unlike Baldur's Gate 3, absolutely everything about this game was designed specifically with microtrans in mind
Oh my God, you can't just say microtrans. The proper terminology is "gender dysphoric little person"
Actually that's the wrong use of that word in this context. It's actually a "queer questioning point of sale system" he's talking about.
No no no thats also wrong, it stands for micro transmission. Ya know for small vehicles.
Even you got it wrong! They were talking about the micro figurines for transformers! How you could miss that!!!
could be short for microtransient, and then we're talking about little hobos.. and who doesn't want to talk about little hobos..
sweet has POS been reclaimed?
No, you complete and utter point of sale.

Blizzard used to be great. Now they are awful.
They've been awful since Activision got involved. I knew that was the end the day the news broke, people told me I was wrong. I wish.
Also they sexually harassed an employee to suicide. That tells you all you need to know.
Blizzard has been on a downward trend for a lot longer than 3 years.
Whew. It's surprising how much of this I managed to miss
They were always awful. See: StarCraft Ghost
Haha yeah I remember that one :) That one really surprised people actually. Before that they had a good track record...
