Yeah, but their battle passes never expire, and you don’t have to spend real money to get one.
They never expected it to go viral, they budget to go at least a year of story driven campaign and they probably made enough to pay for that times 10 already.
They don’t need to nickel and dime the user base, if anything they can sell less premium shit.
So?
I hate how every game want to compete for current playtime.
I got way more than money’s worth out of this game, but I haven’t played in over a month. I hope that when I go back to it, there’s still a playerbase.
But like, the developers planned for at best to get 10% of what they did…
If they dropped that extra 90%, I don’t see why that should spell the end of the game. It’s the playerbase the game was designed for.
There’s just this weird “first or worst” mentality with a lot of studios. I hope this game is just given the room to stretch it legs over a decade or so. Something people might not always keep installed on their console, but still download once or twice a year to get some games in.
Games like that can be a success. Just because a lot of people burnt out doesn’t mean they’ll never play again.
It’s just games like that don’t maximize investor returns. They want to churn out hits that people play exclusively for 3 months then drop, only to buy the new one next year.
The two main Haredi (Ultra-orthodox) parties are significant part of Netanyahu’s coalition, and they have always had a disproportionate power compared to the Haredi population because almost all Haredi voters vote for them.
100% not trying to be a dick, because I appreciate the insight.
But is there a typo in there?
Or are you saying that the population will always just vote for the party because of shared religious beliefs…
Even though the party acts against those beliefs?
Like, I’m not trying to argue if that’s logical. I’m American, we have far right abrahmic extremists too that unironically support trump despite him pretty much doing the opposite of their religious guidance at every chance. No judgement on that, I’m not asking you to defend them.
I’m just asking if I’m understanding you right about what’s going on. Because I don’t understand how the Ultra Orthodox party can have “disproportionate power” over their own voting base.
Except in the context that they just vote for whoever their religious leaders tell them to without question or thought.
But also, a lot of shit has gone down since 2016… Those numbers might not be up to date
The vast majority of Hareidi Jews are Zionist
So as a larger community, they’re hypocritical and support the genocide in Gaza.
But some fringe members are actually non-violent and against the genocide of their neighbors?
That makes sense.
But the other person just claimed the opposite:
Most ultra-orthodox Jews are actually anti-zionists
Which is what confused me.
I’m confused…
Are they a politically powerful group like the Associated Press says?
Or a small minority with no political power like a random social media account just told me?
Military service is compulsory for most Jewish men and women in Israel. But politically powerful ultra-Orthodox parties have won exemptions for their followers to skip military service and instead study in religious seminaries.
So…
Their religious beliefs prevents them from having military service…
But not supporting a genocide…
And they can still violently attack people?
It’s literally the people running his campaign…
“I think he’s the only Democrat who can beat Donald Trump,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a Biden campaign co-chair, said during an interview on ABC News’ “This Week.” “And let me tell you, we had the single best day of grassroots fundraising after the debate.”
And that’s not even getting into how those are pro-Biden donations so much as “please for fucks sake someone stop trump” donations that literally any Dem candidate would be receiving.
It’s what happens when you insist on running back to back campaigns on just not being the other guy…
Like, cool bro, we know the other guy sucks, but why are you here?
We could have someone we actually want instead, who is also not trump and have the same level of voter support.
From a cold emtionaless perspective, there is just literally no advantage to Joe Biden being the nominee.
And this election is more important than Joe Biden’s feelings. We shouldn’t just let him have this one, it’s not the last fucking cookie, it’s deciding who has the best shot of stopping a fascist takeover of the country.
Wouldn’t they benefit from more people?
The wealthy win when there’s more workers than work.
Historically the greatest gains in workers rights and the times we make the most gains against wealth inequality is when there isn’t a surplus of workers.
I mean, they’d be pretty much like real chickens.
Chicken rules are just prison rules.
You pick the biggest one, and punt it across the yard. Then it attacks the second biggest one and you’re done.
If you let one of them attack you first, then the rest are going to want to see how they measure up.
It looks stupid but is insanely effective.
The bobs helps pick out movement, once they pick out prey, they have laser focus and stop bobbing.
If you don’t think they’re similar, watch a video of a chicken hunting a mouse. It could be a scene out of a very low budget Jurassic Park.
Edit:
Randomly came across a relevant video
The party says who is on the ballot…
I really don’t think a significant amount of voters would write in Biden over any listed Dem.
Biden and the people he appointed to head the DNC don’t have to be the people running the DNC…
We can replace them and have a functional leftwing party again.
It’s not quick, and it’s not painless, but it’s possible.
That’s not going to stop trump.
What will stop trump is running a good candidate.
But Biden and the people he appointed to run the DNC would rather trump win than Biden step aside for the good of the country
most people don’t have a visceral horror of fascism
No the problem is instead of:
Fascists vs non-fascist
We get:
Fascists vs slightly less fascist
That’s not good enough to win elections. It’s not a binary choice between 0 and 1, it’s 0.5 and 1.
Republicans will vote Republican no matter what.
Dem voters have always needed a candidate they like and/or agree with to turnout en mass and get the Dem elected.
It makes zero sense to keep blaming Dem voters for having standards instead of blaming party leaders for continuingly shoving candidates we don’t like down our throats.
There is zero reason to keep pushing unpopular candidates.
But because we all held our noses for Biden 4 years ago, he got to nominate DNC leadership and he picked idiots who say Biden is our only shot.
Holding our noses and voting for a candidate whose not for basic parts of the party platform, just moves the party platform and makes it even harder to get votes the next election.
So…
You don’t think it’s possible the DNC or Biden does the right thing to maximize our chances of beating trump?
The primary isn’t a real election. The DNC can just nominate someone else, they’ve been very open about it
And Biden can obviously just step aside.
Do you think they don’t care if trump wins? Or that they’d just rather that happen then a Dem candidate Dem voters want winning?
So…
To you, a link about how people can organize politically online…
Isn’t evidence that people can organize politically online?
Here’s the bad news - the primary is over
It’s not tho.
The convention is the end of the primary.
Biden appointed Jamie Harrison to the head of the DNC.
And Jamie Harrison set the convention for mid August.
If you don’t like it, go complain to them. But they picked when the primary was over.
Backed up with nothing but excuses and self-serving bullshit. You have zero evidence to back up your “claims” …
…
Wait…
So you want evidence that someone can use the Internet to organize politically?
I gotta admit, I didn’t see that coming.
I’m willing to put the time in, I think we can do this. Please don’t hesitate to keep asking if you don’t get it yet.
I mean, probably, yeah that’s a safe bet.
But I meant you replied to me and said one thing, and someone else replied to me saying the exact opposite.
But yeah, you seem to know what you’re talking about and I was curious. So thanks for answering my questions.
