    We’re now expected to rent imaginary spaces for our characters to play the game we already purchased in?

    Is advocating people be burned at the stake against the ToS here? Because I’m advocating the fuck out of that.

      Nobody purchased Skate, it is free to play.

      They just promised not to lock locations behind a paywall, which the executives decided to change.

      I see a clear correlation between the decline of tar-and-feathers and riding people out on a rail and the rise of terrible business practices.

        Yes. Remember when we burned people at the stake? Whatever happened to that? Just live stream a few billionaires and child rapists being slowly burned as an object lesson to the rest and I imagine things would change fairly quickly.

            Someone really needs to start an eco friendly, low carb, gluten free, vegan burning-at-the-stake materials company.
