“Help”
Nah man, they did that to themselves and now the rest of the world have to face the consequences. Im sorry for them but i have 0 sympathy anymore, they are not the ones who are going die in a cold trench in the middle of the artic or gods know where because they elected a psycho compromised by Russia. Stop crying and do something about it.
Its already happening in Spain. Everyday there is a football match from the spanish league (thats from Friday to Monday, both included) LaLiga orders the ISPs to shutdown everything that uses Cloudflare under the pretext that the shady websites that offers pirated football use their services, killing easily 1/3 of the national traffic for like 4h.
Why the ISPs comply? The biggest ISP of the country (Movistar) also happens to be the main one that showcase legal football.
How is this legal? The judge that authorised that and the president of LaLiga have been friends since forever.
Eventually this will go the European court where will rule this was illegal and anti-constitutional all along and give a Spain a fine (the the citizen will have to pay ofc), and revoke this bullshit, but untill then we are screwed. Nothing will happens to LaLiga, or the corrupt judge, or Movistar, fucking privileged and corrupted bastards.
Happens a lot in Spain.
There has been a lot cases of police officers infiltrating left and social movements, male and female, and “failing in love” with people inside them. Just from the tip of my head, there is a case of female cop that was caught by her partner after 4 years of relationship and before getting married. Another one where a male cop infiltrated different associations and literally fucked his way up to the intel, tricking women and having them have (consent) sex with him. This one his awaiting trial because after finding out the girls sued him for sexual abuse, but i dont think i will go anywhere.
Damm good for you America. Its usually the UE pursuing this kind of corporate bullshit, but i must admit is good to see a case where the fine equals the full amount of revenue scammed. It should be twice, or x10 times more if u ask me because that still feels too cheap for playing with people lives and fear, but its something.
Who would have tought we only needed a global pandemic and thousand of deaths to start getting (some) our shit together
Im starting to believe the big triple A game industry is starting to collapse, not the gaming industry it self, but the big companies that make generic after generic blockbuster kind of games. They keep getting more and more desperate and predatory in order to appeal the share holders and maximize profits because their type of games are so expensive to make.
Remember when games didnt have to put the same amount (or even more) of the development cost also into marketing? Good games sells themselves, every gamer knows it, but the monkeys with suits who run the companies nowadays cant compute that. Instead they keep coming with more and more shitty ways to steal our money, they will try anything instead of listening to their developers ( who are the actual gamers that know what works and what dosnt).
And so here we are. Just in this year I have seen a single player game put mechanic like the NG+ only availible for the deluxe edition (yakuza), an extra save game file or fast travels as microtransactions (dragon dogmas 2), extra missions and a 3 days early launch for a single player only allowed for the 110$ version of the game (star wars outlaws), and a company literally changing former terms and license agreement in order to sell a 250$ p2w pack and killing it self and the work of the last 5 years? in less than 24h (tarkov)

Wellcome to the post-internet era, when u cant no longer tell if that obviously idiotic argument was written by a bot, a troll, or just your average right-winger.
