People will presure companies not to allow it. "I will not purchase your product because it is helping fund hate speech"

It doesn't matter that the company did not choose to place the ad there. The ad being there gives money to platform that they are recieving because of hate speech.

The "real" ones. I guess those are the rules "real" guards use in real life?

It's a riddle. The rules are whatever suits the riddle being presented.

Yes, the exact same thing said by the person you accused of changing the rules on a whim.

When you are literally making the rules yes. It's a riddle. There's no "real world application" here.

The third guard stabs people who ask tricky questions.

That's like saying "in my opinion": it's unnecessary. Of course it's your opinion or you wouldn't have said it, and of course that was true last you checked or you wouldn't claim that was the case.

If someone's information is out of date it is appropriate to correct them. It is absurd to expect people to do research before posting anything about anything to make sure it is "up to date".

For example: did you double check that you can in fact still play games off-line using Epic before posting? Or did you just assume it was true based on "last you checked"?

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney previously revealed that the company pays a flat fee to each developer to give away their games, rather than paying per download.

Your download doesn't give the developer any money. The fee is already paid. The Developer gets just as much from you if you pirate their game, or more if you go purchase it on a different platform instead.

If what you said was true at the time you don't look silly at all, because people don't follow companies they decide they are done with.

If it's outdated the reasonable response is simply informing people it's out dated. Expecting them to keep up with a latest news of a company they don't like makes you look silly.

"I don't purchase from comapny X ever since they did Y" is a perfectly reasonable thing to say when people are talking about company X. The reasonable response to someone saying that is simply "They don't do Y anymore, they haven't done that since [date]", not "HOW DARE YOU SHARE THE REASON YOU STOPPED USING COMPANY X IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN FOLLOWING EVERYTHING THEY'VE DONE FOR THE PAST COUPLE YEARS!"

Man, if only there was another way to get free games...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I’ve got thousands worth of free games

So what's the developer's cut on a game you got for free? Or are you not nearly as concerned about developers as you pretend to be for the sake of your argument?

Right, everytime I decide I'm done with a company I make a point of keeping up on what they're doing...
