Is this video just no human interaction, or is it more like that one twitch stream that was more or less subjecting his mod to psychological torture by challenging him to stay in a dark closet for three days for a new car?

Robert E. Lee statue being melted down; bronze to be re-used for new more inclusive art

Reply in thread

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.

Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?

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.
