That may be what the story is about, but my point was still made regarding food being eaten before being paid for.
I did not advocate for the beating of the man, I simply said eating something before it's paid for is improper (IMO) and I could see why someone could think they didn't pay.
Once proof was provided that should have been the end of it, so I agree with the outrage expressed in the article about the treatment of the man.
I'm not particularly into sports games but the NBA Street and NFL Street games were SUPER fun. Everything else I loved has already been mentioned in this thread though.
I have to play devil's advocate: How, unless they're watching you constantly on a monitor, would they know your kid ate the fruit while walking around? In theory couldn't your kid eat the fruit and leave the peel on a shelf somewhere before going to checkout?
I'm mainly saying this because I frown every time I see something that wasn't paid for being eaten in the store, and as a former retail worker I've found empty banana peels on shelves. I'm not saying that happened in this case but going "trust me bruh" that everyone eating fruit in the store is going to pay for it is asking for shrinkage.
They still use air traffic controllers, which is a government paid job if I'm not mistaken. The government would also back them up if their private jet or heli encountered an emergency and had to land due to a failure with the aircraft. The government regulates when and how their private planes have to be inspected and ready to fly. The government provides the water that the employees that gas up and maintain the aircraft use, and the roads that get them there.
So they may believe they don't need the government, but it's a big part of almost everything we do everywhere.
I'm thinking they were hoping that people would jump on it so hard they would rely on AI to make decisions and tell them what to do, but Microsoft would hold the keys to what information the AI put out.
Generally, though, when you force things down people's throats and they don't want it or want to use it, you're in for a bad time. I personally go out of my way not to use AI; there are tons of articles and talks out there about how it stifles critical thinking and research. That, coupled with how early it is and how they tried to put it in EVERYTHING, put a bad taste in my mouth just like Y2K many moons ago.
Similarly, in Battlefield 2, if you played Commander you could zoom in for a pretty good live feed of the battlefield so you could call out soldiers if one of your squads was in a fight. In addition to that you could do a full radar sweep of the full map that would put markers on enemy positions.
Anytime I did the full sweep and saw one or two soldiers waaaay outside of any fight, I knew they were either another Commander or a camper. So I'd do what they call "Car-tillery", and call a friendly jeep right on top of their heads. Bonus points if it was windy and you still got the angle right.
It became such an issue that servers would specifically ban Car-tillery, and if you were caught you'd usually get kicked. Good times, good times
I dunno, this could be a trap. They say the posts will be verified but it would likely be verified by someone not fired, some of which are completely on board with the mass firings.
Of all their games I easily have 800+ hours in Rogue Company and saw the writing on the wall after a year of no additional content and the same Christmas theme year-round. I stopped playing 6 months ago because I didn't want to invest in more time in a game that wasn't being supported and could be shut down any time.
I guess the good news is the servers will be up, but who is going to play now?
