There absolutely will be many, many old systems that predate and don't use SQL there. Anyone denying this has zero idea about how many extremely old legacy systems are still in use in big corporations and governments. Hell I've done work for companies with revenue in the billions who were still using a legacy Access database program that they didn't have the code for, nor any documentation, so trying to automate data imports was an absolute nightmare - but they insisted on not replacing it because "that's the system we know and it works".

It doesn’t matter if it’s actually very safe to do, it’s the fact that many women have been and are attacked that way so women will always have that fear in the back of their mind. Trying to deny this is going against basic human psychology and behaviour.

You only need to look at the current “man or bear” discussion to see how wrong you are.

They already host their own, XBL and PSN. They don’t want any hassle outside of that. I doubt anyone shared anything to Twitter from consoles anyway.

Why can’t they just leave it as it is? The lord of the rings movies were good but we don’t need more. The hobbit series was pretty terrible. I don’t think anyone is clamoring for more. Prequels are garbage that no one wants, and there’s nothing post trilogy anyone would care about.

Women don’t generally like riding bikes home after dark through dimly lit streets and parks etc. Pretty universal thing.

Is it illegal if the creator is saying they’re ok with you getting it for free?

Why doesn't he just put the game up for free as an option then?

So many reasons. Not everyone lives close enough to the city. Not everyone wants to ride a bike. Not everyone has showers available at their work. Not everyone would feel safe riding a bike, especially women. Then there's the big one - the weather.

The people actually making the game disagree with you, but whatever. It’s clear you’ve got no idea.
