They're also doing the same thing with Google Play - arguing that collecting user emails for osm login doesn't count as collecting data.

D3 at launch had no endgame at all, much like D2. It was just farm bosses in the campaign until you got better gear to move to the next difficulty, rinse and repeat. Now, it did take longer because the game was balanced around the auction house. You were incredibly unlikely to find gear that would carry you into the next difficulty, so buying gear was generally the strategy to get you to the next difficulty. Then you could sell the gear you farmed there. It wasn't really an issue on Normal/Nightmare, but it was on Hell/Inferno.

Ha fair point. I'd argue though that if you never, say, took the steps of getting to the NFL then you didn't make an "attempt."

But yeah, in your analogy it's more like his team didn't make it to the playoffs.

To be fair, that balance of progression in D3 didn't come until Reaper of Souls. Should they have learned from it? Yeah. But D4 is honestly in a better place than D3 was at launch.

I didn't even think about the software costs. Makes sense. The whole "you don't really own your games."

Albino is only used as a term when it's a deviation from the species norm usually. There are all white cave bugs.

Eh, you're talking what, $1500 for a headset and rig? Even if you have 4 setups at one of those kiosks the cost to have someone running it is going to quickly outpace the cost of the hardware.

The article specifically says he did not get to try ape sperm on human women. I know it takes away some of the shock value of your post.

Honestly I think Diablo 4 is just geared towards relatively casual players. I can only play an hour-ish per day, and I'm on a reasonable pace to finish the battle pass with week to spare.

I understand the frustration from hardcore players though, when you consider the level of commitment D2 took.

That's awesome. I would love to see some new content on a similar (or the same) engine.

Voice control for activities will no longer be available on Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 devices. You'll need to use the buttons on your device to start, stop, pause, and resume activities. You can still voice control activities on Pixel Watches.

Wow. Removing an existing feature from an older and cheaper device and leaving it only on the newer, more expensive device?

Yup. We had one but after we had a smouldering fire in our outdoor trash can we got several for different points in the house. We also have escape ladders in the bedrooms.
