    You forgot

    An update was recently released that didnt change the game in a way some long-term players wanted, and they’re angry they fell for hype from streamers and are taking it out on the devs instead.

    Or, as we recently saw in helldivers

    An update was recently released with a bad translation, and gave players an expectation they could do something that they couldn’t, and it became politicized






  • Its not clarifying anything.

    His point is only valid for the most literal pedantic interpretation of “client list”. An interpretation that any author should be embarrassed about insisting on.

    So, between the choices of
    “this prolific and renowned author has literal interpretation and refuses to accept any other interpretation”
    or
    “author infamous for including child SA in a novel, supports defense of child predators”
    I know which one I lean towards



  • It’s just strange that, despite criticising Trump constantly, he’d choose this specific thing to defend him on.

    He could have said nothing.
    He could have reasonably assumed that “client list” is short hand for data on who the clients are; a list formed posteriori by the investigators.

    But instead he said “people who think there is a way to learn the identity of the clients are crazy”.
    For a successful author, such poor grasp on the language is suspicious.
