... That's not the point here. The point is that they decided that if they launched the in-game shop at the same time as the game's initial release that they would get a bunch of bad reviews. This is worrying mainly for the fact that if they had this train of thought, that means that it must be super predatory.

It's a Linux command. It means Remove (rm) from the root folder (rf) everything, and don't warn me about this action (/*)
It's the "Kids Online Safety Act". Basically it's using the old "think of the children!" move, but in reality conservatives are trying to push anything queer back into the dark.
Plus he only really came back with the last Crisis or something, so he's pretty fresh for lack of a better term
Even emails have tracking pixels at this point. Like, I route all of my email through a client that blocks all outside media without asking lol
There is no such thing as an unintrusive advertisement.

Rock and Stone! Yeah!
Honestly, natural disaster/Apocalypse has been on mine since 2021
Not especially.
A few years back, in November 2020, Bungie decided to vault all of the DLC before their most recent at the time (Shadowkeep); this was to both keep the game fresh and without cheesy weapons and whatnot, as well as to keep the game size lower. The thing is, those campaigns and raids that they vaulted? Those were the only Free-to-play aspects aside from the basic game modes at the time.
What I'm getting at here though is that because they got rid of those experiences, a lot of the story elements that were previously established with those campaigns were gone. Now the only way to experience them is to: a) Look at the in-game Timeline b) read the lore books in their tab, or c) watch YouTube for a good 2 hours at least to figure out what the hell the Fallen are, why the Witness is our Big Bad, and why Taniks always comes back.
To be fair, most of Forbes' writers (especially for games journalism) are Freelance.
Honestly, I'm fairly certain of the 90 or so games I have on EGS, I've only paid for one lol
