For me it is the other way around. At home too much distraction. In the office I can focus.

Anno 1404 and City Skylines

by your logic, if someone stole something, have it to his brother and then got caught, having the brother give back the stolen goods is something Nazis would have done.

According to Sippenhaftung the Nazis would probably have shot the thieve, his brother, their parents, other family members and burned down their houses.

In case of societies you mean collective liability then?

The society in question (which exactly?) of today is not the same compared to the society of the past. How can it be at fault?

The problem I have with this viewpoint is this.

Where does it start and where does it end?

World history is full of atrocities, crimes, war etc.

Additionally, many of the things which we now consider atrocity or crime might not even have been one in the past.

Fabricating such artificial claims is the same as Putin is doing by using the history book for creating claims on Ucraine.

That kids or later generations are liable for past crimes or wrong doings (by todays standards!!!) is not fair and it is no justice.

In German it is called Sippenhaftung and was even used by the Nazis.

For my taste your analogy is faulty.

You put it like it was a game of Civ.

The history and development of nations and cultures on Earth was/is much more complex.

It is moral blackmailing.

I cancelled my Xbox ultimate subscription because of the latest price increase. Eur 12,99 to Eur 14,99. Just no.

Cheaper to buy the games.

Having a car means freedom and independance. How happy I was having my car during crazy lockdowns.

Just get in the car and drive out of the city. No need for public transport.

BattleBit and Fifa23

Made severall purchases on G2A and Kinguin and never had a problem. I only buy old games though and only from resellers with a lot of reviews.

Stopped with G2A however when they asked me to upload an ID.

Time is too precious for wasting it playing subpar games on mobile phones.

For me the best gaming experience is on the PC.

I do not think that it is complicated to join or use.

But many do not care about privacy and centralization and hence will not leave mainstream platforms. Also the network effect is strong.

Figured I can just play the Battlefield games for which I payed less and which is basically the same but with better graphics, sounds and effects.

Also I can buy it later again when it is on discount below Eur 10,00.

Crusader No Remorse, Crusader No Regret and Civil War Generals 2

give it time and dedication. it will grow if we want it to.

Servus from Austria!

I bought Battlebit Remastered, and refunded it after 70 mins playing.
