Age of Mythology: Retold, and its 2 (soon to be 3) major expansions.


Oh. Well if you’re right, then I just double down. That’s a shitty thing to do. Assuming bad faith tends to be the sign of someone who themselves acts in bad faith. The first comment asked a reasonable question and there was no rational basis on which to assume it was anything other than sincere.


It’s actually a shame, because Windows Phone was actually good. It featured a much more user/task-centric UI, letting users think about what they want to do, rather than which app they need to use to do it. Of course, this was bad for apps’ ability to gain and reinforce brand recognition. So of course they didn’t want to support it.


I’m confused about what point you’re making here. @[email protected] is asking for recommendations. How do they “take the first step” when they have no idea what’s good? Especially when they’re talking to someone who seems to already know which ones are good, and it’s very easy to ask their knowledgeable opinion.


Is the Fairphone decent?

Couldn’t tell you, because they refuse to sell them in my country. 😡


Wait a 24 hour delay? Damn. I heard a month or so ago that they had planned to back down on the strict sideloading ban, and came into the comments to point that out. But a mandatory 24 hour waiting period (something, if memory serves, America can’t even do to own literal deadly weapons)‽ Geez that’s way worse than I was expecting.


I highly doubt they’d do it this blatantly if they were not confident this is an easy sell

I mean, I would have agreed with you, except we’ve also just recently seen even more blatant and indefensible union-busting from Rockstar in the UK, another country with good labour laws, and another country with more than adequate legal resources.

I think you’re probably right that Ubisoft has sufficient legal cover to win this case, but that’s because of the merits of this case, not because a big company from a country with good laws could never do something stupidly illegal.
