    Besides being expensive, you would think owning a console would get rid of headaches. But noooo - No pass-subscriptions? No online access! No couch co-op! No optimisations! And now - no owning!

    And those greedy CEO’s scratch their heads and are wondering “Why is nobody buying our stuff anymore?!” the day gaming turned corporate is the day it died. It can be still fun today, but the awesome rock’n’roll days of gaming are loooong gone.

    I have 2 daughters, 6 and 8 years old, and I couldn’t care less who or how they’ll love one day. As long as they are happy. Who am I to deny them happiness?! If I had 2 boys, I’d say the exact same thing.

    I’ll never understand people thinking otherwise.









  • Well, you have to see it in a bit of a context. Many votes in Switzerland are concluded on a much tighter scale. Sometimes stuff gets accepted or declined by 50.5% or even less. 55% against the initiative is pretty decent, especially when it looked like it would pass for a long time. Me personally I would have liked to see 95% against this crap, but this has never happened on any matter that was voted on, so…

    Also, the cities and suburbs, with the supposed “problems of immigration” right in front of their doorstep, all declined the initiative. It was the country side and small communities that aren’t even affected by immigration, that voted for it. This shows once again, that fear is a powerful tool to mobilize masses. Thankfully it didn’t work this time but we gotta stay alert and fight the narrative of fearmongering every single day.
