    Don't support Microsoft. Pirate the game. Or if you do buy it, don't buy it digitally, get a used copy.

    No. I prefer getting the 5% back towards my next purchase. I'd rather MS keep putting games on Nintendo consoles than not. Then lemmings might die completely.

    How would a book not have the right pronouns?  So DEI is the badguys for books being removed they never addressed, yet we are nearing a year with conservative book banning laws where at little as one parent can have books removed from schools, yet you've never complained about it before. 

     

    Lol "newspeak" you're such a bot. 

     

     

    Let's see.. one side removes Ann Frank. The other side removes anal sex positions for amputee lesbians.

    Entertain me here, what is the actual reason for this and who are the "bad guys" in this situation?

    DEI is the bad guy. The library staff are so afraid of "offending" that out of caution they remove half the books on their shelves that don't contain proper pronouns and that do not contain the "newspeak".  It's a cultural thing now. I can't point to one bad person. It's a way of thinking that has become pervasive.

    'Empty shelves with absolutely no books': Students, parents question school board's library weeding process

     

    Books published in 2008 or earlier removed from school library amid confusion around new equity-based process

     

    Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

    Those are all examples of books Reina Takata says she can no longer find in her public high school library in Mississauga, Ont., which she visits on her lunch hour most days.

    In May, Takata says the shelves at Erindale Secondary School were full of books, but she noticed that they had gradually started to disappear. When she returned to school this fall, things were more stark.
