Aye

He is bringing back a very carefully selected group of banned people, people he thinks caters to the only specific core audience which remains on twitter: hateful right wing bigots.

Russia doesn't pay people for that sort of thing, especially not a person like Musk. Instead they extort. Possibly over rare materials.

Anyway I don't think Russia was part of Musks takeover of twitter, that stemmed from Musks own arrogant stupidity, but they certainly did become one afterwards.

"The game isn't boring for the reasons that you think, it is boring for these completely secret reasons."

Ok.

The "but the game is good now" people are the ones who showed him he can do exactly the same thing again without any serious repercussions.

Yes, those poor scammers, won't somebody think of them?

But they always intended to make it better and gradually did, because they are an actual gaming company with actual devs. The "devs" of The Day Before never did.

They are not "down". They have run away with the money, they are scammers who have done this before and they don't deserve any pity.

I really don't understand this constant complaint that comes up whenever a news story about Musk is posted. Of course it is newsworthy that the (once) richest man on Earth is doing this, and providing news about what these billionaire oligarchs are up to is definitely part of a relevant newsfeed.

Keeping their actions in the dark only helps normalising their existence and behaviour.

It is actually 62%. For some reason they rounded the real number down in OP's link.

It is of course marketing aimed at Star Wars fans who have never played a strategy game before and who may be reluctant to buy it because it is a strategy game.

It doesn't bode well for the strategy aspect of the game. Or maybe it is just PR bs, who knows.

I'm getting strong "free games you got when you buy cereal" vibes off of this. Or at least games whose sole purpose for existing is to promote something else.

Cue "You know, I'm something of a fraudster myself" Willem Dafoe meme.

Tankies are fascinating, the more stuffed with propaganda lies they are, the more confident they feel.

Don't enable them by participating on their instance. Block them and move on.

Yeah, you are a good example of what happens to somebody who shapes their reality after nonsense like gamergate and other right wing bullshit conspiracy theories.

This is not comparable at all. Radicalisation through the media you consume is a known and proven phenomenon. None of the comics, d&d, heavy metal makes you satanic and violent claims have ever been proven.

It is still going strong on places like reddit, where the official gamergate subreddit kotakuinaction still exists (personally unblocked by spez himself because it contributed "valuable discussion").

No, it would not get him more votes. The main problem for the Democrats are that a lot of non-Trump voters doesn't vote at all, not that they are suddenly going to turn Trump voters. There has been a consistent non-Trump majority since 2016 after all.

I think the main problem for the Democrats are apathy and people not voting at all, rather than people actually voting for Trump. The Trump voters will be the same, but they will actually vote.
