No, they were put off because I didn’t cry over the situation, or really demonstration and strong signs of despair.

I have been dumped for not expressing emotion, and crying, due to tragic things happening.

yeah, lots of could have’s in this scenario. but who knows. maybe we will get more insight as time goes on.

I wouldn’t be all that surprised honestly

I mean the guy may have been at the end of his rope for multiple reasons. I mean fort bragg/liberty has really high levels of lead in their water, mold in their facilities, etc., plus whatever PTSD he may have had. Who knows. However, being trained, he should have known this wasn’t going to be some massive explosion, that it was mostly just going to set the truck on fire.

Edit: I’m not a girl, just a rust dev

then you likely need to wash them now, like right now

I think it might have been more about the message a burning cybertruck, in front of a trump hotel, right by the trump sign, sends, than it was about the violence. Especially since the person is military trained and knew this wasn’t going to go all OKC federal building.

Yeah, I remember the dead leg one now too. Haven’t thought about it in a long time. I wonder how much of this stupid fad shit I just do not remember.

Yeah, back when I was in like middle school the big thing was the “choking game” and then the “knockout game”. Choking game was basically you let someone choke you until you passed out, and the knockout game was basically randomly sucker punching people. This was the mid 90s.

Not sure about it specifically, but when I was a child in England it was a british man, and when we moved back to the states it was a person with a NA accent. I later learned those to be Ringo and Carlin. Don’t know about timelines, or release differences, or anything like that though.

English vs US versions

I mean, I don’t know an american that would list any fast food as the place that serves the best/their favorite burger.

I don’t. I watched a breakdown from a lawyer on youtube when it was first posted, but I have searched and not found that video. It was just a recommended. Though I can’t imagine there is no record of what is going on. Basically, when they are shutting down the servers, they are patching out the ability to host, which is lame, and they don’t even have the tenuous argument of it really being competition like WoW did.

they aren’t just turning the servers off, while there is part of the suit due to advertised promise vs what happened, the second point is they literally pushed an update that made running the software on your own, private, server, impossible. The point is that the game companies are making it so you are not able to do what you want with it. This is just one suit that is fighting for structures that protect you owning what you buy. It is multifaceted, from right to repair, to right to use software you purchase in any personal way you like. there is a broad, multi-industry, movement to make all products a “service”. Software was one of the first, and currently the largest, set of industries that do this. From single player video games needing to contact a company server just to start, to features of your car, house, and appliances requiring continuous payment schemes, where they can just deny access, even though you paid for them. It has gone on for along time, and now the mainstream population is being affected, and some are fighting back.

I am clearly on the side of you own what you pay for. They don’t owe you servers, updates, etc. They owe you being able to do those things, for your own purposes (ie not commercial), and not disabling everything when they no longer feel like putting resources into it.

Will they bill Texas for time employees spent on other projects, like they did with the DOD, and probably more than that?

They will just have to stick to advertised timelines, and allow people to use that software, as they please, after they stop supporting it. I do not see how this is unfair.

I mean they started shutting it down 9 years ago, it isn’t new, so it isn’t really news now

Point was, this is about making it so they don’t have the option to do this anymore, with the legal system.

They did, but that was 9 years ago, so you might not remember. However it was not as popular a movement yet, so they didn’t get the same backlash as people are getting almost 10 years later, when everyone is sick of this. You are right, they can pull their own product if they want to, now. The goal is to make it so they can’t just do that if they want to, anymore.

Yeah this was going on before that. Media Piracy really set-off in the late 90s when DSL, and cable, internet services became mainstream. Also Netflix started making their own content in response to a growing number of competing services, all fighting over the same pool of production companies’ work, and having exclusive rights to one IP, or another, rather than other services being the result of netflix making their own content.

Everything needed to run the game online exists player side. There are many games where people run their own servers because of this, even in WoW. They are literally taking things to disable this ability from what they purchased.
