Jagged Alliance 3 eh? Anyone knows if it has any of the goodness from 2 in it?

But why? Isn't this game shock full of micro transactions?

And then in another game, you have the same quiet first minute while waiting for the Pelican and then you get the next minute fighting two bile titans and three chargers that came from out of nowhere...

Moments before the belly-trap was activated...

The price feels really high, you're right. For me, it makes me think of why the rest is the phones are not more expensive. If FP5 costs this much with such underwhelming specs, but with a truly fair supply chain, then all other players must be cutting a lot of corners. I will must likely be getting a FP5 because of the statement. Just hope the camera is good enough that I can live with it for 10 years...

What's the issue people have with Epic Games Store?

The exclusivity-thing is a no-brainer for someone that needs to break into a market dominated by a behemoth like Valve. How would you suggest Epic Games Store grow the fastest with a big bag of Fortnite-money?

Sony plays this game the best and I don't see as many gamers complaining about their anti-competitive behaviour, despite being the biggest one...

Epic as a company is another thing completely though but is that why gamers hate on the Epic Store?

Sigh I really don't have time for more gaming but I guess I need to make an exception for this one... The books and TV series are fantastic and I want more on the same.

Some kind of solvent in the keyhole?

As someone said: "The 'S' in 'IoT' stands for Security".

I expect this to do very little to the problem, where consumers don't understand and care enough to pay extra for secure stuff, and producers will not spend resources on something that consumers don't want to pay for.

The laws that I see working are the ones that punish companies that, by negligence in security measures, enable private data to be leaked.

You can never leave this decision as a choice to the consumer.
