In a weird way, I kind of appreciate things like this. I was at least a little bit interested in checking this game out at some point. Not for $60, but maybe once it came down into the sub $20 range.
With this, any interest I had is instantly gone. I get to keep my money and I no longer feel any desire to play this game. Thanks, Ubisoft!
I have always believed that video was the “shot across the bow” to get Crowder to shut the fuck up and let the divorce proceed. His wife wanted the divorce to move quickly and quietly, outside the public eye. Then Crowder got loud about it, announced it was happening on his podcast and basically said that he wasn’t going to agree to terminate the marriage.
Next thing that happened was that video getting released. One video, one argument, verbal only, but it still clearly painted him as a piece of shit. In my mind, that video was the wife’s lawyers telling Crowder’s lawyers “We have all of the home security footage. Do you really want to battle this out in public?”
Does anyone really believe that argument was the worst thing they could have released? Listen to how that man spoke to his pregnant wife and tell me you don’t think he ever got physical with her. They only ever released that one video. Crowder shut up about the divorce and that was the last of it.
I have a bad feeling that apple is going to release a pair of smart glasses and all of the social momentum of discouraging wearing these things will be lost overnight.
I always liked the wii version because it didn’t have such aggressive “balancing” and you could win by half the racetrack or more if you played well and didn’t get blue shelled. I don’t know if the newer ones are like that, but it was a welcome change at the time in my opinion.
