EA employees worked on BioWare games. I know because my brother is one of them.

He worked on Dragon Age, while being an EA employee.

So EA owns all the rights to collect money from their games for that reason and because EA owned BioWare

Just to push back on this, this is long overdue.

EA closing down studios they buy is the expected inevitable outcome

Anyone who lets EA acquire them deserves this. It’s not even a secret, so fuck everyone at BioWare who sold their company to this. You can be sad, but you don’t get to be surprised

You think it’s popular enough that anyone knows what MDK2 even means? People after lazy and won’t search that to find out. Maybe you should stop being lazy too and just woke out the actually name instead of this game you seem to think it’s unforgettable will remain entirely entirely forgotten

Don’t worry, she isn’t the one who had these thoughts. You aren’t actually agreeing with her, she just said something that someone wrote for her that you happen to agree with.

I dont understand, makes sense, what’s the problem?

The people who care, and there are millions of them, mostly already held the appropriate opinion of them.

It’s amazing how many don’t care, but again we already knew they were shit people and it isn’t a surprise that those people are entirely okay with it until they are personally affected by it all (specifically their wallet)

What’s amazing is how many millions of people aren’t offing themselves due to the futility of holding onto their beliefs after decades of trying to advocate for a better world

I assume killing children means using birth control(because asshats think that’s what it means)

Take your usb cable, wrap it around something round of the size of curl you want and hit it with hot air, being careful not to melt it.

You will achieve the springy tangly mess in the picture. Your cable will now be 2/3 or less of the straight length

Gonna have to disagree with you there bud. Many good bands have come from there.

You entirely missed the plot, you fucking moron, yes and they should still lose. They should be allowed to lose with that exact defence

Thank you, it annoys me greatly when people don’t actually say what they mean. I appreciate the effort you took to point out it. Your comment is much better than just saying something happened without explaining it.

Much better comment than the ones I replied to Eric is pretty useless on its own. It took you and me to make it something worth reading

Yes it does. Because this case may be used as precedence in other cases matter on. If something was not done correctly, this isn’t justice, it’s corruption. And it could lead to things like not allowing trans representation in legal proceedings(unlikely, but so was a convicted felon, and paedophile becoming USA’s president)

They did not start it for the reason in the comic. That is a complete fabrication.

It was an internal list of restaurants to wine and dine fine clients, and it was a massive success and many people who wanted to know where to take their own clients kept trying to find out about the Michelin list

I could not give a flying fuck. How about making life affordable for 80 percent of Canadians who can’t afford to buy a home?

How so?
