I'm beginning to think companies are doing this to get people to leave by themselves

Neither is human life. And that don't have big lady to demolish me.

We need to signal boost this, if true, because that is an egregious waste of someone's time and a theft of their due compensation.

Are we eventually gonna get more fusion because billionaires are demanding more energy for their stupid projects?

Sure, knock yourselves out.

Because it sounds like they'd be ditching everything previous fans love about the universe and lore to hit a bunch of buzzwords. There is insane shit from older games that I'm sure will never see the light of day (unless a modder gets inspired) because Bethesda wants to sanitize and mass-marketize the world.

Will Elsweyr explore at all the fact there are effectively different species of Khajiit tied to under what combination of the phases of the dual moons the baby is born? Or will Bethesda just throw some big, gruff, talking tigers and some small, funny, talking house cats around and call it a day after putting in exactly one (1) version of each of those that inverts that mold?

Will the Mane be like this: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Mane ? Or will he just be a Khajiit in LaCroix-level flavorings of Middle-Eastern adjacent clothing?

Yeah, I'm not mad that they chomped Humankind's flavor. I see it as an admission that the game had good ideas (if less-than-stellar execution). I've just seem rando comments trying to tamp down on claims that there are similarities like their stock portfolio is riding on it.

I'm sure it's management's fault but they should be shouting out fellow devs in their breakdowns: "oh, we saw Humankind and thought it's mechanic was fascinating. But we wanted to adapt it closer to our style and refine some pain points we noticed in our execution."

Then I'll have to ask you what the original comment meant as you've denied the only obvious take I could read from it.

I like that last line. Is that from something? I'm uncultured.

Is this a genuine comment? Or some n-th level joke I'm too normie understand?

Because it reads to me like you're trying to redirect a tired, Comservative refrain that anything politically Left of Reagonomics is Communism (which hails back to the Cold War and the Red Scare) into some dogwhistle admission by the GOP that they are the same as the DNP and are, in fact, actually worried about Communists.

Which sounds ridiculous.

I think the connection is that it became a talking point because Vance brought it up. While it's likely he doesn't listen to Vance unless it's filtered through an LCD, I think the comparison is pretty apt

I thought those were just the rules?
