Coooool! Thanks for mentioning that! :3

Why do they figure I never played one of my favourite games?
Played that, 2, Ascend, Vengeance... was there another? Feels like there's another I played. Also played Starsiege. And Cyberstorm. ... Now I want new stuff like those. Bleh!
Holy fuck, "we" are seriously even considering letting a company hunt somecritter down over game cheats?
Imean, I knew this was a cyberpunk dystopia without the cool parts but... c'mon, really?
I see the matters as connected: I figure people who flip out about "antisemitism" at anything even mildly unfriendly to Israel are serving (deliberately or not) to defend, justify, or even glorify its vile actions. That is, I think it's not "zomg those poor pixel Jews!" but rather "Shhh, don't talk like people are fighting against the IDF for a reason! (Let's just accept that they're all horrible evil sub-humans who must to be exterminated for the good of our wonderful, beloved friends and allies!)"
Thanks for the information. I really didn't know about that attack and was on my way out at the time so I was more reacting to generalities and what was right in front of me.
I don't mean to suggest that anything and everything should be socially acceptable as freeze peach, just that I feel some people are being disingenuous and should be expected to point out an actual problem like "Look here, the rewards you get vary based on the racial and religious background of every civilian you kill!" Killing civilians who happen to be present regardless of other matters is murder. Killing opposing military personnel regardless of other matters is battle. Killing people because they're Jewish is murderous antisemitism. Not wanting something seen doesn't make it a crime... but I think some people are so stuck picking sides that even mention that there's another point of view offends them ๐คท
That said, could be Hamas is pure evil for all I know and there's just no way to present anything they do without it being disgusting. I just... bleh, maybe it's an autism thing. There's a nit there that I can't help but pick ๐ I want more sincerity and sense in this world.
The wording of the complaints has me wondering if the game actually does anything "wrong" by the normal standards of video gaming. Like, does it actually glorify violence specifically against Jews? Is there some mission objective to butcher a bunch of civilians? I glance at the Steam page and it looks like the political statement its creator claims it is.
I'm pretty sick of this "anything that isn't hardcore pro-Israel is antisemitic terrorism" horsecrap. Either care about human life or don't, don't BS me and everyone else like the acts and atrocities committed in video games suddenly matter when characters who happen to be (presumed) Jews are involved.
... Is he trying to say the US is committing acts of war against Russia?
I think I need a nap.

This term seems absurd and disgusting to me.
Eight billion dollars into a fad but somehow "the economy" is a shambles and no real people seem to be doing well. I suddenly have many unnice things to say ๐ฎโ๐จ
