  • In a way I don’t believe Nintendo was naive enough to rely on ‘pinky promise’. Nintendo makes you sign NDAs for getting information about unreleased games, going to events, and playing review copies. Usually not personally, but there’s a contract between Nintendo and the news / writing org.

    So I’m pretty sure they did this with the foresight that people would start talking about it. How they can see that as a net positive I find hard to argue, but they get datamined on the regular and games are leaked a week before street date so they had to know.




  • Unpopular, maybe. Controversial, I hope not. Your opinion and experiences are valid.

    Can you pinpoint why it’s a turn off? I understand you’re saying you want to be outside, but is it from a feeling of being limited when you’re inside?

    Flipping it: do you prefer playing games that are in the sky like Bioshock Infinite over Bioshock 1/2 that are underground (on the sea floor)?








  • I’m gonna get flak for this but no, Discord does not sell any user data, no matter how many times people keep repeating it. Quoting a legendary redditor here:

    Discord’s privacy policy repeatedly states that they do not sell your personal information:

    We don’t sell your personal information. Our business is based on subscriptions and paid products, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

    We make money from paid subscriptions and the sale of digital (and sometimes physical) goods, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

    We do not sell the personal data of our users or share personal data for targeted advertising purposes.

    ‍No sale or “share” of personal information: The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that sell or “share” personal information. We do not sell or share the personal information of our users as defined in the CCPA.

    This is a legal document that they will get in trouble for if they were lying. They’ve already been fined hundreds of thousands of euros for GDPR violations but that curiously did not include a fine for “took people’s personal information and then sold them without consent whilst explicitly saying they didn’t do that”

    Discord further has no third party advertisements which they can use to “sell” your data by allowing those advertisements to target you.
