The initiative's issue isn't with them being online-only (though personally people hate it). The initiative aims for games to have the ability to have a reasonable state of playability past the end of life.

This is for all kinds of games - single-player, multiple player, live service, only only. The point is to keep what you paid for.

What do you mean?

Changing the design happens during the pre-production. This will not effect any games retroactively. As unfortunate as it is, until the EU parliament decides on a law or regulation all games destined to die will die.

Any games that are grandfathered in, would be done so by the good will of the corporations if they do wish to.

It was supposed to be a joke, but just look at them.

Of course, this isn't Socio-economics, but RACISM against WHITE people!

A data analyst with an econ degree specialising in econometrics and a political science degree. That's awesome.

Are you the cousin that my mother foretold about?

Interesting.

Let me rephrase: I always believed it had good writing, but lacked interesting enough scifi concepts for me. In my opinion good writing trumps all, but having a interesting hook always makes writing more accessible.

I had already seen the same save the world and interspecies stuff by the time I was concious enough to play mass effect. (I am not that young, but I think mass effect came out in 2007.)

Ahh fair enough, I don't know enough of the whole story. I take back what I said.

Curious to know why.

Mass effect for me feels like it's generic scifi, so I can't get into it and appreciate the writing but KOTR has a star wars flair at least.

I like it, but if there was some back and forth between them, it would feel more real?

Padme backs off after first unknowingly coming on to him (he's a handsome badass), but then anakin pushes back citing the Jedi code. And when feels the push towards padme, she backs off because - jedi and younger. Basically the same as what you said, but they both want to do it, and they both know it's wrong on some level.

The palpable tension going back and forth would make it more interesting.

And making him a little older - 21 or something would also make it less creepy yet maintain his naivity.

But I suppose it would be less spicy, if the relationship isn't lopsided. I guess then it would depend on the direction one would want to take.

Do you want it to be a tale of a young boy being semi-groomed or an equal relationship.

I mean you could already consider padme being disingenuous by wearing such clothes and being "oblivious" to how anakin feels. Maybe she did know and wanted to push him on but without it feeling like she was responsible for any of it.
