He’s afraid he’ll be martyred. Don’t forget, Navalny returned to Russia willingly right after releasing a documentary on Putins secret mansion. It was allegedly to put Putin in the awkward position of choosing between keeping an opponent with popular support alive, and killing him and potentially motivating the masses. Locking him away somewhere distant and keeping him there until he’s forgotten about is probably the best way to get rid of him. I’m pretty sure most Russians know that the legal system is a farce.

Yeah the developers are themselves just workers that don’t profit no matter how well the game sells. Some might incidentally hold some shares in the company they work for but it’s not big money. They aren’t the board and they aren’t the primary shareholders.
People like being known for having a hand in the Big Game of the Decade. People who worked on Skyrim have that as part of their resume and can point at it and gloat about this crazy thing that is beloved by many.
Conversely an attack on a game they had a hand in developing feels like an attack on their own capabilities — whether or not that has anything to do with it directly.
This happens in the military far too often.

Yeah. Who will we make fun of if they’re all gone?
You’re so deep in. Wow. You can literally turn on the TV and see the bodies and burned out apartments stacking up on corporate media.
The tide is turning, Zionist. The world is starting to hate Israel.
Kind of hoping Russia gets what they want and the US Balkanizes. It wouldn’t make the world a safer place but it would make me feel a little better temporarily. Then we can all finally stop talking about it and move on to the next topic.
It’s not a supply issue — there’s enough empty homes in Canada right now to house every single person in this country.
No one made mention of anything being ‘invented’ anywhere until you, just now. I think I’d like to quote from one of history’s true greatest food scholars when I say, “What is even going on in this thread?”
I’m outta here.
I think after a cuisine or manner of cooking has been used in a region for almost a thousand years we are free to say it is authentic to that region, even though it was introduced. That you would deny Indians that, while accepting that Thai cuisine only started using chilli peppers in the last 300 years, opens a broader discussion about your personal understanding of culture and ethnicity.
Further, a Big Mac is a product made by a single corporation, lmao. I’m not going to justify that with further argument. But to use your Naitive American angle; a big part of NA cuisine is a bread called ‘bannock’. It can be savoury or sweet, and every tribe cooks it a little different from every other tribe. It is an important part of Indegenous cooking… and it’s an introduced food. The word bannock isn’t even from any native word. It came about from Scottish settlers/workers surviving on meagre company rations of flour and oil in isolated regions where they had no idea how to get food from the land. First Nations were introduced to it then found themselves in a similar situation as they were pushed off their land and given flour rations by the government so they wouldn’t all die. This all happened so recently my grandparents knew people affected by this.
It’s integral to their culture, even, and anyone who would deny bannock isn’t naitive would rightly be called an idiot by any indigenous person I know. Even though it’s an introduced food. That’s how culture, and food, work.
This is a Canadian media source reporting on Canada. Do you have anything to add other than “other people do it so we should too”?
There is one specific breed of dog kept for meat and no one has them as pets. They’re basically cattle.
