There’s no way it’s a sci-fi version of Skyrim and it does not live on in the gaming zeitgeist, specially when the mods really begin rolling out.

I’ve seen some pretty absurd complaints, like the not being able to land on gas planets, or people complaining due to ridiculously high but present area limitations.

Absurd complaints always seem to surround the media people whom people blame of being “woke”, which is why I usually give the media being criticized the extra benefit of a doubt since people will make or criticize shit for reasons they don’t say out-loud. I usually find out it’s not really that bad, but it’s just amplified because they create an environment of criticism that other people that have no underlying agenda still follow.

Then there’s the real complaints about performance, which I personally haven’t experienced because of a top tier PC (although I’m curious what people on the Xbox have to say, as Microsoft would hang them if it wasn’t playable on it as one of their new hallmark exclusives for it), and people not liking the Bethsoft sort of gameplay loop, which this is and has definitely improved upon IMO. Not only will this game be played for years on end like Skyrim, but I suspect it will also spark a much needed MMO off-shoot in the space genre just like their Fallout and The Elder Scrolls games did.

That is definitely not my experience.

The problem with online social media is being exposed to argumentative loudness for basic things that shouldn’t be a big deal. That, and the entities tailoring themselves to gain benefit from them.

You mean the perfect example of the taxi industry coordinating against uber as a threat?

Those rates are also set to increase:

The fact is, if Uber had not existed there would be no Las Vegas taxicab flat rate as you know it.

Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable.

Umm, are people coming over from an alternate universe? Cable was much more expensive and limited, streaming forced it to reform.

Ubers cost as much as taxis.

This shitty claim sounds false, specially with the antics taxis perform to make trips longer. If it does have any ring of truth, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of it comes from having to acquiesce to the taxi sector, because they really cannot compete otherwise.

cloud is no longer cheap.

No shit, renting is more expensive in the longterm than owning something yourself? Tell me more.

It’s what you get when you invest in glorified digital receipts being used in a confidence game. The real legality is behind whatever the purchase and license agreements say, and a digital receipt may matter shit to it, specially if the the transaction is largely absent of any other value.

Hell no am I going to give them access to that data. They might as well just admit they are part of the US intelligence collection process at this point, too. Making a fake ID, that I wouldn’t mind using with this service. There would be nothing illegal with it, either, it would just break their own EULA. But how would they know?

In my experience, the more a company brands their product presumptuously, the more you should avoid it. At the very least, it will be skewed by consumers so shallow that they only decided to use it because of it, and a significant portion of the demands on it will part from their ignorance.
