But then they wouldn't get so many clicks and reactions.

Everyone's malding over spoilers and not realizing this isn't an actual ending that's coded into the game, it's just a funny side effect of a spell that malfunctioned during the end boss.
Again with the fixation on the OP. Let me be more direct: I didn't ask you.
Everyone has given good advice, but I just want to remind you:
it’s kinda dusty and feels like a bad place for babies
They evolved to do this without much human intervention in all kinds of outdoor conditions. Have their lives been improved by domestication and human watchfulness, yes, absolutely... but they'll be okay. A little dust will not be a serious hazard.
It's kind of you to care so much.
Sure, but that was just additional context for my question, which was what this poster feels is the difference between changing owners and buying out a company.
A mass international chain operation like Starbucks definitely has a whole team whose job it is to know the local regulations and do the bare minimum to meet them, only going above and beyond if it's cheaper (bigger building with an extra bathroom was lower rent).
E: lol why are you downvoting all these replies? I didn't even say you were wrong about what you said, or that Starbucks isn't being a dick by only doing the bare minimum. I just said Starbucks probably knows the law where that shop was. How about you take your mad little downvote finger and use it to campaign for better bare minimums?
What is the difference, in your mind, between changing owners and buying out a company?
To me they're the same thing and this is an appropriate reply for OP. Is it just a matter of scale for you? (I think we'd all like bigger examples, but this still works)
Huh. I guess you're one of those that waits for people to tell you things in the comments, makes weird extrapolations about it, and jumps to conclusions rather than just clicking the OP link and absorbing the information there?
How did you even get that from what I said?
And literally the second tweet the dev made was "they've never sent any replies to me" so he's clearly been trying?
I'm usually more understanding of people missing information, but it took you more time and effort to jump to these conclusions and write a totally incorrect defense of Epic than it would have to just see that the info is right there.
No, there was absolutely no claim that it was an innocent mistake, I'm not sure why that was written there. It's just a promise to look into it, no more no less.
The procedural content especially is, like, antithetical to the formula.
Agreed; I don't even understand why procedural generation is popular anymore. It was novel in its first uses, but where devs see convenient shortcuts and marketers see "infinite replayability," I see "this shit is all going to feel identical after like 5 tries tops."
Oh look, it's the skybox from 3 planets ago with the ruin from 2 planets ago and the enemy selection from 5 planets ago. And I think this might be a new shade of blue in the grass, or is that just the skybox casting a weird hue over everything?
Much refreshing, very discover, wow.
Right?! I was a teen at the time in an area where people were really into this guy. This and B.I.G. were huge events around then. It's a shock seeing it suddenly dredged up again, let alone in this way.
I initially had concerns about how they were going to prove anything after so long, but after reading the article, it sounds like the guy has basically confessed dozens of times over in great detail and would have to fall back on the "haha I was kidding" defense to avoid consequences.
People can also apply the slightest semblance of critical thinking and realize most gaming journalism outfits, no matter their questionable quality, will realize they won't last long if there are true spoilers in the titles. Therefore this isn't really a spoiler.
Like they're obviously going to phrase things in ways that get more engagement, which is why it's a crucial skill on the internet today that readers need to think critically and not just accept headlines literally.
I'm not saying it's right, but jfc man, you have to develop skills to engage with the internet you have, not the internet you wish you had. I really feel no sympathy for people who thought this was a spoiler. At least this is a cheap lesson in gullibility instead of a costly one.
