full time last summer: the PC side of my GamePass Ultimate subscription is now useless because it requires Windows. I get it, but it still bums me out.
On the plus side, I prepaid using some crazy scam/exploit/deal/whatever from SlickDeals so it cost me like less than $100 for three years. And since I still use it on my Xbox regularly, I feel like it was still a... ... slick deal.
