You can get an xbox one copy for £25 new, only PS4 one tho seems to be that stupidly priced one.

You can check elsewhere on amazon though, might fine more offers that are a bit cheaper, that was the first one i happened across.

Heard a rumor that the PS5 images were released and is expected for a release at best in 2020 and will have backwards compatibility. I also heard an estimated price of 500 dollars or so.

Oh, give me a break. You people acting like you're changing the world by boycotting a video game company.

Pop quiz: Where do you think your computer was made? Your phone? Your game consoles? Your TV? Didn't see any outrage from you people over the sweatshop conditions you know all your devices were made from.

Because you weren't looking. People are outraged about that all the time.
But suddenly a trendy new hastag pops up, and you're all revolutionaries.

A new thing happened and people are reacting to it and that makes me mad.

This is why I hate internet activism. People pretending to care for likes. You don't really care, this boycott will do nothing, China will continue making all our stuff, Blizzard will still be rich and you'll find a new fad cause to jump on in a few weeks.

Sounds like quitter talk to me.

There. That's my 2 cents. Now let's talk about games.

I push the lever and the light comes on and I get the dopamine, 10/10, game of the year.

>TFW I finally get the Sagira exotic ghost shell after a several-week grind.
>TFW I get in on the same day as Bad Juju, an exotic gun that takes a long grind to get.

Feels pretty good. Both are worth it. Still prefer Outbreak Perfected as my go-to pulse rifle, but Bad Juju is just cool to play around with and look at.

Now...so figure out how the hell to get Rasputin Key Fragments since Mars no longer has heroic adventures...and to pray that I get Monte Carlo from a random exotic drop...

Fun fact, every time someone makes a joke about Half Life 3 taking forever, George R.R. Martin stops writing for a year. And every time Someone makes a joke about Martin taking forever to write, Half Life 3 has another year added onto its development cycle.

I saw a tutorial video for it once and it's insane how precise you need to be.
You have a lot of patience my dude.


Also, I figured out the reason why the first 2 Destiny 2 DLCs caused such a ruckus, the hard way.

The three soldiers in that mission with you are fucking useless, the vid i saw on youtube said ignore the guy in the bathroom and go past him, so of course he kills me like 50% of the time because the three spec ops dudes with shotguns and smgs right behind him cant shoot him.

I hear you man. I feel exactly the same way. And the best part is that they will NOT even go through with the boycott thing. Nobody ever does. It's all just pathetic virtue signaling.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

In the past week since Blitzchung's ban, several protests have been made. There was at least one official competition at a college in which participants displayed "Free Hong Kong" signs, forcing the broadcasters to cut the feed. There have also been reports of walkouts at Blizzard itself, and employees covering up plates in front of their offices that read "Every Voice Matters" to make statements.

Oh, and then you have Marco Rubio and some Democrat politician both calling out companies like the NBA and Activision-Blizzard for appeasing China.

That's all today though. Todays outrage always exists today. Especially in the media and politics where people are just pandering to get points. Call me in a month or three and you'll see everyone has forgotten about this except the Chinese government and the workers who will get fired over their misbehavior.
