Yes and if you live in that country wouldnt you be proud and supportive of that company because it benefits your country with the tax generated? And I assume you still have family and friends living in Poland and since we both agree that tax revenue is a good thing doesnt that mean you would support the success of CDPR as a Polish company because it benefits Poland and the people living there ?

They seem to be very reticent about Hadar....only time will tell

, I have never heard of it The only memorable game from SA is Stasis and Im not sure how many people know about it ? https://store.steampowered.com/app/380150/STASIS/ Ask your president why he gave a copy of W2 game to Obama, he can explain it Its just about being proud of something that comes from your country, patriotism and all that. I understand it

Yes and that is because OPEC is cutting 2 million barrels a day. But its simple supply and demand. It has nothing to do with the Western economic structure or sanctions against Russia so we dont want to read into it things that dont exist OPEC wants to make more money and they concerned with the overall demand for oil and " uncertainty " https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/10/05/gas-prices-going-up-opec-production/8191610001/

What would be fun about it? So we can see how much forced annexation\colonialism is supported when governments vote in secret and are hypocrites to what they say they believe in which is respecting sovereignty? What would be the point of a secret vote anyway because we wont know which countries dont respect international law and its not going to change anything? Its not going to end the war and Western sanctions will continue These votes in the UN are not binding, they more symbolic

Well in life you definitely dont just like something because its from your country, thats not what I am saying. You like things that are successful and when they globally recognized as prestigious its even more significant. And CDPR was founded and created by Polish people within Poland So it should be okay for you to be proud of it because you Polish, thats normal I would say for most people? Thats why Obama was given a copy of Witcher 2 by the Polish PM in 2011 https://www.gamespot.com/articles/obama-mentions-the-witcher-during-trip-to-poland/1100-6420055/

I wonder if Vals is not Comrade alt account ?

Typical Russian logic, faced with a highly transmissible airborne disease put everyone in the same confined space This is the " advantage " of living in a autocratic state for leadership. They dont have to worry about media or citizen backlash because you just arrest people who complain

The last time I heard from him he got angry because we were talking about SJW influence in the gaming thread, I would be surprised if he left because of that minor debate?

Wormie it must be nice to be Polish and have such a prestigious and famous company created by your countrymen ? Even if someone doesnt like the Witcher series, hard to believe but it has its detractors, CDPR created GOG and I dont think I have ever met anyone who doesnt like GOG? SA doesnt have any famous gaming companies, its not our strong point at all

Thanks for responding, I disagree with most of what you said but I respect the art of debate and how we often have different opinions on things

Here is the official CDPR strategic update

Indeed, here is an infographic about this. Exciting time to be a gamer

CDPR needs to commit to another trilogy of Witcher games, gaming companies should always stick to games that are guaranteed cash cows 💰

Dont mistake those Americans who are part of culture wars and groups like Qanon as representing everyone from that generation, they not. They extremists and not everyone is an extremist

Thats an objective video and he explains his opinion nicely on who is responsible for the pipeline sabotage in a convincing way. He raises valid concerns that Russia will more than likely target EU infrastructure as a way to try to influence EU support for Ukraine

Well the occupation and initial Russian military successes were about many towns and regions. Also I doubt there is an official Russian military communication that said " kill and torture civilians " So I thought it was more isolated and not occuring in every town?

Hi Vals, welcome back. Not sure what you so surprised by the statement " Russia is losing" ....are they winning? And who do you support, Russia or Ukraine and why do you support one side over the other. Just so you aware, very few people support Putins War on this thread, the invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked and we believe Ukraine is a sovereign country that has every right to decide its own future I know you love your anti-Western sentiment and conspiracy theories but I am summarizing the general sentiment most of us believe

I thought this disgusting and reprehensible behavior by the Russian military was isolated to towns like Bucha. But it now seems to be widespread and almost the norm in Russian occupied areas?

Agreed, sadly you dont see many examples of autocratic or governments like Iran being overthrown or ending through citizen protests. The leadership and there militant supporters have too much to lose Especially when the hardliners in Iran will happily deploy there security forces to arrest and kill protestors

But Musk is not trolling, he is sharing his opinion on a solution to end the war Its not great or convincing but its sincere and has some thought to it. Either way he is not trolling. You can disagree with him but lets criticize the suggestions rather than making it about a personal attack on him which seems to miss the point of a debate?

Do you think the German government has numbers of overt and covert Nazi?

Really interesting read and Navalny makes some convincing points about the future of Russia and its system of government. Here is the same link outside the WP https://ukrainetoday.org/2022/10/01/alexei-navalny-this-is-what-a-post-putin-russia-should-look-like/

Nah, Russia isn't at war with NATO because NATO hasnt deployed NATO forces to Ukraine Until then its just some NATO countries supplying military armements to Ukraine

Yes I realize it seems unrealistic now, I thinking this is achievable once Putin is gone one way or another? And I do agree with the benefits of continued Ukrainian military success, I am just thinking of finding a way to end the war and it will take compromise from both sides to achieve lasting peace Thats why Zelensky said " we believe in finding a peaceful solution but not with Putin"
