Today's lesson in rhetoric:

Whataboutism

-a type of red herring fallacy. Both are argumentative fallacies that divert attention away from the original topic to a new one. However, whataboutism uses the new topic to attack the other party, while a red herring fallacy introduces an unrelated topic.

He's in jail for creating cheats. Awesome.

Delete all your social media. The majority of people playing your game don't care what people are saying.

Will it melt?

I played last weekend and there were over 100,000 people playing on Steam. Now it's even higher. I'm pretty sure the damage is undone.

Now it's on Steam to relist it.

Time for AI to replace CEOS. That way, when it fails, as it inevitably will, there's no one to tell. The employees can continue to make games, get raises (no CEO bonuses), and there will no longer be bone headed decisions by id10Ts.

Don't worry, AI will save us all.

And if you didn't know, that's sarcasm!

I've heard of garbage in, garbage out.

But garbage creating garbage is a whole new "landscape of gaming" garbage.

You've never heard of planned obsolescence.

Fantastic report. It'll be very interesting to see if anything is done to protect the players.

Well, it looks like they apparently did.

Hate them for giving leakers a platform.

I want to see more too. But that's up to Insomniac.

I really enjoyed it at launch and had every trophy by August 2016.

The experience I had is no longer in the game: It was just me and my ship. It was a survival game and the feeling of loneliness in the universe was pervasive. There was no way to ruin too far from your ship and, in an emergency, you grenaded a hole in the ground to survive.

I miss that aspect, but since then, I love what they've done.

Thanks for reading nothing I said, sod.

A player who played, had fun, and moved on can get their money back? 100 hrs in game?

That's just wrong.

It was there at launch and removed temporarily. It's on the TOS.
