Or you could educate us on why you're face-palming. Use your words.

World at War remains my favorite in the series. The more modern ones and futuristic 3D maneuvering ones were never my cup of tea

The vast majority of these statutes, including this one, were erected decades after the Civil War and have no historical value beyond being physical representations of Jim Crow. The guy that commissioned it purchased land and oversaw the creation of a whites only park on the site where it was erected. They were rallying points of hate when they went up and they still are.

Again? This is like CoD taking up all the air over at Activision with every studio playing support over there every year. What is DICE doing?

Digital is the future, pal. When's the last time you saw a gaming pc with a disk drive?

And it's not like they're taking the physical options away.

No and I think it's kind of silly that people find the mention of the term so upsetting. Content aside, I like multiplayer games. I've been playing them for years. The idea of a multiplayer game that gets content updates is nothing new. CoD (just one example) has been doing it since 2008 and I'm supposed to be upset with that now that the big chunks of content they release are free and it has a different term describing it?

Like I said, just one example, but that's generally how it goes. And you're free to buy whatever cosmetics you want. Maybe it's because I've never been one for microtransactions and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything because skins I'll probably never use are up for sale. Which is the flip side to more complete content packs being sold.

Also, the idea that games are unfinished simply because they're offering more content is weird to me.

I'm blocking a list of communities every day with the same tired wojack memes. I want to be free of this.

But how can I make snarky comments if I read the article?

Play it anyway. You may still enjoy it.

Maybe it's because I disable things and go through the settings with a fine tooth comb after a fresh install but I never see this stuff. Not discounting others' experiences either. Can't imagine being inundated with this stuff like some are claiming they are.
