No. I fundamentally disagree with the idea of changing the TOS after sale. That’s some grade A bullshit, and if we had decent consumer protection laws doing that would be illegal without an opportunity for a full refund. It blows my mind how many people seem to be okay with this in general. It’s not the Sony account that’s the issue for me, it’s Sony changing the terms when it clearly was not a requirement at release. Sony isn’t the only one guilty of this, but they are the most recent example.
I didn't feel targeted or offended. It was indeed a joke at the possibility of getting a moral freeride because OP was forced to, due to their country being delisted
The balance changes are fine. There's a lot to legitimately criticize here, why bring that up? Playing the game in its own right is amazing fun, in fact, the game being so good is why all of these surrounding problems hurt that much more.
Mate, Stephen Hawking was one of the smartest people on the planet, and I bet he preferred turn based over starcraft. Motor skills are not the same as strategic intelligence. Starcraft is a game with a solved meta, which prioritises motor skill over strategy. It's basically football as far as the intellectual difficulty goes.
And I say this as someone whose favourite strategy game is starcraft. Not because I think it's a well designed game, but because the Zerg are sexy and I want to fuck a hydralisk.
