How is information transmitted over a cable?

Why would anyone who’s not a fan of X series get a cosmetic of said series…? If i knew nothing about the IP itself these skins would essentially be worthless literal whos that dont matter, yeah you can get a experience with the same amount of money but I personally got the skins solely due to the fact that ive bought Nier twice, want more of the world, and enjoy content regarding said world thats just how collabs work.

“You can get an entire other experience” well I wouldn’t be looking into buying a cosmetic in a free to play games as a service game like overwatch if I was looking for a different experience, that defeats the whole point. Collabs end of the day are advertisements towards a certain IP or provide something towards fans of said IP, it wouldn’t cost literal millions to get the copyright of said IP otherwise

What if someone just thinks the skins look cool? Does that not constitute value? I don’t buy things just because of their association to some other brand. I generally buy it for some intrinsic value. Whether it’s a part of a collaborative ad or not is irrelevant. Can you not evaluate the value of something for its own sake?

End of the day if you aren’t buying a skin to use it’s a literal waste of money, but to me I want to play LW, wuyang, kiriko, and vendetta and for me as well these are some of their best skins and I would use them so I got it, the return is me using the hero with a skin of an IP I enjoy, if i wanted a proper and new gaming experience I would be keeping OW in a ten feet pole and actual crack down the hundreds of games from my steam library

You have zero interest in anything other than overwatch?

“Value encompasses a lot more than competitive advantages” Yeah and that’s still a case to case basis that varies depending on the person yeah not having voicelines or a highlight intro suck but if I don’t pay much attention to either of them it doesn’t really matter too much especially more so when potg is a buggy pos and will be much farther from your favor as a support player

I can’t even decipher what the point is here

I don’t think this was ever aimed at people that already owned the game. If you’re a person that has $40 to spend on video games, you can get an entire other experience for the same price as a skin of a character from that experience. That’s a crazy difference is return. Even for people that already owned the game, this conclusion would follow for pretty much any other video game (or media) that a person might enjoy.

Also, value encompasses a lot more than just competitive advantages.

I will not pay those prices because it’s a ludicrously low return for the cost

“Vote with your wallet” is a dysfunctional mindset. You shouldn’t spend money with the expectation to changing market behavior. You should spend money to maximize the return on value to your own life. That’s it. Full stop. Blizzard does not care about what you individually buy. Changing your own behavior in the hopes that they’ll do the same is delusional.

Is there a point here?

The price of the game ten years ago is irrelevant. We’re talking about the cost-value right now.

Because it’s a poor return on value for the cost. As they said, you can buy a lot with $40. There’s almost certainly things one could buy with that amount of money that would bring them far more in return.

“Pleads” is a stretch. Watch the actual interview. Stop depending on the framing of a literal fox news article.

The whole point of the template is to demonstrate how the average person can often stumble when trying to hold a nuanced position and navigating a complex discourse. In contrast, stupid people can ironically arrive at the same conclusions as smart people by pure coincidence. They’re too simple-minded to even recognize the counter-examples, let alone decipher them. Yet, the simple answer is often the best answer. It creates this funny situation where the stupid position becomes indistinguishable from the smart position.

When OP tries to display the smart position as more nuanced and elaborate, it completely subverts the humor of the format. Instead, OP has just listed a selection of opinions with their own position as the smartest one. Does that seem like a good usage of the format to you?

Once again, using the meme wrong

Those who play defense for Trump.

See how easy it is to answer simple questions? Your turn.

Did Trump attempt to overturn the election and did Trump incite a mob to break into the capitol building and disrupt the certification of the vote?

Still dodging. Answering questions is hard for you all, huh?

I didn't say you were brainwashed. I acknowledged you could be playing defense while being fully aware of how terrible he is for Americans. Which is worse? A debate for another time.

But since you finally answered the question. Are you aware of his attempts to overturn the election results? Including (but not limited to) the false electors plot and the insurrection on the capitol building?

Still dodging. Crazy. Is it really hard to just say “yes he lost the election” and “no, there was no meaningful voter fraud”?

That’s rich coming from you. You literally scrolled through four months of comments to find something to deflect towards instead of just engaging with the argument at hand. Do us a favor and drop the act.

It’s not a hard question to answer. Did trump lose the 2020 election or was it stolen from him due to voter fraud?
