The team that did the porting had no access to the original dev team, and the performance is worse than KSP1, so I'd say its pretty bad.

Tell me when you guys finally get free healthcare and sane gun control laws.

How about something simpler, then? Get back to me when you guys finally stop funding Israel's genocide.

Even easier? Get your government to stop vetoing any UN resolution for a ceasefire in Palestine.

Show me how easy it is to change your government's mind. I'll wait.

Because they can't make it illegal in another country. I'm sure plenty of countries would just use US or China owned payment processors rather than spending money to set up their own. This would just give them more control over other countries than they already have now.

So you admitted that people have succeeded in adding loopholes to the US government that makes all your argument no longer true, and you think they still should be allowed handle payment processing? To me it just sounds like you're arguing for transferring the power from one corruptible party (for-profit payment company) to another one (the government).

It would be easier for the government to actually regulate payment processors so they don't become so big that they can influence online stores that use them than preventing people in governments from turning corrupt and misusing the control over payment processes. Even then, the US government has failed to do the former, so how do we expect them to do the latter?

Your government representative only has a voice in the government, but they don't control it. Calling for profit companies en masse pushes your message directly to the people in charge who are scared of losing profits over this.

Tell me, when has calling your representatives ever resulted in a change in government policy within a reasonable time span? How often does a government do a major change in policy without you needing to vote someone out first?

So you expect governments like the Trump administration or Saudi Arabia will less likely block porn games than for profit companies?

You do realise this happened because thousands of people called the payment processors to complain about it, which means with thousands of people, you can pressure these companies to change their mind again. Try doing that to your own government, let alone a foreign government.

A for profit company can be replaced with another and is more easily affected by boycotts. A goverment is neither easily replaced or influenced by people from other countries.

Do you really think most governments will administer payment processes in a transparent and democratic manner?

What you said applies to most celebrities and CEOs, other than the ridiculous white clothing part. Hopefully you realised that the world has always worked that stupidly.

What do you mean? He didn't get fired, so none of them had any problem with him falling asleep at work due to his anemia. Sounds like they have his back just fine.

So your cost should overwrite safer streets, less congestion for people who do drive, and less noise and air pollution for people who don't even drive? What a selfish person.
