Government lawyers? Sure. But they get paid too. Afaik, Trump isn't opening his personal wallet to fight government lawsuits so these monies are consumed from the government coffers, which are filled by the taxpayers? That's what I mean. They are already getting paid so I'm not sure how it becomes more expensive for the government other than maybe court fees. Or overtime, if they even get that.

You did WHAT...?!

Wouldn't the lawyers already be on staff?

Every McDonald's I've been that has the touch screen ordering machines still has people behind the counter taking orders and in the back making the food. I even got table service last time I was in New York. The one closest to my work encourages ordering ahead via their app and they'll bring the food out to your car. I can only speak to what I've personally seen but it hasn't been at all like the doom and gloom "you wanted $15, now meet your replacement" type arguments.

As marketing stunts go it's not that bad. They've got us discussing them after all.

Yeah, it's definitely one of those movies you pretend to like just so people on the internet will leave you alone about it. I actually do like it. Honest.

If mobile games cost 60 bucks would you still be okay with the micro transactions? How about if they weren't as bad or there was less of a need for them in previous games?

How did Tides of Nurmanurma end up doing? I finished it but I thought it had a lot of near misses at doing something awesome and ended up kinda blah.

I dunno, man. Here's the thing, I bought NBA2k18 for 60 bucks only to have a lot of things gated behind online play and extremely long grinds or a paywall. These are features that were a part of earlier games in the series right out of the box. Grinding to better your player was always part of the experience but with the latest game they've stretched it out to a ridiculous point with smaller rewards and higher requirements. It's like getting a free to play game for a AAA game price.
